⚖️ The Energy Tug of War: CCC & DESNZ vs. NESO ⚙️
🏛️ CCC & DESNZ: Obsessed with net zero deadlines — no matter the damage.
🧠 NESO (National Energy System Operator): Focused on reality — keeping the lights on and the system stable.
⚔️ The conflict? Fantasy models vs. physical infrastructure.
Result? Confusion, delays, and billions in wasted investment 💸.
The UK’s energy strategy is a mess. While politicians and committees cheer for more windmills and solar farms, the people actually running the grid are waving red flags 🚩.
It’s time to stop plugging holes with battery farms and start investing in real, homegrown solutions.

In essence: BESS props up an energy model that doesn’t align generation with demand — it doesn’t fix it.
🚨 Battery Farms: A Toxic Patch, Not a Power Solution 🔋
⏱️ Short duration — 1–2 hours max. Doesn’t solve winter lulls or multi-day outages.
🔥 Fire & explosion risks — Especially near homes, schools, and farmland.
⚠️ Toxic waste & rare minerals — Lithium, cobalt, nickel = dirty supply chains.
💷 Hidden costs — You’re paying to store wasted energy we didn’t need in the first place.
BESS = A £££ sticking plaster on a broken, bloated system.
⚛️ SMRs: The Power We Actually Need 💪
🇬🇧 Made in Britain — Like Rolls-Royce SMRs
⏲️ Runs 24/7 — No wind or sun needed
🧱 Small footprint — Fits on old coal/gas sites
🔌 Grid friendly — No new pylons or backup batteries needed
SMRs = secure, sovereign, scalable power.
☀️ Power Roll: Clean Energy Without Wrecking the Countryside 🌱
🪶 Ultra-light solar film — No glass, no concrete, no digging
♻️ Lower emissions to make & recycle
🏠 Installs anywhere — homes, sheds, rooftops, even tents
🌾 Protects farmland — No more solar fields devouring food-producing land
Power Roll = the kind of smart green tech we should be investing in.
🧠 Time for an Energy Reset
Britain’s current plan is:
❌ Fragile
❌ Expensive
❌ Land-hungry
❌ Ideologically driven
What we need is:
✅ Grid-first engineering
✅ Nuclear + smart solar combo
✅ Tech that works with nature, not against it
✅ Energy sovereignty, not foreign dependency
It’s time to power Britain with logic, not slogans. Let’s demand innovation, not illusion. 🚀🇬🇧
