Environmental levies are set to cost a whopping £95 billion over the next five years, most of which will be loaded onto energy bills, according to the latest analysis of Rachel Reeves's Spring Statement.
U.K. electric vehicle sales are still way below target, says Paul Homewood. "If you wanted to destroy the U.K. car industry, while enriching Chinese and U.S. manufacturers, I cannot think of a better way to do it."
A 17-word tweet by Donald Trump, criticising Keir Starmer for abandoning North Sea Oil, sent the BBC into meltdown, writes Paul Homewood on the Daily Sceptic.
If you thought eco zealot Ed Miliband was bad, wait until you get a load of the Climate Change and Nature Bill, which seeks to turbocharge the Net Zero agenda and already has the support of 192 MPs. Paul Homewood has the skinny.
COP29 ended with the world's 'rich' countries - the U.K. but not India, China or the Gulf states – agreeing to pay $300 billion so 'poor' countries can "fight climate change". It's all nonsense, says Paul Homewood.
Ed Miliband's plan for how to achieve zero carbon electricity by 2030, set out in a new report from the National Energy System Operator, is a damning indictment of the whole Net Zero agenda, says Paul Homewood.
Labour's Budget won't cut bills but will cause green levies to skyrocket, locking households into soaring energy costs, warns Paul Homewood.
In the aftermath of very ordinary-hurricane Milton, it's been claimed that climate change has increased the economic cost of weather disasters. A sober analysis shows this is nonsense, says Paul Homewood.
No, Hurricane Milton is not 'evidence' that global warming is causing more frequent extreme weather, says Paul Homewood. Since records began in 1851, Florida has been hit by 41 hurricanes of Cat 3 strength or greater.
The U.K. only avoided a blackout on Tuesday because gas came to the rescue after a power line importing electricity from Norway failed. Under Net Zero we won't have gas to save us, warns Paul Homewood.
