We Must Hope Mad Ed's Move To The Foreign Office Will Mean The End Of UK Governmednt's Net Zero Obsession

by Arthur Foxake, 23 July 2026: 

A decade ago, the leaders of the UK's three main political parties, David Cameron (Conservative), Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) and Ed Miliband (Labour) signed a pledge that effectively moved the issue of climate and energy policy out of the democratic process.

Although it was not yet enshrined in law, this agreement opened the way for Theresa May to set the Net Zero target in 2019. We were quickly followed down the road to economic disaster by the EU which implemented restrictive laws on climate, energy security and farming. By 2021, our envoy to COP26, Alok Sharma was gleefully blowing up coal-fired power stations and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was boasting of aligning £130 trillion of the world’s financial assets with the Paris Agreement climate goals, or what we might now see as western economic suicide. 

Worse, people well qualified to criticise the crap science behind net zero were cancellled, hounded out of their jobs abd profesions and destroyed if the deviated from the official line on net zero. Fast forward to 2024 and Reform based their General Election campaign on a platform of ditching Net Stupid Zero. The pushback towards common sense did not stop there, earlier this year the current Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, signalled that the Tories no longer believed Net Zero was achievable by 2050. 

The number of journalists writing about the follies of Net Zero and UK energy policy grown (from almost net xero,) nd scientists were no longer being cancelled for expressing scepticism about the reliability of mathematical models on which the whole climate change case is built. The Net Zero juggernaut no longer looked impregnable, cracks were beginning to appear but progress was slow. Towards the end of 2025 however, Ms Badenoch announced that the Conservative Party plans to repeal the Climate Change Act, which underpins all the Net Zero nonsense.

They have also committed to abolish the Climate Change Committee. And now Mad Ed Milliband, the swivel eyed fanatic who had emerged as leader of the Net Zero cult after being deposed as Labour leader, and in 2024 had become Secretary for Energy and Net Zero in a newly elected Labour government under the hapless Keir Starmer, has been moved to another department in government and the Labour government under a new leader (Andy Burnham,) and with a new, more sane Energy Secretary seem to be embracing the Drill Baby Drill approach to energy secuity. 

In the USA Donald Trump, elected for a second term much to the disgust of lefties and progressives, revered many of the net zero policied of the previous deomcrat aministration and EU member states becant to rebel over draconian measures to force adoption of net zero policies as the disintegration of the climate catastrophe hoax gained momentum.

It is interesting that this change of heart has come from people who have largely never had to wonder about the engineering marvels that had tooccur behind the scenes to ensure the lights stayed on when they turned on their cookers. Perhaps the blackout in Spain and Portugal earlier this year has focused minds on the dangers of too many intermittent renewables on the grid.

We can now, with our national grid under extreme stress on low wind days and imports of electricity vial undersea cables from France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway regularly running at between 20%vand 30% of total UK demans, see that the empty rhetoric of the “Saudi Arabia of Wind” and “Green Energy Superpower” was the triumph of narrative over numbers and optics over substance. These people in wonk-land never had to worry about choosing between heating or eating; were not concerned about increasing energy debt and were totally at ease as heavy industry collapsed. They are ignorant of maths; the closest they have ever come to imaginary numbers is the increasingly implausible cost estimates from the CCC. They are also ignorant of economics as they clapped like seals at the “nine times cheaper than gas” mantra. We should welcome their Damascene conversion but be cautious that their new message might be just as fickle as the old.

As the case for Net Zero crumbles more with every missile fired across the Strait of Hormuz and Kemi’s Conservatives become more scetical of climare science every day Ed Miliband’s claim that Nigel Farage and Reform are “investment crushing, job destroying, bill raising, poverty driving, science denying, Putin appeasing, young people betraying bunch of ideological extremists”. Ironically this description is a far better fit on Ed's fanatical Climate Catastrophe cultists.

