Ed Miliband is confident he's "winning the fight for Net Zero". His assurance is misplaced, says Ben Pile. It's based on a growth in 'green jobs', but they come at the cost of entire sectors in other parts of the economy.
Sceptics lose all their scepticism when faced with claims the Government could block out the Sun, says Ben Pile. But this is no less a delusion of grandeur than the notion human CO2 emissions are controlling the climate.
Ed Miliband's plan to put solar panels on the roof of almost every new build is bonkers, says Ben Pile. He claims it will save £530 a year. But that ignores the £7k upfront cost and assumes no faults and a perfect roof.
It's reported that Ed Miliband is set to roll back the looming boiler ban as heat pump installations miss their target by nearly 90%. Little wonder, says Ben Pile, when payback time is measured in centuries, if at all.
Keir Starmer is cosying up to the EU just as green politics collapses across the continent. Will it give him the excuse he needs to put Ed Miliband and his Net Zero lunacy out of their misery, asks Ben Pile.
Ed Miliband's Net Zero policies promise renters £240 in savings while landing landlords with five-figure bills – a green stack of lies that will only push rents higher, says Ben Pile.
The Net Zero agenda is collapsing into chaos, says Ben Pile, as soaring energy bills and green spin reveal a costly mess where consumers are left footing the bill.
Last month saw a huge increase in energy consumers' direct debit failures. Yet who are all these green organisations now fretting about fuel poverty? The very same pushing the Net Zero agenda, says Ben Pile.
Solar power requires 700 times the land of nuclear power to produce the same amount of energy, calculates Ben Pile. And it still won't work in the dark. When will we recognise the immense folly of renewable energy?
When will Ed Miliband face facts on wind power, asks Ben Pile. As another key wind farm falls through, leaving his 2030 target in tatters, he must accept that wind power is not getting cheaper; bills are not going down.
