Specious argument. Even it it were possible for Britain to reach Net Zero, it would make zero difference to the climate. All we're going to do is spunk billions up the wall on unworkable technology that makes everything more expensive, and people will be substantially poorer.

TL/DR: We need lots more expensive kit to balance a decarbonised grid, which will massively increase system costs, in addition to already very expensive renewables. He's right, #NetZero is like a shell game.

Because MPs did so well picking Rishi. The real problem is the shallow talent pool

What they mean by certainty is guaranteed high and index-linked prices for intermittent electricity. A bigger trough for the snouts

The evidence for this claim is in the Energy Act 2023, which provides for central control of charge points and batteries. Jess isn't really a master of her brief is she?

UK electricity generation from variable renewable energy (=wind+solar) fluctuates between 5% and 60% of UK consumption with an average over 3 days.
Advocates of VRE continually dispute how the dips in generation are compensated for.
It is obviously fossil fuel, here is a thread…
