Earlier this weekthe UK's Energy Secretary, swivel eyed Net Zero fanatic and bacon sandwich regurgitator extraordinaire Ed Miliband unveiled the Government’s new Clean Power Action Plan. Despite Minibrained claiming the plan would attract “£40 billion per year” of private investment, Mad Ed's hyperactive and arrogant performances on social and news media were made to look even more ridiculous because thy arrived in tandem with a dollop of bad news which his plan (and mainsteam media, has completely ignored.
This intransigence – the characteristic of all those claiming to be “climate champions” – combined with the very clear messages from physical and economic reality, amounts to a perfect storm. If the weather doesn’t kill us, Ed Miliband will.
The month began with Storm Darragh, showing us once more that the weather is neither our friend cannot be tamed,
regardless of what climate scientists' mathematical models say or whether global warming is influencing it or not. In the aftermath,
millions of UK households were left without power after winds of up to 90mph tore down
transmission lines. And as we all know (or ought to by now,) in winds of such strength wind turbines have to be turned off to prevent the nacelles overheating and catching fire and the hugely expensive and non - recycleable vanes being damaged.
Most symbolic of all when discussing theglobalist response to the alleged threat of climate change, the bad weather (for that is all it was) destroyed a new 50MW solar farm in Anglesey, North Wales. Yet Miliband’s plan involves intalling more solar panels and wind turbines and more pylons to ferry expensive, weather-dependent and weather-sensitive power around the country.
However last week was a very bad week for the Minister with the task of guaranteeling “Energy Security” for British business and domestic consumers.
Yesterday The Guardian reported that Ed Miliband has pledged to bring in “the most ambitious reforms to the country’s energy system in generations” as he presses ahead with plans to accelerate the development of onshore windfarms in England.
As Watts Up With That noted, even The Guardian is concerned about Miliband’s “renewable” energy plans. The Guardian said, “The plans come as low wind and solar power generation forced Britain to rely heavily on burning gas and wood pellets. As of Thursday, about 65% of Britain’s electricity was being generated from gas and biomass, with only 5.3% coming from wind.”
True and that wasn't even the worst of last week's windless days for the sustainable energy gang. As this screenshot from gridwatch.co.uk shows (if you enlarge it) on December 12 wind speeds were so low that at times we were only getting 2% of our energy from wind (the light blue bar) and a similar amount from solar (the yellow band just below wind.)

Now there is no argument that in suitable weather conditions wind can generate over 50% of our electricity use, but what happens on days like December 12 when Mad Milliband has closed all the gas fired power stations (the darker yellow bar representing the source of over 60% of our electricity as he has pledged to do by 2030. The greay bar at the top, BTW, is nuclear (10%), and Bonkers-in-the-Ed plans to close our remaining nukes too.
Earlier today, The Telegraph reported that
Miliband is plotting a massive expansion of solar voltaics. Data
suggests up to a billion solar panels will be fitted across Britain by
2035 under Miliband’s plan to hit his net zero target. FFS does the idiot not know this in Britain, a land not famous for endless sunshine.
“The Energy Secretary’s proposals will carpet the country with panels covering an estimated 750 sq miles, a bigger area than Greater London. Assuming the average solar panel is two square metres, this would mean as many as a billion are needed. Up to 5,000 wind turbines will also be built,” The Telegraph said.
Figures released by the Government on Friday showed that Middle England will be hit hardest by the solar blitz, with the most panels to be installed in an area stretching from Lincolnshire to South Wales plus the West Country, where Mr. Miliband’s plan envisages 200-300 square miles of solar panels.
For East Anglia and the South East, around London, up to 150 sq miles of panels would be needed.
Much of the expansion will be in the form of solar farms on English and Welsh farmland.

