Similarly, environmentalists boast that households in the United Kingdom have reduced their electricity consumption by almost 10% since 2005. But they neglect to mention that this reflects a 50% increase in electricity prices, mostly to pay for an increase in the share of renewables from 1.8% to 4.6%.
同样，环保主义者夸口说英国家庭自2005年后已经降低了近10%的电力消耗。但他们却忘了提到这是因为电价上涨50%，而涨幅的绝大部分都是从1.8%增长到4.6%的可再生能源造成的。
