Accoring to former prime minister Theresa May, tying the government and by default the long suffering taxpayers of this country into a legally binding commitment to achieve ‘net zero’ by 2050 was one of the crowning achievements of her time in office although how she could possibly know what would happen several decades in the future is a mystery, especially as she clearly did not know what was going on around her at the time. Well let’s be honest, the Maybot screwed up every contemporary policy action so there were no other achievements with which anyone who cared thirty years in the future could compare. There was no outcome May would ever have to deal with so I suppose a meidocre, incompetent politician like May would consider having got away with making a law that was guaranteed to trash the national economy and drive millions of Britons into third world levels of poverty an achievement.
The green revolution which Theresa May and her government embraced was only ever an illusion given false credibility by promise: of cheaper energy, of greener jobs, and of a cleaner environment.
Only five years down the line and that wildly optimistic and myopic view of the net-zero myth is rapidly collapsing into ruins. Last month’s auction of licences for offshore wind farm developments – where no bids to build new offshore wind were submitted – served as a heads up not just to the wind industry, but to everyone individual and organisation with a financial interest the net-zero transition.
This was a profound humiliation for the renewables industry and its supporters, and was understood to be due to costs spiralling out of control and output from all types of renewables technologies falling far short of levels predicted by scientists and their mathematical models. This week Tom Glover, chair of RWE Renewables UK arm, has suggested that prices per megawatt hour will need to rise substantially, from £44 to somewhere between £65 and £75.
In other words: wind farms might generate energy at zero cost if we ignore the initial capital investment in manufacturing and erecting the turbine and the very high maintenance costs, but for it to be economically viable once capital investement, maintenance and distribution costs are accounted for it is almost double the price of power generated in gas, nuclear or coal powered generators. And higher costs mean higher bills.
It turns out energy policy isn’t as straightforward as the greener we get, the cheaper things get. Glover’s comments are a far more honest assessment than the eco-equivalent of “have your cake and eat it” line we’ve been fed for years. But with that honesty also comes some mandatory reassessment.
We have been totally misled by politicians and vested interests (grant phishing scientists, profiteering ‘green blob’ corporations,) about the likely consequences of what is if we’re honest, a trivial fkluctuation in global average temperatures.
Wind energy – once you include the required grid upgrades, storage and backup requirement – are multiples more expensive than the demonised fossil fuel and nuclear resources that currently generate most of our energy.
We have been deceived by Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) figures that don’t include any of the major cost factors for renewables, most blatantly the huge upfront capital investment. We should be furious. We should be out in the streets demanding that Energy Department ministers and civil servants’, senior executives of renewable energy businesses’ and the mad scientists mad scientists’ heads be displayed on spikes around the perimeter railings of The Palace of Westminster! (metaphorically of course.) They have all betrayed the public and serve political agendas nobody ever has or would vote for.
Once you include those and the required grid, storage and backup, the LCOE rises from the advertised $40/MWh, to nearer $300/MWh. (coal power being around $60)To embezzle taxpayer’s money in the way all these people have is a heinous crime by any standards. This money is forcibly taken from all of us on pain of imprisonment. Students pay tax (VAT), pensioners also. Car owners pay road tax, fulel tax and excise duty (and VAT on all those taxes,) people who enjoy a beer or a glass of wine or spirits pay tax and duty on their pleasure, people who like a bet on the horses or other sporting events pay betting tax. There are myriad other taxes, licence fees, duties, tolls etc. that we pay to national and local government. In total almost half of our hard – earned goies back to these self serving scumbags. Our money should be treated with respect. The fact that dishonest con artists in government, business, academia and media have all had their snouts in the trough we so generously fill, promising energy security but actually delivering us into energy poverty and ruin is an insult to all of us.
The True Cost Of The Green Energy Boom Is Now Being Realized
For four decades we have been fed a constant stream of propaganda assuring us that green energy was the only way forward if we wanted to secure supplies of the energy essential to a modern society while preventing the environmental catastrophes that would be the inevitable consequence of climate change caused by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted by human industrial, commercial and social activity. … Continue reading >>>
Electricity cuts and power crisis predicted for Britain’s New Year Holiday

