The Government’s plans to force Britain to achieve ‘Net Zero’ CO2 emissions by 2050 seem to be falling apart. Few people seem interested in buying expensive, range-limited electric vehicles. Even fewer want to replace their cheap efficient gas boilers with expensive and poor-performing heat pumps. Offshore windfarms were a key part of our Government’s ‘Net Zero’ decarbonisation plans, yet there were no companies bidding for the recent group of offshore windfarm contracts. And our rulers seem unable to make up their minds about which technology to choose for Britain’s new generation of SMRs (small modular nuclear reactors) even though Rolls Royce has already developed a version which can work in the hostile underwater operating environment of nuclear-powered submarines and so could be quickly and inexpensively adapted for use on dry land.
However, having realised that it cannot provide sufficient electricity to power Britain as a supposed ‘renewable energy superpower’, the Government has come up with a brilliant solution – force us to use much less electricity.
I recently wrote an article for the Daily Sceptic explaining some of the more worrying aspects of the Energy Bill currently approved by a massive majority in the Commons and likely to be enthusiastically passed with a similar massive majority in the Lords.
In my article I quoted several sections from the Energy Bill. However, as these were written in almost incomprehensible legalese, I though it might be useful to describe three common scenarios which will arise once the Energy Bill has become law.
First, there is the replacement of existing electricity and gas meters. Our electricity and gas meters have a registered lifetime of anywhere between 10 and 25 years depending on the type of meter. Once a meter’s lifetime has expired, it should be replaced. Under the terms of the Energy Bill, someone from your power supplier will have the right to enter your home to replace your current meter with a smart meter. If you refuse him entry or try to refuse having a smart meter installed, he can legally return with police back-up, force entry into your home and use what is called “reasonable force” to restrain you while he rips out your old-fashioned meter and replaces it with a smart meter. “Reasonable force” might just mean handcuffing you during the installation or could even mean detaining you in a cell at the local police station while your meters are changed.
Second, there is what happens when you wish to rent or sell your home or another property. It seems likely that we will be banned from renting out or selling any residential property unless it has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of ‘C’ or above. Currently there are just over one million home sales a year in Britain. Of these home sales, around 41% have an EPC rating of ‘C’ or above. This means that under the terms of the Energy Bill, over 590,000 homes a year would have to have alterations made to improve their EPC rating before they could be rented out or sold. These alterations could range from just installing double glazing or adding a little loft or wall insulation to spending tens of thousands of pounds installing a heat pump which would include replacing all the pipes and radiators in a home and could even require ripping up carpets and floors to install underfloor heating.
Third, there are what are known as Energy Saving Opportunity Schemes (ESOS), where “opportunity” has a distinctly Orwellian flavour. With ever more homes having smart meters, energy suppliers will be able to identify towns, neighbourhoods, streets and even individual homes which Government ‘experts’ consider to be using too much electricity. The Energy Bill introduces ESOSs, which would give the legal right for energy inspectors to enter any home, using “reasonable force” if necessary, in order to make an energy-saving assessment and propose ways the homeowner could improve the property’s energy efficiency.
In all three of the above three scenarios, refusal by the homeowner to comply with the Government’s requirements would be a criminal offence with penalties of fines of up to £15,000 and imprisonment of up to one year. That a supposedly “Conservative” Government would use its parliamentary majority to introduce such intrusive and oppressive eco-totalitarianism is something that few of us would have imagined possible.

