00:00One wind turbine can take between 5 and 15 years to recoup its price.

00:04I suppose we're investing in the future.

00:06If these things lasted a little bit longer, maybe it would be worth it.

00:09Yes, I do pay more for green energy and I'm very willing to do so,

00:13though because solar is so much cheaper now than fossil fuels,

00:18we should all be paying less.

00:20I've used energy providers in the past, specifically green energy providers,

00:25and their standing charges or their daily rates were higher.

00:30Then I could have paid because I was plumping for the green deal or the green version.

00:36I think Ed Miliband should have been sacked long ago with his net zero.

00:42He's destroying our economy.

00:44I pay more, but I want to know how it was done.

00:48Not just, here's the green energy, now you pay us a percentage more money,

00:52which is an issue in my opinion, that a lot of the big energy companies

00:56are kind of finding out that they have to explain themselves.

00:59And they can't.