I think this is what psychologists call projection. Miliband is accusing his opponents of wanting to do the very same things he is already doing himself. Jim Ratcliff’s INEOS has ended all UK investment because of Net Zero policies pushing up taxes onNorth Sea oil and gas and expensive energy prices. This, of course, destroys jobs too. Miliband is pushing up bills by pressing ahead with Allocation Round 7, extending contracts to 20 years and offering prices that are much more expensive than gas-fired generation, and of course high bills drive poverty. Miliband denies the physics of intermittent renewables and seems totally unaware of the laws of thermodynamics.

Net Zero is not achievable without the huge amounts of copper needed for the cabling, grid equipment, motors, machines, appliances, etc for an all-electric economy/society Worldwide.

Copper needs copper ore and it is estimated that near 700 million tons of ore would be required over the next twenty years – about the same amount mined to date since copper was first invented as a resource by Man.

The biggest indicator in the market place is price – it tells among other things the relationship between supply and demand.

Were Net Zero achievable and on-course, the demand for things made with copper, thus copper, thus copper ore would be huge, and prices of ore would be climbing exponentially.

But that is not the case. In fact ore prices have been easing, showing that supply and demand are about balanced.

Price says, no Net Zero.

This was completely foreseeable. The only way to achieve anything close to “net zero” is to impoverish the British people. The only way people will accept being impoverished is if the government becomes tyrannical.We are talking about real impoverishment here, not just one fewer holiday per year and a smaller car. New Zero would rationing and surveillance at levels worse than those during the Second World War.

All of this should have been foreseen by our political leaders, scientists and opinion shapers and by by anyone with an IQ higher than the average brigk.

Since the people who lead us, the scientists who advise them and the propagandists who shape opinion have IQ's far higher than the average individual (allegedly,) we can only assume that they put personal and class interests ahead of the interests of the British people.

The UK establishment cares about its own power and influence, not just in Britain but around the world. It will sacrifice whoever it needs to sacrifice in order to maintain that power and influence, as it has always done.

Climate change policy has been led by the UK in alliance with the part of the US establishment that it has historically had influence over.

It’s a con job the sole purpose of which has been to try to neutralise the power and influence that oil and gas confers to the nations that have it. Our establishment used to control the oil and gas in the world and have fought hard over the decades to maintain that control. When it was no longer possible, they came up with climate change.

They literally couldn’t care less who they impoverished in the process. UK establishment figures think that those in the population that don’tagree with their ideas – NetZero, mass immigration.- are ignorant scum. They pretty much say it openly when the've had a few beers or done a line or two.

COP 30 Climate Conference - A Celebration Of The Triumph Of Sactimony Over Sanity

 

 

The annual United Nations climate summit, COP30, got under way this week in Belém, Brazil, deep in the Amazon rainforest. One of the goals of this tears conference is to persuade atttending nations to agree strict limits on deforestation, an activity which is endangering the planet the organisers claim. Ironic that, because in norder to create a purpose built resort near Belem Brazil's Amazon jungle and make it accessible from the nearest civilised area, over 100,000 trees were cut down, a tarmac road and numerous auditorium, conference rooms hotels and brothels were built.

The best hope for some kind of sanity to energe from this year's jamboree of private jet owning types (1500 such aircraft will fly to Brazil, where their occupants will disembark to lecture us about the sacrifices WE THE PEOPLE must make to save the planet,) is that sceptics attending the conference to challenge this globalist agenda can build on the momentum begun by  President Trump’s bold withdrawal from the IPCC and Paris Agreement on climate catastrophe by rallying other nations to follow suit and cease wasting taxpayers money on futile 'Net Zero' fantasies, thud derailing the UN’s expensive, dictatorial climate agenda once and for all.

Throughout the summer of 2025 mainstream media has hyped COP30 as “one of the most consequential climate summits in a decade.” It could prove even more historic.,for the first time since the U.S.A, the worlds largest and most powerful economy by a long way, signed the 1992 Rio Earth Summit treaty, there will be no official U.S. delegation present.

