In the United Kingdom, as we've also seen in Germany, energy prices are rising. The UK Telegraph in this article reports that complaints are escalating along with calls for change in the government's "green" policies. It is expected that energy costs will continue to rise every year for the rest of this decade.
Last Friday the Telegraph reported that "one of the most influential think-tanks in the country will say energy subsidies for wind farms and solar panels are a "regressive" tax". Regressive means that it falls more heavily on the poorer taxpayer than on the wealthier one.
In a related United Kingdom story, a wind farm in the Yorkshire Dales hasn't functioned for years and is being torn down for scrap metal.
