With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.
Bizarre and unrealistic, the National Grid's Future Energy Scenarios report is a wild jumble of impractical ideas and unfeasible technologies, says David Turver.
There's a reason that electricity costs twice as much in Britain as in the USA, says Dr. John Fernley. It's because of brainless plans like Ed Miliband's to power us with a sun that doesn't shine when we need it most.
The problem with heat pumps is they're fundamentally uneconomic, and no amount of shifting the costs around can hide that, says Andrew Montford. So beware the Government's latest bait-and-switch ruse to get you to buy one.
Labour's Energy Secretary Ed Miliband wasted no time in ending the "ban" on onshore wind. But with unreliable wind power escalating in cost, this blind commitment to wind power could be Labour's undoing, says Ben Pile.
The Economist predicts that the "exponential growth of solar power will change the world". But this fails to reckon with the scarcity of silver, which is being used up faster than it can be mined, says David Turver.
Net Zero is a high-cost mitigation strategy that can't possibly be better than adaptation, says David Turver – not least because manmade CO2 is clearly not the climate's main control knob.
According to Keir Starmer, Labour's plans for a publicly-owned Great British Energy company will help "close the door to Putin". But the UK's high gas prices are due to Net Zero, not Russia, says Ben Pile.
Why won't the Sunday Times's Economics Editor explain how Net Zero fits with a growing economy? David Smith was asked by David Craig to square this circle for his readers, and he simply responded: "No."
Renewables are not cheap and are never going to be, says David Turver. With over £12 billion being paid in subsidies to or because of renewables each year, the claim that renewable will save us money is a myth.
