This is hugeee in the UK that mean King Charles can allow his carbon credits to be donated to worthy customers in UK energy crisis that really about this is hugeeee Never ever monarch did in the UK we talking 1,000 years folks The British monarch has asked for profits worth 1 billion pounds from his windfarms to be used to address the cost of living crisis rather than the activities of the royal family. Britain's King Charles III has requested that the annual profits from his windfarm deal be directed towards helping the cost-of-living crisis in the UK rather than support the royal family, the Crown Estate confirmed Thursday. Under Charles, who has spoken publicly of a desire to combat climate change, the Crown Estate signed lease agreements for 6 offshore windfarms. In 2022, the annual profits totaled some 1 billion pounds ($1.2 million). The king has asked that this money be redistributed to the public. The deal also significantly expands the prevalance of wind power in the UK, with the government claiming that the new windfarms will power 7 million homes by 2030. In his first Christmas speech, the king touched on how the country's was experiencing some of its toughest economic times since the 1980s. He praised people who "support those around them in greatest need, together with the many charitable organizations which do such extraordinary work in the most difficult circumstances.'' www.dw.com/en/king-charles-asks-for-crown-estate-profit-to-go-to-public/a-64454357
