How the CCC and DESNZ Built a Failing Energy System -On Purpose The UK’s energy crisis isn’t an accident. It’s the outcome of a system designed in Whitehall, where the Climate Change Committee (CCC) writes the legally binding carbon budgets and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) funds the modelling to “prove”…

💥 Richard Tice, Deputy Leader of Reform UK, has dropped a political bombshell in the Mail on Sunday:Scrap Ed Miliband’s Net Zero plan and the average household could save £1,000 a year by 2030.Here’s why this matters NOW ⬇️💷 £1,000 a year savings – Stop forcing families to bankroll overpriced green contracts. ⚡ Cheaper power…

💥 Introduction: High Risk, High Cost — All in the Name of Net ZeroAcross Wales and the rest of the UK, communities are waking up to a new and little-understood danger creeping into their countryside: massive lithium-ion battery farms, also known as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).There are currently 87 BESS applications in Wales alone,…

Outsourcing Sovereignty: The Climate Innovation Pull Facility and the Net Zero Contract State 📘 Section 1: Introduction – A Flagship Without Scrutiny In 2019, the UK government launched the Ayrton Fund—a £1 billion commitment to support clean energy innovation in developing countries. Billed as a “climate-smart” development mechanism, the fund was originally managed by the…

🔥 How the CCC, DESNZ, and Net Zero Ideology Are Breaking Britain 🚨 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) claims that Net Zero by 2050 is “feasible, fair, and affordable.” Its Sixth Carbon Budget (2020) proposes a 78% emissions cut by 2035 — enforced through binding carbon budgets and an unelected bureaucracy with…

Richard Tice’s recent column in the Daily Mail nailed the growing public rage at Ed Miliband’s “Net Stupid Zero” agenda. He’s absolutely right: Labour’s renewable obsession is fuelling inflation, crippling our grid, and plunging Britain into energy poverty. But here’s the part Westminster still isn’t ready to hear: it’s not just bad policy — it’s…

Chapter 5: The Storage Illusion – Batteries, Hydrogen, and Net Zero Fantasy The UK’s push toward a fully decarbonised electricity grid has led policymakers to place disproportionate faith in energy storage technologies as the solution to renewable intermittency. From lithium-ion battery megafarms to green hydrogen production schemes, storage has become the catch-all answer to a…

While politicians boast about the UK’s “green energy leadership,” the truth is more shocking: our grid is broken, our bills are rising, and you’re paying for power that never gets used. Welcome to the hidden world of curtailment – where energy is generated, then dumped… and you still foot the bill. ❌ What Is Curtailment…

Introduction In 2008, Parliament passed the Climate Change Act with almost no opposition—an event celebrated by its authors as a triumph of political consensus. But what if that moment marked not a moral victory, but the quiet surrender of democratic oversight to ideology and bureaucracy? What if, rather than solving climate problems, the Act created…

Why Carbon Budgets Are Breaking Britain – and Only AC Generation Can Fix It Introduction: From World Leader to Energy Basket Case Once a global pioneer in electricity and grid stability, Britain is now in crisis. Blackouts loom, energy prices have skyrocketed, and vital grid infrastructure is being ripped apart in the name of Net…

📘 Section 4: Grid Destruction and the Forced AC/DC Transition This chapter will examine how the UK’s legacy grid — designed around regional power stations and synchronous AC (alternating current) generation — is being dismantled and re-engineered not in response to engineering needs, but to accommodate intermittent, subsidy-driven renewables, especially offshore wind. This forced transition…

3.1 The Quango Explosion After 2008 The 2008 Climate Change Act not only marked a legal and political shift in UK environmental policy, it also triggered an institutional transformation. At the heart of this shift was the proliferation of quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations (quangos) — public bodies operating at arms-length from ministers, but exercising profound influence…

2.1 The Political Genesis of the Climate Change Act The UK’s Climate Change Act 2008 was the first legislation of its kind in the world: a binding legal obligation for a national government to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. While hailed as visionary by its proponents, the Act did not arise from an energy system…

The National Forest is one of Britain’s major reforestation efforts — turning post-industrial landscapes into a living carbon sink. Felling 2.5 acres of woodland for battery containers is the opposite of what the forest was created for. Woodland isn’t just trees — it’s habitat, carbon sequestration, air cooling, flood protection, and community space. > “If…

That elephant? 🐘The national grid is full. 🚨 The Reality No One Wants to Talk About: ⚡ The grid is overloaded.In region after region, connection queues are years long — or closed altogether. 🛠️ DNOs (Distribution Network Operators) are overwhelmed.Reinforcements are delayed, underfunded, or stuck in red tape until the mid-2030s and beyond. 🧟 We’re…

They told us we could power Britain with sunshine and wind.☁️ Then January 2025 came — and the grid almost collapsed.Now even Ed Miliband admits:💨 Wind and solar aren’t reliable🔥 Gas is essential backup☢️ Only nuclear can keep the lights on💷 And we’ll spend £116 billion+ rebuilding the grid just to try to make it…
