Poor (and getting poorer) old Britain - the next election will be “out of the frying pan (of corruption) and into the (bon)fire of the insanities of the “Net Zero” 2030 targets

The UK’s next general election to vote for a new Parliament that will govern the country for the next five years will occur sometime in 2024. The ruling Conservative party has been in power for over a decade since 2010 and are responsible for handling all the trials and tribulations that have arisen.

There are many things for which they are responsible and many things for which they are not.

Climate change is not one of them. The lunatic Cult that insists “the end of the world is nigh” using faux science instead of the sandwich boards of a 100 years ago – infests and infects the opposition Labour party even more than the “wet” ruling Conservatives.

It is truly insane.

One of the leading advisers to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is a man called Ed Milliband.

Sir Keir Starmer appointed Miliband Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in April 2020 and Shadow Secretary of State for Climate Change and Net Zero in the November 2021.

Might as well have appointed him “Shadow Secretary of smoky BBQ’s”. Milliband is a “Jonah” who has never attracted any support other than from those he can dominate and bully – which is a pretty pathetic bunch of ineffectual and intellectually challenged idiots.

Now it looks like he has Sir Keir Starmer’s “ear”.

There is no climate crisis requiring a massive and accelerated move to “Net Zero” policies. Even of you believed in a need for Net Zero, emissions from China and India will make any reduction insignificant and irrelevant.

So, what are the policies that Labour, led by Starmer and advised by Milliband, has in store for the British public?

Intentional increased poverty from expensive energy and food.

In case Labour politicians are not aware, 2030 is just six years away and there is such a thing as practical logistics.

Why Keir Starmer’s plan to ‘rewire Britain’ is already coming unstuck (msn.com)

Rewire Britain?

Let me repost this, just so there’s a little background.

The People Promising Us 'Net Zero' Are Clueless About Energy Storage - Climate Change Dispatch

“A central pillar is the pledge to make Britain’s electricity grid zero-carbon by 2030, meaning the removal, or mitigation, of all carbon emissions. “

In six years, maybe five if the election occurs close to December 2024 than May 2024. The outgoing Conservative government has the same target, but a 2035 date – ten years – equally ludicrous, impossible and not required.

“Perhaps the biggest is the UK’s current reliance on 32 gas-fired power stations, which generated about one-third of our electricity last year, according to the National Grid.

In winter cold spells, when temperatures and wind speeds plummet, this can rise to as much as 65pc, with the power stations pouring nearly three tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every second in winter.”

Three tonnes a second of CO2 over the three to four months of winter as the wind and solar supply falls from one third to zero and natural gas supply jumps from one third to two thirds?  In exchange for what – 24 million tonnes of CO2 over 3 months?

The article goes on to highlight new policies like the creation of nationalized industry (remember Labour are socialists that believe in controlling the means of production) plus Labour also wants to create a “wealth fund” out of thin air. Imagine that, not a magic money tree a magic wealth fund!

“This includes: ending the de facto onshore wind ban in England; fast-tracking a new round of contracts for renewable energy developers; establishing a “British jobs bonus” to incentivise firms to build their supply chains in the UK; creating a state-backed body, GB Energy, to support and de-risk technologies such as green hydrogen and carbon capture; creating a national wealth fund to invest in infrastructure; and reforming planning rules, grid connection processes and the electricity market.”

The staggering stupidity and discrimination against the entire country is brazen. “I am a politician, I have no expertise in anything in particular, but I can borrow mountains of debt, raise taxes and prices that impoverish the poorest in the country – for no reason justified by any provable scientific evidence – because I am an arrogant asshole and you are not.”

More from the article:

“Today, there are about 15 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity, but Labour’s aspiration is for 55 gigawatts by 2030. The official Government target is already 50GW, a number that requires the installation of at least one to two turbines every day for the next seven years – and one that the industry is struggling to meet already. “

One to two turbines every day for seven years to get to 50 GW by 2035 – and they can’t supply that – Labour wants another 10% in two years less.

“Labour also wants to more than double the UK’s onshore wind capacity to 35GW.”

Those windmills will not get as much wind power as the offshore turbines and even then, will have to be placed on agricultural land – unless they seek to take over all the army’s training grounds in places like Salisbury Plains.

Let’s hope there is not another war. Fighter aircraft could cripple the entire power gris in a few minutes by taking these monstrous eyesores out.

“Labour’s plan is to triple capacity to 50GW by 2030, with such an expansion covering up to 400,000 acres of mainly farmland in solar panels – an area the size of Hertfordshire.”

All close to cities – bamg goes the neighbourhood. Forests of windmills and plantations of solar panels – all of which will simply not work in winder or the dark or during any “Doldrums”.

“Neither the current target of 2035, nor the more ambitious target of 2030, are remotely achievable,” argues Ashutosh Padelkar, a senior associate at Aurora. “

Yeah really.

As usual with the monster raving lunatic left, there is no mention of cost.

If they had any brains, they would conflate “Net Zero” with “Free Energy” from renewables. The entire existing “renewables” infrastructure ALREADY bought and paid for with tax subsidies over the last few decades. It is a sunk cost.

Technology will make any windmills and solar panels redundant in a few years, making their disposal a major headache.

What are the running costs of these renewables? Where are the numbers? Hidden of course. The maintenance costs should be close to net zero, so why is energy from renewables 5 times the price of energy from natural gas?

The UK already has a few trillion pounds of debt incurred from past unaffordable “government” policies that could not be funded from taxation.

What will this accelerated “green-elephant-doggle” of Labour’s cost? A trillion pounds? Two trillion? All to be made obsolete in the same five years (2030) as the plan to “rewire Britain”? The outgoing existing Conservative plans are not much better.

Wound’t it be nice if the election manifestos of each political party told the truth?

“Vote for us – in the next five years we will increase your taxes and cost of living by 20%, to make you 40% poorer, for no good reason”.

Stupidity and politics – the bigger the government the more the stupidity and corruption.

Maybe the heading of my article should be “out of the dying pan, into the mire”.

Onwards!
