It's unacceptable that this government is devastating out bees by authorizing the use of banned and toxic pesticides to shore up the beet industry. Agriculture is sustained by workers, not owners. Let's save our ecology and preserve workers' rights. Ban the chems. #CountryFile

“Ed Miliband adds £150 to household bills with wind turbine building spree. Profits from record-breaking green expansion will go to foreign energy firms.” UK net zero is a burden on taxpayers, a wealth transfer to overseas corporations and a land grab. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

This is massively disingenuous boasting by Ed Miliband. He is claiming credit when it wasn’t entirely due, because this year’s renewables auction was designed well before the general election. The last government was prepared to pay up to £73 a megawatt hour (bizarrely stated in

“We are going to have to be unpopular.” ~ Keir Starmer Removing the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners isn’t just unpopular, it’s cruel. And meanwhile, taxpayers continue to pay for MPs’ energy costs in their second homes. #bbclaurak

Labour net zero strategy: 1. Close down North Sea oil 2. Wreck steel industry. 3. Port Talbot loses X,000 workers, kills town. Makes “green steel” useless for construction/armaments. 4. Imports high grade steel from China/India to pretend we don’t make any CO2. 5. Destroys car

The devastation of #HS2 is so great is because of this ridiculous design speed. It has to go straight, it can't bend round sensitive sites so this maximises the damage to the natural world and it has to be far wider than a traditional railway. And cost goes up. #Panorama

Our LUNATIC government have announced today they will spend £22 billion on Carbon capture & storage . This is such a load of utter nonsense on top of other utter nonsense. Miliband & crew need a straitjacket & to be kept in them until this lunacy dies.

14 million trees have been cut down in Scotland to make way for wind farms. Yet now the government is blowing £22 Billion on carbon capture. What were the 14 million trees doing then? Sheer net zero lunacy. heraldscotland.com/news/18270734.…

#CarbonCapture The UK CC plan will (if it works at all) remove 8.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year That's 1/40th of UK's CO2 So will influence climate by 1/40th of our 1/5,000th of a degree per year 1/200,000th of a degree per year For £22,000,000,000 A good deal for Brits?

The UK government is spaffing £22bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines. Yet, carbon capture technology requires “almost as much energy as that contained in the fossil fuels that produced the CO2 in the first place. An exercise in futility.” £22bn white elephant.

The COP29 climate summit begins in Baku, Azerbaijan. A two week jamboree of various private jet flying VIPs indulging in virtue hypocrisy. #COP29

Spaffing away £22 billion on carbon capture machines and destroying thousands of acres of prime farmland with mass-scale solar panels is not in the best interests of our national security. You are destroying our economic and food security on the altar of net zero.

Seven large blocks of flats in NW London discharging raw sewage directly into vulnerable Thames tributaries 🤮 This takes us back to pre-Victorian times with our rivers literally being treated like open sewers ⁦Thames Water 💧⁩ is a failed business 😡 bbc.com/news/articles/…

NET ZETO - The Bank of England has admitted that the Carbon permit costs paid by power plants are just passed on to bill payers. And er …. Adding to inflation 🤡 Stating the bloody obvious! It would be moronic to think business would not pass on these ‘fines’ it’s pathetic.

If the financial cost of Net Zero doesn't alarm you, the physical reality should. A wind turbine commissioned in 2025 is essentially e-waste by 2045. We're currently using high-density fossil fuels to build low-density wind solar replacements that cannot reproduce themselves.
