Sceptical voices in the Tories have started to be heard on Net Zero. But Ben Pile isn't buying it. You could barely put a piece of paper between the party and Ed Miliband when it comes to alarmism. It's a phoney war.
Labour's swivel-eyed Net Zero zealotry is getting more cult-like by the day, says Sallust – as two recent articles in the Daily Telegraph, one on a weird 19th century sect and one on COP29, make clear.
With a looming jobs bloodbath from Ed Miliband’s crusade to make Britain the global leader on climate change a civil war within Labour is about to break out over Net Zero, says Matthew Lynn.
Britain will ban new coal mines as part of Ed Miliband’s drive to hit Net Zero carbon emission, while China continues to power its economy – and make our wind turbines and solar panels – mainly with coal.
The war on fertiliser has come to Britain, says Chris Morrison, with Labour imposing a 'carbon' import duty on the farming essential. Not content with making Brits colder and poorer, they are making us hungrier.
Gas boilers are to be banned in most new homes by 2027 as part of legislation being brought forward by the Government requiring new-builds to be only fitted out with electric heat pumps or non-gas alternatives.
Britain’s wind power generation is set to plummet to almost zero this week as Ed Miliband presses ahead with plans to cut dependency on gas and increase the nation’s reliance on intermittent renewable energy.
Will Donald Trump kill Net Zero, asks Ben Pile. Yes. But more precisely Net Zero will kill Net Zero. Because no one wants to become Germany, with its headlong rush into deindustrialisation, least of all China and the USA.
When Ed Miliband didn’t come to the Commons to deliver a statement it became obvious the wheels had come off his 'plan' for zero carbon electricity by 2030. It's another broken election pledge, says Claire Coutinho.
Ed Miliband's plan for how to achieve zero carbon electricity by 2030, set out in a new report from the National Energy System Operator, is a damning indictment of the whole Net Zero agenda, says Paul Homewood.
