We looked for an image depicting as many disbenefits of wind as possible. We couldn't find one, so we made our own. Feel free to RT.

Such an excellent interview.
I was delighted to join the Wolfe Power Club podcast this week talking about the costs of net zero

Absolute cobblers. The base costs of existing renewables are more expensive than gas (even with a carbon tax). Then add on the £32/MWh to cover grid balancing and backup and even new renewables are much more expensive. Net Zero is increasing our bills. Link to detail in reply.

@CampbellClaret & @RoryStewartUK discuss how the fossil fuel industries have done a very good job of weaponising Net Zero @FuseEnergy #ad
Such an important document from CB4PC.

@Ed_Miliband is as bad. He keeps saying renewables are cheap when they are clearly more expensive than gas fired generation
The most recent offshore wind subsidy was 13% higher than the gas based wholesale power price
Renewables backup costs are going up
Renewables curtailment costs going up
Renewables connection costs going up
Renewables balancing costs going up
A stunningly good, factual and concise mythbusting report which we have had the pleasure of highlighting today.
This evening my latest report: "The true affordability of net zero", was launched at an event hosted by The Lord Offord of Garvel, Shadow Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero in the House of Lords.
The event was attended by MPs, Peers and members of the energy community as well as the press. It’s the first time a report of mine has received quite so much attention, and it was great to see so many people there (thank you to everyone who came!)
The costs of net zero are a hot topic. While @Ed_Miliband repeats over and over that renewables are cheap and gas is the reason for our high power prices, this report demonstrates that these claims are simply untrue.
While gas prices undeniably set the wholesale price of electricity, this is only c 40% of what we pay in our bills. Gas prices are falling while the costs of renewables are rising. The most recent subsidy round, AR6 saw offshore wind price around £10 /MWh higher than the average day ahead wholesale electricity price in 2024.
An even that wasn't enough with @Orsted cancelling its Hornsea 4 project saying it was uneconomic.
It's time for a more honest debate about the true costs of net zero. I hope this report can inform some of that discussion.

The institutions were out in force claiming renewables are cheap in their evidence to the ESNZ Cost of Energy Inquiry. This amounts to an industrial-scale effort to gaslight the public and mislead Parliament because renewables are much more expensive than gas. A thread 🧵(1/n)

Welcome to Scotland, destroyers of landscapes for the greedy "green" machine. Wind, hydro, pylons and substations, the growing map just keeps expanding, at least we have a map now, it took over 6months to put together but its here. And they say they are just getting started.

I find very difficult to believe that the Spanish government doesn’t have by now a rough idea of the origin of the blackout. I don’t mean a full root analysis, with chain of events. I mean a rough, but informed, view. @RedElectricaREE has second by second data.

Hmm so you think buying energy assets from China rather than producing our own is going to help energy security. Your policies are making energy security much worse

How indeed
@Ed_Miliband maybe you can break the habit of a lifetime and reply to a post...
Please explain your rationale for investing in dimming the sun while investing in electricity generation that depends on the brightness of the sun

“Ed Miliband and his Energy Department are the biggest source of disinformation on Net Zero in the country. He's gone out of his way to make sure that the truth never comes out,” @aDissentient tells @TalkTV.

How dare you talk about social justice after voting down the Alton amendment
This entire article is vague hot air. Where are the FACTS? I can tell you exactly how much net zero is costing us but you cannot admit it or say what the alternative would cost
Why not?
Your critics are not shilling for oil and gas we are representing the facts about the way your energy policies are destroying UK industry and pushing more people into fuel poverty without "saving the planet" because the emissions are simply being offshored. And because they are moving to places with dirtier energy, global emissions are rising as a result

The nauseating hypocrisy of E Miliband is jaw-dropping. He and his kind across the political class — Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, SNP — promoted the very energy policies that lumbered Britain with the highest industrial energy costs in the world, making industries like steel uneconomic. They tolerated no dissent from their net zero nonsense even as deindustrialisation gathered pace. And now Miliband has the audacity to pose as the saviour of British steelworkers! In truth, the British political class has shamefully failed them, none more so than net zero zealot Miliband.
Very proud to be in the House today to see my colleagues @jreynoldsMP and @LabourSJ standing up for British steelworkers and industry. This Government is delivering the muscular industrial policy this country needs in uncertain times.