As ever with the annual United Nations climate change conference, hypocrisy is self-evident. COP30’s core themes are ‘preserving forests and biodiversity’ and ‘climate justice’   but to stage the event an eight-mile highway has been cut through the rainforest so that 50,000 true believers can be driven from the airport to the venue. Others such as the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir Starmer will no doubt use helicopters having flown by private jet to Belém airport.

In his 2023 inaugural speech, Brazil’s Marxist President Lula said: ‘Our goal is to achieve zero deforestation in the Amazon,’ and yet this highway was built and the conference centre commissioned by his administration. While Brazil calls it ‘sustainable infrastructure’ with wildlife crossings and solar lighting, environmental scientists call it ‘ecological destruction disguised as conference logistics’.

This highway represents perhaps the most visually striking symbol of climate hypocrisy in modern history: destroying the ‘lungs of the Earth’ to host a conference about saving the planet. Every delegate will drive over cleared Amazon rainforest to attend discussions about preventing deforestation.

The Climate Scam is particularly expert at hypocritical virtue, while leaving out most of the truth. The parts that elevate the virtue are promoted and the parts that would reveal the double standards that are the modus operandi of the globalist elite are simply not spoken about.  Classic examples are the technologies that are supposed to save the world, wind and solar energy. It will never be mentioned and in fact it is actually hidden in official communications and by mainstream media that Lithium mining devastates landscapes and destroys  poor communities. 

 Solar panels are produced in manufacturing situations that violate all of the human rights the UN preach down to us about, primarily that workers are effectively slaves rather than free employess. We never hear of the massive infrastructure the land intensive turbines require, or about their short lifespan and problems with disposal. None of the many failures and shortcomings of Net Zero policies are mentioned by mainstream media. All we hear is the “wind is free and clean”.

A Protective Shield is thrown around Climate Change “Science” and Politics. It wears a cloak of goodness, and anyone daring to say “ayup lads, hold on a minute,” is accused of being a 'far right conspiracy theorist or a 'climate denier.'. 

The reality of intermittent energy production (that backup generators have to be kept running, their output going down to earth, in casse of suddent drops in wind speed or changes in cloud cover,) is ignored and instead we get slogans and press releases, emotional and moral language and certainty where there is NONE. Every failure of their globalist power grab conferences masquerading as climate ones becomes proof that there must be ever more urgency “before it is too late”. 

This is not how science operates, it is how Politics and Narrative Management works.

But eventually all scams face a reckoning. This one however is so entrenched that people no longer ask where it came from. They have become adjusted to living within a “climate crisis” but holes are appearing. Astronomical energy prices, Industries collapsing, food shortages, the industrial rise of China which ignores agreements on emissions, tramples on human rights and laughs at fair trade agreements. But all the time realisation is growing that we have been conned.

Scottish Wind Farm Paid More For Not Supplying Energy Than For Energy It Feeds Into The National Grid.

 

A story which broke this week in mainstream media revealed a British wind farm owned by France’s state energy company is being paid to throw away half the power it generates. The Dorenell onshore wind farm in Scotland, owned by EDF, had 50pc of its output “curtailed” in 2024 because the UK’s national grid was too congested to accept it.

However the project was still paid for the electricity that wasn’t used, leading to revenues of nearly £68m in the year, newly published accounts show. This has long been one of the complaints of 'clean green energy' sceptics. Beacuse of the intermittent nature of 'sustainable' energy sources the potential output of all wind farms must far exceed the highest levels of demand. Thus when conditions are favourable some wind generators must be decoupled from the national grid in order that the transformers and load balancing equipment will not be overwhelmed and fail. This is exactly what happened in Spain earlier this year, when grid equipment wrecked by overloads failed, causing a blaxkout lasting several days over a large part of the country.

Around £40m of the revenue earned for EDF by the Dornell wind farm last year came from payments to curtail its output, according to separate disclosures made by EDF in a court dispute.

The payments, which are ultimately incorporated in the cost of electricity to households and businesses, are an example of the grid balancing costs that were blamed this week for driving up domestic energy bills.

