Atom power doesn't seem to work in this crisis.It didn't during the last crisis.And not during the one before.

Thank you,Elaine.

The Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment states in his answer: "Officials from my Department have engaged with stakeholders on the optional provisions in the New Electricity Market Design Directive (2024/1711), including the provision relating to plug-in mini solar systems, through an online consultation that ran from September to October 2024. "

Stake holders ... did the Department not ask the consumers,the Minister for consumer affairs,the renters associations,environment and peace activists,economists,democrats,defense specialists ... I guess so.

He didn't ask me for sure.

How can we get,can anyone get onto the 'stakeholders' list?!

Thanks again :)