Is the war the UK government has declared on farmers (or pehaps for the sake of inclusivity we should just say the entire British population,) beginning to make sense?
Watts Up With That provided some home truths for the climate loonies:
Britain sites between 51° to 60° North. In winter, when people really need home heating, Britain receives around 7 hours (or less) of sunlight. Much of the time in winter the sky is overcast, sometimes whole months can go by when you barely see the Sun. The wind is also unreliable in winter – some of the coldest winter nights have no wind at all.
All of this should be obvious to anyone who has lived in Britain. If even places like sunny Australia can’t get solar and wind energy to work well enough to replace coal and gas, a nation as far North as Britain has no hope.
Even the Guardian is Concerned about Miliband’s Renewable Energy Plans, Watts Up With That, 14 December 2024
It must be obvious to anybody with more testicles or tits (as the case may be,) that trying to engage with Miliband and the rest of the green loons using science and reasoned argument to point out that the climate alarmism has no basis in fact is a complete waste of time , and the attempt to 'transition' our world to clean, green power has already failed because the chosen technologies, wind and solar, are just not up to the task. This isn’t because Minibrained and his cronies are thick, cretinous or mad as many of us have observed – it is because they are quasi - religious zealotzs carrying out orders received from a cabal of billionaire psychopaths with almost unlimited funds to spend in order to extract even more billions from British taxpayers as they work to implement their globalist, authoritarian agenda; doubtless his reward will far exceed the traditional thirty pieces of silver.
His determined indifference to the suffering and anxiety his policies are causing points to his being a sociopath, certainly, and the sooner he is removed from post – along with anyone similarly afflicted, which probably covers most of the government – the better.
MORE NET ZERO MADNESS:
Can Bus Sized Lithium Ion Batteries Power Britain
The project has, predictably, provoked local opposition. “This might become an industrial area more than the farming land it’s been for the last thousand years,” says Jamie Ingham Clark, of the Claydons Solar Action Group, “Battery storage sites should be on brownfield – they should not take away our ability to grow food.”
Net Zero Is A Dangerous Fantasy, But Scientists Believe In Fairies It Seems
With oil and gas prices rocketing and the highly propted sustainable energy sources performing way befow expectations the energy crisis currently gripping Europe (with worse to come as food shortages start to bite, polticians still seem more intent on pandering to the green lobby and chasing the dream of a fossil fuel free world rather securing the energy and food supplies needed by the people they serve.
New UN Report on Climate Change – Nothing New, Nothing True
The latest United Nations (“UN”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report, published this week, once again, in scaremongering tone and the language of the panic stricken, claims that the planet is in peril (we are facing climate disaster, the clock is at one minute to midnight, we must take urgent action to destroy civilisation if we are to save the planet, the usual over - dramatised guff designed to spread fear and panic,) basically the same claim as they have been making at least twice a month for the past 20 years.
We need energy security – not Net Zero
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West. We have suddenly found ourselves vulnerable not just to rising prices in oil and gas, but also to inflation in other commodities – such as food and fertiliser. Of all these problems, the security of our energy supply has most exercised minds.
Net Zero Gone With The Wind - Boris Johnson Plans Seven New Nuclear Plants And Shelves Wind Expansion
Reports in mainstream media suggest Boris Johnson has done a U turn on his recently announced massive expansion of wind powered generating capacity. Sources in Westminster claim Boris has shelved his masterplan for a giant, floating wind farm in The North Sea and the government will reconsider plans to double or even treble the number of wind turbines in the countryside and approve plans for up to seven new nuclear reactors instead.

