Britain is facing the terrifying prospect of months-long Spanish-style blackouts as the shift from stable gas power to unreliable wind and solar threatens grid stability.

Corporations and banks are shifting from "green-washing" to "green-hushing", but unless this marks real change, it's just more empty promises, warns Bjorn Lomborg.

A BBC show has claimed that electricity is expensive because of the price of gas. That's nonsense, says David Turver. When taxpayer subsidies are included, electricity from renewables is far more expensive than from gas.

Why does UK electricity cost so much? On the BBC yesterday Energy UK's Adam Berman revealed that it's because gas is setting the price but the Government is pocketing the difference, refusing to pass it on to consumers.

The UK's Net Zero agenda is making families poorer by driving a productivity crisis and squeezing living standards, economists have said. You'd have thought this was obvious, but a great many people are still in denial.

Another day, another 'report' from the Green Blob, this time from the CBI, gaslighting us with the claim that the 'green economy' is booming. What, you feel cold and poor due to sky high energy prices? You must be mad!

Toby Blair's Institute for Global Change has published a report that apparently tells Ed Miliband his Net Zero plans are unrealistic. But look closer and you find the same Green Blob pushing the same agenda, says Ben Pile.

Ed Miliband has blamed high energy prices on Britain's "reliance on global fossil fuel markets". This is nonsense, says Ben Pile. It's Net Zero that makes Britain's gas cost four times more than America's.

Firms supplying food to major Australian supermarkets have launched a revolt against Net Zero, urging the Government to dump its renewables targets and focus on ramping up gas and coal production to cut electricity prices.

BP is to cut nearly 8,000 jobs in the face of falling profits and rising shareholder concern over its green energy policies as pressure from Net Zero policies continues to bite.