Ofgem, the industry regulator, said these types of costs were responsible for around £15 of a £35 increase to the energy price cap due to take effect in October, and dealt a major blow to Ed Miliband’s promise to lower bills by £300 per year and prompted questions about the hugely generous government subsidies handed to wind farms.

Constraint payments occur because most of Britain’s wind farms are located in Scotland and often generate far more electricity than can be used locally.

At the same time, the power network lacks capacity to store all the excess power or to transport it south, where most demand is located. This means grid operators often resort to curtailing the output of wind farms to keep the system balanced.

Renewable subsidies also incentivise wind farms to try to export power. In Dorenell’s case, accounts show the onshore wind farm was paid for 591,164 megawatt hours (MWh) of power in 2024. Only 297,137 MWh of this was actually exported – suggesting 294,027 MWh, or 49pc, was curtailed.

The wind farm has a CfD with an inflation-linked strike price of £82.50 per MWh in 2012 prices, worth about £112 per MWh in current prices.

Sam Taylor, who runs Scottish based UK Unionis think tank These Islands, said the huge amount of curtailment meant Dorenell was effectively paid £227 per MWh for the electricity it actually supplied to the grid last year.

If you're thinking the whole things sounds like economic insanity, you are not the only one,.in what way can being paid not to produce ever be justifiable? Producing to squeeze the proverbial quart into the pint pot was a nonsensical decision at the planning stage driven by dogma rather than need. Dishonesty is the least of it, basic IQ is lacking, verging on malpractice in government which can only by rectified by undoing of these bankrupting policies and payments and the removal of those in charge of this mess, from PM down.

Renewable energy should be self supporting, the subsidies we paying are basically another form of taxation to implement a policy that is looking increasingly unrealistic and imposdible to implement. There is little point in the UK reducing its C02 emissions beyond the 50% we have already achieved when globally these emissions have risen by 60% since we enacted the Climate Change Act.

The necessary changes to the grid and infrastructure to accommodate renewables are forecast to peak at £ 8 billion per year by 2030. We are being lied to and our energy bills will keep increasing, estroying in the process more British businesses and jobs as we become less and less able to compete in world markets

UK Dumps Climate Madhouse Project To Harvest Sun And Wind Energy In The Sahara

 

 

It comes as little surprise that yet another grandiose techno-utopian vision has ended not with a triumphant march toward Net Zero, but with a flick of the off-switch. Last week, Britain’s energy secretary quietly announced that the government “has pulled the plug on a £24 billion plan to bring Moroccan wind and solar power to Britain via the world’s longest subsea electricity cable, citing concerns over security and costs” . In other words, after years of hype, headline-grabbing simulations and talk of “reliable clean power for 19 hours a day,” the reality of risk and expense finally intruded—and the dream of Sahara sun for all has been consigned to the scrapheap.

The scheme, championed by Xlinks and backed by big-name investors from Abu Dhabi’s Taqa to TotalEnergies, was unveiled in 2022 with a headline price tag of £16 billion. By the time official talks fizzled, project costs had ballooned to between £22 billion and £24 billion—and the fixed, subsidised price for UK consumers had climbed from a promising £48/MWh in 2012 terms to a sobering £70-80/MWh, on par with Hinkley Point C’s notorious £92.50/MWh deal from a decade ago . It was a textbook illustration of how techno-optimism meets political reality: grand ambitions crashing headlong into the twin walls of finance and geopolitics.

Perhaps the most telling line came when officials admitted this “first-of-a-kind mega project” carried “a high level of inherent, cumulative risk, delivery, operational, and security.” In plainer terms, nobody quite trusted a 3,800-mile subsea cable stretching from the Sahara to Devon to keep the lights on—or to fend off hostile actors, accidental damage or simple technical failure . For all the talk of homegrown power, the reality was a foreign-built supergrid running through disputed waters, vulnerable to every storm, saboteur or bureaucratic blunder.

