Wanting energy investment to not come from foreign enterprise is basically the same as socialism to some.

Context: Restore Britain dropped an energy policy paper and I got a whiff of neoliberalism reading it. They embrace AI as an industry to be supported and are happy for the private sector to build substations for their own use, while not addressing the fact our existing infrastructure is many decades old and having more life extensions is not the answer.

Repealing regressive regulations like Net Zero is fine and dandy, but to turn round and say the solution is to let foreign investment fund the renewal of the grid is not the nationalist platform they should be championing.
This is populism off the back of Thatcherism. Creating the conditions for more foreign control over our energy supply, leaving us vulnerable in times of war and volatility, is detrimental towards national interests.

@meeper Rupert Lowe and his team are not libertarians. Rupert regards himself as a Tory when asked in a mainstream media interview, which is in contention to his young acolytes who are more radical.
