I wasn't aware that the time period for investment return was so short.
If so, why the denial of evidence in the Labour hierarchy? Biden, in the US, has invested hundreds of billions in green tech. The EU has also followed suit. Are they hoping that the private sector will ride to the rescue with suitable financial guarantees? If so, then yet again the taxpayer will be on the hook for 'rent'.

Yep, and the savings on capital investment overwhelm the spending in just 15 years.
Weirdly transport seems to have the best spend:saving ratio, while electricity doesn’t pay back as much as is spent (although this was done before the price of solar was dropping significantly below forecasts presumed).