I hope and wish our membership grows over the next few months and that DS becomes rightfully stronger, a light in the darkness.
To all DS members, especially the vets
, thanks for being here, thanks for hanging on and I hope you have a great couple of days.
There are truly great people posting on here and many thanks to you all.
Have a great Christmas.
Seconded. Lots of progress in bringing the truth to the world, but a long way to go. Rest and enjoy before the mission continues. Cheers to all.!
Thanks Neil.
Lovely post hux, and a merry Xmas to you and all of the respectful people who keep the comments sections alive.
I do actually celebrate Xmas but got up obscenely early and now the cat is having her fun with all the torn wrapping paper. Coffee!! lol
Thank you Mogs.
Well said, HP – I second that emotion.
Thanks Michael.
Cheers Hux. Stay the way you are, there aren’t enough like you.
Thank you very much Marcus.
You are much appreciated on here Aethelred
Thanks.
The story about the UK and Moderna partnership is worrying confirmation that this mRNA crud is never going away and they will for sure be manufacturing further plandemics in order to create demand. And isn’t the WHO meant to have planned for 10 years of pandemics? But I’m sure that’s another coincidence..
”Developing vaccines on UK shores means it will be able to scale up production rapidly in the event of a health emergency, significantly boosting our ability to respond to future pandemics.”
What I’m wondering though is how many suckers will eagerly roll up at the next whiff of a scamdemic next time around. You can fool people once, but time and again? Doubtful.
It is indeed shocking that mRNA vaccines are the technology they have latched on to in order to move to a digital computerised health system and they are determined that nothing is going to derail this sinister ideological plan.
If they can make this digital mRNA health approach work it will mean continual injections for all and shed loads of money for them. The prize is so huge they are not going to give up easily.
Here’s John Campbell’s thoughts on the whole thing. It’s what you say and obviously profit but I maintain the depopulation theory cannot be dismissed. If studies are now showing the genetic code can be reverse transcribed into human cells, and we’ve seen from biodistribution data that the LNPs concentrate in ovaries, just what assurance is there that this won’t have an affect on the reproductive potential of the next generation? And that’s before we mention all of the worrying data on women’s reproductive issues post-vax, low sperm counts/mobility, low birth rates, increased stillbirths and miscarriages. It’s the experts in these related fields, such as Dr Thorpe, who are sounding the alarm as they’re seeing it first-hand, but are being studiously ignored, much like the adverse event reporting systems’ data. Criminal and malicious. So any further mRNA ”vaccines” will hardly be expected to perform any differently will they? More of the same.

Billy ran his table-top for his next “pandemic,” in October 2022 with predominantly African nations. The next one is called SEERS-25. Due to be released in…2025, which will probably be just after the Plandemic Preparedness Treaty gets the nod.
SEERS-25 is based on the polio virus and this time it will target our youth.
Nice.
Yes potentially we are in great peril !!
Maybe they are just going to go for it now , based on The WHO getting their global treaty in place when it comes back on the table ! Things will get very messy indeed !

More public money wasted to create a homegrown cesspool of disease-inducing pharmaceutical slurry. The gift that never stops giving to those who partake…
As it is the season of goodwill, best wishes – to those who have and those who did not.
The Baby Alex story is beyond awful. Totally heartbreaking.
Yes I’ve read it also. Nothing short of murder. A dreadful story.
“Harry and Meghan say the Sun’s apology for Jeremy Clarkson column ‘nothing more than a PR stunt’
A good example of why in general it’s pointless apologising to the offended woke. Worse than pointless, what happens is that having been given an inch they will want a mile.
It’s the one area where one should double down.
There are very few public figures who speak their minds, and fewer still who refuse to back down when a furore ensues. I can’t think of many who have done this.
Crumbs! Eat your heart out Tomorrow’s World.
If this is a glimpse into the future of medicine delivery methods then that’s even more incentive to stay healthy and the hell away from pharma products. Gelbots and transformer bots anyone?? Creepy;

Full Guardian Xmas joy….
It’s every version of Scrooge in 2022.
Why is Clarkson being crucified for telling Sun readers how he feels about certain hangers-on to the Royal family. Most of us share his antipathy.
From what I have seen reported Clarkson’s language might be considered a bit robust but the left are able to do that without any comment save admiration from their fellows.
the Sun is being wet in its withdrawal of support from Clarkson and I suspect it’s readers side with the columnist, not the Editor.
The removal of the old-fashioned Page 3 seemed to be a sad moment in the history of The Sun. Marked a turning point. But then perhaps I am nostalgic, remembering back to the hour or two three times a week hauling a bag of papers around the neighborhood, before traipsing unwillingly – and usually late – to school.
I am sure this excellent piece will appear on here shortly but have a read…