Now Even ‘Hockey Stick’ Mann Admits The ‘Pause’ In Global Warming Is Real
“It has been claimed that the early-2000s global warming slowdown or hiatus, characterized by a reduced rate of global surface warming, has been overstated, lacks sound scientific basis, or is unsupported by observations. The evidence presented here contradicts these claims,” the paper in Nature Climate Change says.
German Scientist Confims Climate Change Ia A Politically Motivated Scam
Even as the inbred idiot Prince Charles was babbling to a hand picked audience about the skid marks in his underpants being caused by Climate Change, a somewhat more scientifically literate person, Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert, a retired geologist and data computation expert, has confirmed what those of us dubbed ‘climate deniers’ have been telling you for years …
It Looks As If Carbon Credits Scam Has INCREASED CO2 Emissions
As the climate change scare becomes more and more exposed for the money making fraud it always was, they green weirdie beardie, rope sandal wearing tree huggers get more hysterical and stupid in their arguments that we must all return to medieval lifestyles, the billionaires like Al Gore who hope to profit from it keep flogging the dead horse and the angrier and more vicious the left wing hate mobs become in their witch hunts.

Volkswagen Emissions Scandal – Is It The Tip Of The Iceberg?
The real problem here is that, driven by the hysterical warnings of self interested pseudo-scientists, politicians have set unachievable targets for reducing emissions while demanding that national economies keep growing.
America and UK Lead the World in Climate Scepticism
Several times now it has looked as if the climate chance scare was over as the enthusiasm of climate scitentists for changing real world data to fit in with the predictions of their mathematical models has been exposed. But as the scare was never about the environment, but was a scam to redistribute wealth from rich to poor countries, the politicians are throwing their propaganda budgets behind it again.
p>Global Warming Is Not Causing Any Polar Ice Cap Meltdown Says NASA
Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

Britain is Breaking Down; The Economy Is Struggling, Living Standards Are Falling, Institutions Are Failing
Successive governments have brought Britain to its knees.This article will focus on Britain as representative of the general malaise that is afflicting almost all the developed world. Our current crop of politicians have discarded the resources that brought the country out of the post war decline … In spite of being rich in energy resources Britain is now in an energy crisis, our leaders have sacrificed prosperity on the altar of Net Zero, committing the nation to our reducing our 1% contribution to harmful emissions still further …
Official Advice – Prepare For Blackouts This Winter
The UK
government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call
a “reasonable worst-case scenario” for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia. The real reason politicians and energy company CEOs are panicking is entirely due to their obession with obtaining all our energy from intermittent sources like wind and sunshine …
“Revolution Has Begun”: 75,000 Brits Plan To Stop Paying Power Bills In Protest At Energy Rip Off
Resistance is growing to spiralling domestic energy costs in Britain as more than 75,000 irritated people in the UK have pledged not to pay their electricity bill this fall when prices jump again.
If the government & energy companies refuse to act then
ordinary people will! Together we can enforce a fair price and affordable energy for all,” tweeted “Don’t Pay UK,” an anonymous group spearheading the effort to have more than one million Brits boycott paying their power bill by Oct. 1.UK Energy Crisis Deepens as prices and demand skyrocket while supplies shrink to critical levels
It is ironic that in the week world leaders and flat faced Swedeish trolls are gathering in Glasgow for an orgy of virtue signalling that will inevitably drive millions of people in the developed world into fuel poverty and result in more industrial jobs being exported from the west to the world’s major produceres of Carbon Dioxide emissions, China and India, the energy crunch that is affecting the whole of Europe is about to hit the United Kingdom extremely hard.

A few months ago, before the June oil prices crash, the US oil industry was ebullient. “It is too late for OPEC to stop the shale revolution”, industry pundits squawked, “OPEC can’t stop the shale industry” – screamed banner headlines in the usually restrained financial press. But if a week is a lon=g time in politics, three months is eternity in the oil business.House battery to store energy will ‘change entire infrastructure of the world’ – or maybe not
Another costly new product hailed as a breakthough in technology, this time a clutching-at-straws exercise from the failing electric car company Tesla, completely fails to live up to the hype under scrutiny. Hailed as a super battery, a mjor advance in battery technology that will change the world to store power for a household, it turns out to be nothing more than a streamined car battery. It will run the average home for about 2 hours.Researchers Discover How to Use Living Plants to Generate Electricity.
Most of the hyped green energy solutions to generate electricity from wind or sunshine are so obviously flawed the only thing that makes them economically viable is that governments offer huge subsidies to generators. This in turn makes the sustainables so expensive that consumers cannot afford the intermittent energy they produce.EXPLORE:
