Improvement in Lincolnshire UK leaders say they have a “war declared” on green energy projects.

Boston and Skygnes MP Richard Tice, Greater Lincolnshire Mayor Dame Andrea Jenkins and Councilor Scene Mathews, who led the County Council, launched a campaign at a press conference held in Boston earlier.

He said that they oppose air and solar farms and battery storage facilities, adding tice: “It is a complete resentment of what is the madness of net stupid zero with our county -what is doing for our country.”

The government said that Green Energy was important in providing energy security, while Labor MP Melani On argued that the improvement trend posed a risk for thousands of jobs.

County is called “important infrastructure projects” for county, many of which are included Large -scale solar farm And A corridor of toran Between Grimbi and Walpol, in Norfolk.

The fate of such projects will be decided by ministers and not by local councils.

Plans for large -scale projects such as Naveenbi, a solar farm near Lincolnshire, have been found with protests by residents.

Tice told the conference that his Vidya Abhiyan (Lincolnshire Akshay opposes eyes) would use “available every liver” to prevent these events.

He also claimed that the government’s pure-zero schemes were convicted for high power prices in Britain.

The government said that energy bills were increased due to the “dependence on volatile gas markets” of the country.

During the conference, Dame Andrea compared the fight against Green Energy to the Bomber Command, which was located in County during the World War 2.

She said that she wanted to “reveal the spirit of Lincolnshire” against “the employed waste of our rural areas”.

The mayor said: “We are the baskets of bread that feed Britain, so I ask that any government has endangered the food security of the nation due to large -scale solar fields?”

Government has said Brownfield sites and lower grade lands should be preferred for solar farms and “even in the most ambitious landscapes” the total area used will capture up to 0.4% of the UK land by 2030.

However, Jenkin claimed that the net-georo was “a con” and argued that oil and gas were the answer to the UK energy needs.

Echoing the words of US President Donald Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign, he said “Aao 2029”, when the reform UK expects to win a general election, will “drill baby drill”.

MP ONN for Great Grimebie and Cleethorps said, “The decision to improve himself against an area, which appoints about 12,500 people in Lincolnshire as much as he currently appointed as more and more in Lincolnshire -” and putting his jobs at risk ” – the role of a directly chosen mayor, which was” completely obstacles “, which” was to improve economic growth “.

A government spokesperson for energy security and net zero said: “Families have seen their energy bills passing through the roof due to our dependence on volatile gas markets controlled by dictators like Putin.

“Solar and an advanced grid is central for our mission to become a clean energy superpower, provides energy security so that we can get bills for good.”
