The last week has seen some further extraordinary developments in Ed Miliband’s Net Zero agenda and his continuing divorce from material and political reality. While the Prime Minister is plagued by a seemingly unending series of scandals caused by his hypocrisy and impropriety, the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero has been summoning up unicorns with taxpayer’s cash.
Miliband’s team of unicorn hunters was convened this week and came up with quite a plan for ‘grid stabilisation’. As was reported by David Turver here back in August, Miliband and his new chief of Mission Control – the former Chief Exec of the Climate Change Committee, Chris Stark – wrote to National Grid ESO Director Fintan Slye, asking him for ideas on how to meet the new Government’s Clean Power 2030 target. In doing so, Stark and Miliband were admitting that they do not know what they’re doing and have no idea how to reach their political targets.