And yet just a few years ago, this venture was presented as the ultimate win-win: millions of desert acres covered in solar panels and wind turbines, exporting 3.6 GW of “reliable” energy to 7 million homes and displacing imported gas.

The initial delivery method proposed in this projects for energy collected in Morocco to be delivered to homes and businesses in UK was by undersea cable but this was found to be unfeasible in avery imaginable way, cost, technical difficuty, security, politics etc. and an alteenative proposal to transport the cuurent via the national grids of France and Spain put forward.

How many of you spotted that yes,  this is the same Spain where only a few weeks ago the entire 70% solar/wind supplied grid  shut down due to power overload which because a surge of current flowing into the grid as both wind and solar generators experiences perfect conditions simultaneously while insufficient grid inertia destsbilised frequency? Spain's high capacity undersea Moroccan Inreconnector could do nothing to save the situation.

(Note: the problem isn’t lack of supply, it’s lack of inertia only available from spinning generation. Since this means the majority of supply must be spinning generation, the alleged aim of wind/solar – battling the evil devil Siotu – cannot be achieved and its expense not warranted.)

And spread that frequency failure to part of southern France via an interconnector causing power cuts there, to the evident delight of the French. Are interconnectors une bonne idée? L’ on y pense.

Long distance interconnectors are usually DC and can provide no inertia. The French/Spain one is short distance AC which is why Spain was able to export its frequency chaos.

Without mostly spinning generation, grids are inherently unstable and at constant risk of failure from frequency instability which can be caused by a variety of factors.This is why for all the hysterical claims of the UK's green lobby that on a breezy, sunny day, renewables are generating up to 70% of our electricity is such a joke. In order to provide the necessary inertia to smooth out sudded fluctuations in current that are a feature of ;gren' technologies, we have to keep gas power stations running twenty four hours a  day and pay the operators to let the otput go down to earth.

Spain exports to France and France exports to England – but this is not dispatchsble. It is heavily dependent on whether Spain and France have spare capacity available on demand. It overlooks the other energy self-harming Country Germany which relies heavily on France and Norway when dunkelflautes are about… often in Winter. Norway is threatening to restrict supplies via interconnector as extra-territorial demand is forcing prices up to – unhappy – Norwegian consumers. France meanwhile is faced with replacing its fleet of aged 59 nuclear reactors, of which recently 26 were out if action for repair/maintenance a few months ago and France had no spare juice, struggling to,meet its own requirements.

Oh – and then there’s energy loss. The further electricity travels the less comes out the other end. So by the time it arrives in England, consumersd might get might get enoough juice on \ winter's morning to boil a small kettle for a cup of tea. So long was they don't switch on the low wattage light at the same time.

But back to the sheer wrong - headedness of the Sahara project. 

Consider that you can’t build stable turbines or panels on shifting sands and that the sands of the Sahara Run an average depth of 500′ then consider the deepest “Moving Dunes” can be 1000′ deep, you will need some gargantuan turbine masts and deeply excavated turbine footings (down to bedrock) to place turbines “Just anywhere” in the Sahara. Same for Solar Panels, their bases would also need to be set deep to “Not be Disturbed” by Saharan shifting sands. 

As as some readers will know the Sahara is not all sand dunes,it would be equally difficult to put wind turbines or solar farms on Gravel plains or salt flats either. The gravel would still need to be excavated to a stable surface and the salt would prove corrosive to panel supports. So that leaves the rocky Mesa areas and I’m not sure how much of a problem the stone might pose as foundation footing installations.

And on top of all that, the first desert sand storm would knock out every solar panel caught in its pash. Sand blasted panels become opaque and thus the light is diffused before it hits the photo - voltaic cells. 

There is an kind of joy to be obtained from witnessing this particular techno-dream deflate. It reminds us that even the most elaborate green schemes are only as sound as their financial footings and, adherednce ti the laws of physics and geopolitical practicalities. When those are not taken into account, the utopian narrative gives way to something far more earthy: the simple recognition that expensive, complex, and foreign-dependent projects rarely survive contact with reality.

