Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband are at COP29 to "show leadership on the climate challenge". The trouble is, says Ben Pile, no one is following, and the U.K. is just looking more and more ridiculous.
Labour's Budget won't cut bills but will cause green levies to skyrocket, locking households into soaring energy costs, warns Paul Homewood.
Green levies helping to support supposed cheap wind and solar power have soared in Labour's Budget and will quickly add many hundreds of pounds to household electricity bills, says Chris Morrison.
David Turver looks at the energy horrors in Labour's Budget, including 22% more cash for Ed Miliband's Net Zero Department to waste on green energy unicorns and billions more in renewable subsidies.
No, fossil fuels are not being "subsidised" by the Government, as the Guardian claims, says David Turver. It turns out what they mean is they're not being taxed as much as they think they should be. Tax is not a subsidy.
Windy August has driven record green subsidies, and the signs suggest that subsidies will rise further in the winter months ahead, says David Turver.
Ed Miliband has just agreed to pay 58% more for renewable energy and barefacedly claimed it will lower bills. The Government's green agenda is based on lies upon lies upon lies upon lies, says Ben Pile.
Consumers have already stumped up close to £2.5 million for Ed Miliband's flagship Viking wind farm in the Shetlands to have its turbines turned off.
Every job in wind and solar power is currently costing the taxpayer over £250,000 in subsidies every year. This isn't the promised "green prosperity"; it's the path to penury.
The UK will squander a staggering £16 billion this decade as regulatory and planning failures result in Scotland's wind power surplus outstripping transmission capacity to the South.