Latest Bill Gates Insanity: Injecting Sulfur Into the Atmosphere Will Cause EnvironmentalDisaster
A study published in November by the University of Pennsylvania exposes the insanity of projects such as spraying particles of sulphur compounds into the stratosphere, self - anointed vaccime messiah Bill Gates' latest scheme to “save” the planet with "geoengineering" According to the mathematical modellers Gates pays hansomely to provide him with "scientific" data to persuade politicians to spend taxpayers money on projects run by companies his "charitable foundation" has invested in. Far from saving the planet this latest idiocy is actually destroying environments.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.
Debunked: The Great Renewable Green Delusion
The war in Ukraine has not caused the global energy crisis of early 2022 byt merely exacerbated it. Currently the nations currently in conflict with Russia over its incursion into Ukraine are those which are most dependent for their energy needs on Russian oil and gas. And now their loonytoons 'net zero' green energy policies have failed they are biting the hand that feeds them.
Western leaders, desperate to show their own countries they were taking a firm stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, were quick to impose economic sanctions ... so quick in fact that they acted before they had though things through. While freezing Russia out of the global finance system they have exacerbated the wests energy crisis, while Russia's retaliatory ban on raw materials (fertiliser) exports will create extra problems on top of those we already had ...
Has The Green Blob's War On Fossil Fuels Been Lost On The Battlefields Of Ukraine
With some energy sector opinion makers already pronouncing the 'net zero' agenda is already dead as oil and gas supplies from Russia dry up due to NATO / EU sanctions and Moscow's retaliatory export bans which have only been in force a week at the most, governments in the liberal democracies of Europe and North America are already talking about starting up redundant coal and nuclear power stations, the UK, Netherlands and other nations with offshore gas operations in the North Sea are suddenly finding that it may now be economically viable to start pumping again and (whisper it ever so quietly,) coal is coming back into the reckoning as an energy source ...

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero?
BBC wildlife documentary presenter Chris Packham has hit back at claims reported on Neil Oliver‘s GB News show that half the world’s population could die if Net Zero was implemented in full. This is a bit hypocritical of Packham, who has been claiming millions will die because of climate change caused by human activity for decades.
EU Technocrats Plan To Shut Down European Agricultural Industry
European farmers will gather in Brussels on Tuesday to demand guarantees from the EU Commission that changes to policy will be made to ensure the European agricultural sector remains viable. They will also demand a relaxation of the regulatory regime, and for Brussels to abandon free trade agreements with countries outside the EU, which are now being used to bring cheap into European markets
Globalists Say Climate Change Is A Threat To Democracy But The Real Threat Is Globalism
While most of the large economies in European are backing off their pledges on 'net zero', over in the USA, even as the public reject the scaremongering of climate alarmists, the increasingly crazy Biden administration are still trying to push this de-industrialisation agenda without without any apparent concern for public opinion or for the misery and impoverishment The Childsniffer's regime is inflicting on many Americans.
Tractors Are Heading For Central London As UK Farmers Protest
Scores of farm tractors from all over Britain were reported to be converging on Westminster as British farmers finally ran out of patience and pushed back against what they say is a lack of government support. Flying Union flags and displaying signs with slogan such as 'Save British farming' and 'No farming, no food, no future' they were gathering in London and plan to arrive in central London by early evening
Germany Running Out Of Money, Debt Levels Exploding - The Price Of War, Open Borders And Net Zero?
An urgent warning about the state of Germany's finances has been given by Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Lindner has bluntly told the government that state borrowing are growing out of hand, and the government urgently needs to reduce spending. The other coalition members, the Social Democrats, and The Greens are both spendthrift lefties so dispute over spending is only expected to escalate
UK Gov. Fossil Fuels U Turn Means Its All Over For Net Zero
The Announcement made by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged at last that to keep the lights and heating on in our homes and the wheels of industry turning it will be necessary to start building new gas-fired power plants because the great science backed leap to transition energy productions to clean, green, pollution free, sustainable, renewable, blah blah blah sources has failed dismally.

Irish farmers protest plans to cull livestock to meet climate targets
Farmers in Ireland are protesting government proposals to cull livestock — including up to 200,000 cows — in an effort to meet national and European Union (EU) climate targets.
According to Ireland’s Independent, up to 65,000 dairy cows and 10% of the livestock herd would have to be removed from the national herd every year for three years at a cost of €200m ($215.2 million) if the farming sector is to “meet its climate targets.”
