While the West surrenders its energy security on the altar of Net Zero, China secures 80% of the world's solar market with its coal-fired economy. This is craziness, says Sallust, and Australia is waking up.
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.
In Germany, taxpayers are being charged billions of euros when the sun shines under contracts that commit the Government to paying solar energy producers the difference between a generous fixed tariff and the market rate.
Tesco and Shell are to buy the entire output of a controversial solar farm under construction on the Kent coast that was approved against massive local opposition on the basis that it would power 100,000 homes.
Australia's latest hare-brained scheme to turn the Outback into a giant solar farm resembles a nutty Heath Robinson contraption and may mark the beginning of the end of Australia's renewables romance, says Nick Cater.
New research sounds the alarm on the catastrophic hit to house prices lurking behind Ed Miliband's grand plan to scatter the UK with new pylons, wind turbines and solar farms.
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.
Britain doesn't have enough land for all the solar panels that would be needed to power Labour's nutty Net Zero agenda, says Ben Pile. Truth is, you can't make everything electric and run it on sunshine.
Ed Miliband’s decision to give the Mallard Pass a 3,000-acre-solar farm is like forcing a baby to have tattoos for its own health, says Joanna Gray. Trouble is, too few these days care for the beauty of nature.
Ed Miliband has pushed through Britain's biggest solar farm on green land despite the objections of officials, prompting fears he is endangering the nation’s food security.