UK Government's U-turn On Nuclear Power Prompted By Public Backlash To Net Zero

 

 

In  UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s confirmation earlier this week that the Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station will go ahead, we see a welcome if belated recognition among the green loons of the Labour government that renewables alone will not provide reliable, round the clock power 365 dats a year. 

The same logic underpins the  commitmentd announced on Wednesday, to create, in partnership with Rolls Royce, a generation of small, modular reactors (SMRs). Britain’s extraordinarily high energy prices —  due in no small part to our rushed and ill thought out effort to switch to a 100% Carbon free economy by tomorrow luchtime or some such ludicrous target — has made Net Zero the most expensive and damaging failure in the UK government's history of expensive and damaging failures.. These investments in nuclear power, expensive though they might be, are unequivocally preferable to our current situation which currently see us importing, at great cost, around a fifth of the electricity we use via undersea cables from Europre.

Our foolhardy attempt to reach Net Zero status by 2050 had failed before it began because the scientists who advised the government forgot that the wind does not blow constantly and the sun does not shine overnight. If we do not make better use of nuclear fission, we will experience frequent blackouts and energy rationing.

In April, Tony Blair warned that the Net Zero push was, in its current form, “doomed to fail”. Voters, he said, “feel they’re being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know the impact on global emissions is minimal”.  Blair’s research institute called for acceptance of the temporary use of fossil fuels, and for the deployment of carbon-capture and other mitigation measures  as well as for the use of SMRs. 

The truth is that the much hyped transition to clean green energy is only a portion of the global energy story. We have heard ad nauseam about the growth of solar photovoltaics and batteries. We hear less about the fact that coal, declared dead by Boris Johnson at COP 26 in 2021, is generating electricity at record levels globally. Chinese coal mine production reached record highs in late 2024 and the Peoples' Republic is opening a new, coal fired power station per week to power the factories that make the goods we once made in this country

Coal may have fallen from the dominant position it held a few decades ago but has been replaced by another hydrocarbon, natural gas. Japanese banks and corporations, at the government’s behest, have been among the largest funders of liquified natural gas infrastructure. In terms of final energy consumption, we are the same fossil fuel civilisation we were at the start of the millennium.

Faced with a growing public backlash over the rising price of 'cheap,clean electricity, advocates of Net Zero argue that fossil fuels set the day-ahead price of electricity 98% of the time, compared to 58% of the time in Europe, and that this is the main thing pushing up bills.

This falsely implies that intermittent generators like wind and solar are setting prices on the continent. Even in Denmark, where wind is over 50% of the generation, intermittents do not set prices, because they are never meeting all demand. Instead, prices are often set by reliable hydroelectric and nuclear plants, assets Britain does not have in abundance. When factoring in subsidies, renewable prices are usually higher than those for gas. Gas wholesale prices have also been increased artificially by the cost of buying carbon credits, which consistently represent over 20% of gas wholesale prices. 

Annual gas consumption in the UK is about 2.5 trillion cubic feet (tcf). The Andrews report (2013) estimated a total gas-in-place estimate for the Bowland Shale Formation and Hodder Mudstone Formation between 822 and 2281 tcf. Since then, other estimates have suggested the total gas-in-place volume could be considerably less (around 140 tcf; Whitelaw et al., 2019).That the estimate dropped around 90% in 2019 when the Tories banned land based gas exploration which would have established how much gas could be extracted looks suspiciouis to say the least. But even the lower 140 tcf estimate could be decades of gas usage.

Net zero is an absolute farce. Some people and their businesses are quite clearly making an absolute killing out of it Renewable energy doesn’t work. It’s killing businesses big and small. But hey if your political class is made up of graduates who have never run businesses this is what you get. Virtue signalling, posturing wankers meddling in everything and creating ten problems for each one they solve.

I thought the conservatives were bad. But this incarnation of the Labour Party really takes some beating. Would any sane person really place their future energy needs in the hands of Ed Milliband? Really?!

Net Zero is destroying the economy but a far bigger disaster is the loss of trust in government.

