this all sounds great on paper 
but how much is the real cost to taxpayers when you factor in those transmission costs? like, what's really going into those bills that consumers are gonna see decrease? also, what about the environmental impact of building more and more wind farms? we're talking about 12 million homes here... is our grid even ready for this kinda scale?
and btw, £90.91/mwh might sound cheap but it's still £9.91 more than a new gas-fired power plant
that's not insignificant. how does the gov plan to make up for that? and what about the jobs created - are they all sustainable in the long run or just short-term fixes?
lastly, i'd love to see some actual data on the carbon emissions reduction from these wind farms. is it really 40% less expensive than gas power? where's the proof?

The UK's latest offshore wind subsidy auction is like a breath of fresh air for our planet 
. It's amazing that they've secured enough new capacity to power 12 million homes and created over 7,000 new jobs - that's just incredible 
. And the best part? It'll lower energy bills for consumers by 40% compared to gas-fired power plants - talk about a win-win! 
. The auction results are well within the target range, and it's awesome to see the doubters proved wrong 
.
. It's amazing how the government is making huge strides towards a cleaner power system and it's not just about saving money, but also creating jobs for 7k people 
. I'm hoping that the momentum will keep going and we'll see even more renewable energy projects being built in the future 
. Now let's get the government to stick to its 2030 target and make sure we're powering our homes with clean energy by then 
!
I gotta say, this UK offshore wind subsidy auction is like a major win for the Brits! 
️ I've got sources close to the industry and they're telling me that if we keep up this pace, energy bills are gonna drop even further and it's only a matter of time before renewables surpass fossil fuels. But let's not get ahead of ourselves - there are still some kinks to work out with grid capacity and transmission costs 
Still, I'm optimistic about the UK's transition to cleaner power - these new jobs and investments are exactly what we need for a sustainable future
