anything to avoid his real priorities... it reminds me of a 16 year old ....

Why on earth are we meeting with UNRWA? 🧐

and if it leaks and the poisonous pool of heavier than air gas kills people... ?

🤡 FRACKING - Fracking was halted I because the zealots complained about seismic risk! yet they are very quiet over Ed Miliband's Net Zero plan to DRILL 30 MILLION tons of CO₂ into the ground annually & deadly silent about the risk to the environment. Funny that 🤡

Good luck with that. At the moment it’s the other way around!

Which is why the target for 2030 is 95% of the grid to be renewable, whilst retaining 5% of gas as backup.

Gas is now 88%, wind still 5%, solar, with darkness, 0%. Plus we are being forced to pay, short-term, eye-watering prices for this electricity — far, far more than anything we saw after the invasion of Ukraine. So much for E Miliband’s promise to free us from price-gouging.

Wind and solar generating 5% of UK electricity this morning v almost 70% gas. Decarbonisation the grid by 2030 still has a little way to go 😢

So not UK then. And in developing nations fossil fuel subsidies are largely governments keeping their populations happy by subsidising petrol at the pump so consumers pay below market prices. That merely inflates demand but it’s popular and hard to remove. These are the same…

This made me chuckle. I’m sure you realise this is because of euro weakness (France, Germany) not sterling strength. As illustrated by sterling falling against the $.

Bad news for all the Reeves-haters: the pound is now at its highest level against the euro since the Brexit referendum

Stunning Pentland Hills near #Edinburgh - all that you see - the fencing, the sheep, the woodlands are managed by farmers. Now picture wind turbines and solar panels. Our landscapes will be vandalised. The farmers must win. @NoFarmsNoFoods #Scotland

Plans to build the UK’s largest solar farm (2,400-acres) in Oxfordshire have been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. This is wrong. Instead of developing solar panels on prime farmland, put them on brownfield land, roofs or car parks instead. farminguk.com/news/plans-to-…

State sovereignty 'brexit' vs submitting to undemocratic and unelected technocrats (EU).

100% I’m not against renewables but forcing it on the public making it so expensive, is a joke! Let’s go with everything that is within our reach! Coal, oil, gas, wind, solar, hydro and nuclear… fuck the targets!

Cows are environmentally sustainable. Methane from cows is part of the natural carbon cycle that after 10-12 years breaks down into natural CO2 and water. Grass absorbs the CO2 by photosynthesis and the cycle repeatedly continues. It’s time to end this bullshit propaganda based…