After lockdown, Wuhan denial, gender madness and now net zero what will happen if there really is a need for public commitment ? It isn’t going to happen.

Who is going to make the slightest sacrifice in the public interest based upon politicians’ pronouncements ? Nobody.

Green Power Has Failed Miserably - Why Are Western Governments And Academics Still Pushing It?

 For t,he past twenty years at least governments have been throwing so much money at green power policies that businesses and financiers  have has to play the game.

In spite of this puch and all the propaganda about the science being settled (although it wasn't) by 2023 we found ourselves with EV sales shrinking, and inventories at dealers at astronomical levels so much so that fields are being rented to store the excess.

And the disenchantment with 'The Green New Deal' did not stop there. In January this year  Orsted, the Danish wind farm ‘pioneer’ reported that its stock market valuation had fallen which has fallen some 76 per cent since its peak in 2021 and the company was imposing a total halt to investment in new offshore wid farm projects. Or Albemarle group – a lithium producer and supplier of raw materials to EV battery makers – down over 80 per cent in the same time span. Global car and goods vehicle rental company Hertz replaced its entire fleet with EVs and is now facing Chapter 11 bankruptcy?. And what about oil and gas giants Shell and BP,both of which only a few years ago ere claiing bragging rights about how much they were investing in green power as they began divest oil and gas assets in preparation for Net Zero. Shell was practically forced to sell now far more valuable proven finds in the Permian Basin to ConocoPhillips for a song just under three years ago.

All of this is OUR money (yes yours and mine because the costs go right onto what we pay for fuel and electricity,) and it is being channelled into dead-end investments and will certainly have an impact via lower pension payouts in years to come, creating future economic problems for the developed nations.

Yet our government and attendant bodies such the Pension Regulator (UK, substitute whatever organisation fulfills this role in your country,) – are still urging our pension funds to throw good money after bad by investing in technologies that simply do not work. Indeed, all over the northern hemisphere non-compliance with green policies will can result in significant penalties.

Not only are we directly subsidising renewables and EVs, driving up transport and energy costs all in pursuit of the unattainablr, but we are also losing our prosperity in terrible investments.

The number one problem with almost every discussion of "green" technology and greenhouse gases is the failure to challenge the falsehood that "carbon is a pollutant". Should we achieve true Net Zero the consequences for life on earth would disastrous. Far from being a polluting gas, CO2 is essential to the continuation of life on this planet. And on that point the science really is settled.

The CO2 pollution lie has been repeated so often that nobody notices that it is untrue. CO2 is plant food, and an increase from the present 0.04% even as high as 0.1% would enormously benefit food production. While CO2 does have some greenhouse gas effect, it's influence has passed the peak, and any increase from today's levels will have a negligible additional effect. Given that the planet is still in the mini ice age, and colder than the Medieval Warm Period and Roman times, a bit more heat would be nice.

By far the biggest greenhouse effect comes from water vapour. As primary school children used to be taught, a clear sky at night means that frost is likely while a cloudy sky at night means that frost is less likely, unless brought by a cold wind. Which is why night frost can occur in Britain in May, and also in the Sahara Desert.

From a simple engineering viewpoint, hydrocarbon fuels are by far the most appropriate sources of energy for most of the needs of our technology. For example, methane is the ideal form of hydrogen for many heating applications. Liquid hydrocarbons are the fuel most suited for mobile applications such as personal and freight transport - cars and lorries.

Electricity is well suited to trains, given the fixed track and overhead cable or third rail systems. But North Sea gas (or fracking the gas under Lincolnshire) as the main source of electricity would substantially cut the costs to the railways, homes and industry if properly priced instead of the present distortions.

But while China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and other emerging economies forge ahead with new industrial developments fuelled by gas, oil and coal our governments, influenced by intellectual idiots who have spent all their working lives faffing about in universities and have net zero experience of real business or real life are pushing us along a path of deindustrialisation, destroying national economies, jobs and prosperity.

As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

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.
