The Prime Minister has stated that if the UK wants lower energy bills, it will need to construct more pylons above the ground rather than incur the higher costs of burying cables underground.
Sir Keir Starmer articulated that the public will need to accept the presence of pylons or potentially face higher taxes, emphasizing that the pylons are necessary to transport electricity from offshore wind farms.
Campaigners opposing the pylons in East Anglia feel neglected in this decision-making process, expressing that they have been metaphorically "thrown under a bus," while Starmer rebuts this by advocating for pragmatic trade-offs.
The Prime Minister insists that despite the option of underground cables being available, the associated costs are too high, especially in a time when citizens are concerned about their tax burdens.
