Net Zero is Driving Millions into Fuel Poverty – Enough is Enough

Today’s fuel poverty figures confirm what struggling families and pensioners have known for years—government energy policies are failing us.

3.17 million households are officially in fuel poverty, and a staggering 8.9 million are spending over 10% of their income just to keep the lights on. Meanwhile, energy giants rake in billions, green lobbyists celebrate, and politicians pat themselves on the back for their “progress” toward Net Zero.

But here’s the truth: Net Zero is a disaster for ordinary Britons. It’s driving energy prices up, making everyday life unaffordable, and forcing the poorest to choose between heating and eating.

The Real Reason Your Bills Keep Rising

The government won’t admit it, but your energy bill is loaded with hidden costs. Every month, you’re not just paying for electricity—you’re funding a radical green agenda.

🔥 £450 per household, every year – That’s how much green levies are adding to bills, thanks to subsidies for unreliable wind and solar. These subsidies are set to rise to £14.8 billion per year by 2030.

🔥 £3 trillion grid upgrade – To handle the UK’s growing dependence on renewables, the National Grid says we need a multi-trillion-pound overhaul. And guess what? You’re paying for it.

🔥 Banning reliable energy – Coal is gone. New gas projects are blocked. The UK now relies on expensive imports while pretending offshore wind and solar can meet demand (spoiler: they can’t).

🔥 Battery storage madness – Because wind and solar don’t work 24/7, we’re now throwing billions at battery storage systems (BESS)—one of the most expensive ways to store power.

And yet, the government dares to act surprised when millions can’t afford their energy bills.

Who Pays the Price?

This isn’t just about numbers. This is about real lives being ruined.

❌ Elderly pensioners shivering in their homes while winter fuel payments are cut.
❌ Low-income families forced to sacrifice meals to keep the heating on.
❌ Small businesses struggling to survive under crushing energy costs.

Meanwhile, the people behind this disaster—politicians, climate activists, and corporate investors—aren’t the ones suffering. They’re sitting in their heated offices, making speeches about “saving the planet” while you pay the price.

The Way Forward – Real Energy Solutions, Not Green Delusions

Britain does not have to be stuck in this crisis. But we need real solutions, not ideological nonsense.

✅ Scrap green levies – Stop making families subsidize corporate green schemes.
✅ Invest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) – Affordable, reliable nuclear power.
✅ Expand domestic gas production – Use our own resources instead of relying on expensive imports.
✅ Stop wasting money on unreliable renewables – We need power that works, not empty promises.

Enough is Enough

The government keeps chasing Net Zero at any cost, ignoring the suffering it’s causing. It’s time for a reality check. Energy should be affordable, reliable, and secure—not a luxury that only the rich can afford.

Britain deserves better. And until we abandon this reckless green agenda, fuel poverty will only get worse.

The choice is clear: common sense energy policy, or more families left in the cold.
