This is insane. An official said “The AI agenda would be way more advanced if it wasn’t for Miliband’s focus on net zero.” We cannot block one of our most important growth sectors in the name of Net Zero. Energy policy must fit what the country needs, not the other way around.

Borders are great, aren’t they

🚨BREAKING🚨 Maximum strike prices for Ed Miliband's missing wind auction are out. Gruesome. Offshore wind: £113/MWh Higher than last year. Highest in a decade. And that's before all the extra costs of grid, backup, and wasted wind. As a comparison, the average cost of

One of my major battles in the Department was getting them to work out the true cost of renewables. Ed's scrapped that work. The entire government machine and surrounding 'independent' bodies are working off of completely bogus numbers that don't reflect the true costs. And we

OFFSHORE WIND PRICE SURGE AR7 prices £117 per MWH now mean 15% increase on last year & likely 30% + increase by completion in few years time Well over double price forecast 6 months ago by Climate Change Committee, means Net Zero cost much higher than even my worst fears

Bloody expensive these cheap renewables. Nearly everything up, way above inflation for AR7.

We can't reach Net Zero without crushing demand through high prices. If the AR7 contracts were under the 15-year system, their strike price would be £155.18/MWh (2025) Intermittents are expensive, and there is no getting around this obvious fact.

Astonishingly, DESNZ is saying that these extremely expensive prices are based on load factors *they must know are false*. DESNZ's own stats (DUKES table 6.3) show the load factor for offshore wind has never reached an assumed load factor of 49%.

If you really believed that intermittent electricty souces were going to get cheaper (offshore wind will not, as AR7 shows) why would you lock consumers in 20 year contracts based on current prices?

Miliband does not have a mandate to do this, which shows why Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 is right to put developers and their investors on notice. This is a cost-of-living time bomb ready to go off.

In consumer terms, Mr Miliband is going to put your electricity bills through the sodding ceiling!

.Ed Miliband can bleat on and on about “culture wars” but the cold hard facts don't lie. He is creating a cost of living emergency with this mad dash for unreliables. Net Zeronis making us poorer. People did not vote for this 👇👇👇

On present trends, many Labour & Tory MPs probably have around 40 or fewer months of salary and position remaining. Then they will be out, seeking work in an economy Labour has crushed..

Today Ed Miliband has announced the prices he is willing to pay new renewables in the upcoming AR7 round of the CfD scheme Look how expensive they are!!! The average wholesale power price in 2024 was just £73 /MWh But he is willing to pay up to 57% more for offshore wind.

Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 was absolutely correct to say Reform UK won't honour contracts at these prices If the auctions clear anywhere close to these levels it will be a disaster for businesses already struggling with the highest industrial electricity prices in the developed world,

For AR7, DESNZ has reduced expected load factors by astonishing amounts. It has been common knowledge that the numbers in the last auction were cynical lies. This is what you expect from DESNZ. The current values are still grossly overstated. (1/2)

I'm guessing the reduction may have something to do with the new approach to the auction, going for a desired capacity rather than a budget. Lower capacity factors will presumably make the expected cost look lower. (2/2)

"The world has never seen a government more radically libertarian than Javier Milei's. But the amazing thing is not that it is working economically—Adam Smith would say, 'I told you so.' The true miracle is that Milei’s shock therapy is working politically."

Further big fall in UK car production. This is not just about tariffs. The more battery cars they offer and the more petrol models they cancel the fewer cars they sell.
