What big things have happened in energy in the past week? 🤔 🟢The de facto onshore wind ban lifted 🟢 A new Ministerial team at Department for Energy Security and Net Zero established 🟢The launch of a new Mission Control centre with Chris Stark 🟢A National Wealth Fund TaskForce announced Here’s Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, showing us the pace we’re moving at to make Britain a clean energy superpower 👇
You’ve set some very high expectations for week 2! 👍
Oh lordy, Britain is doomed with these Orwellian Energy Insanity Initiatives. ● 》It is clear that Energy Secretary Ed Miliband is functionally *Energy Illiterate* and is determined to totally undermine Britain's energy security. Following Germany's massively failed 10 years of "green" energy policies has not only destroyed Germany's energy security, but has also wrecked Germany's economy. Britain now enthusiastically wants to destroy its own energy security and its own economy. Some countries are slow learners. And Britain apparently wants to jump to the head of the Slow Learners Self-Immolation Queue. Good luck with that.
He’d do better studying some physics, in my opinion. But game-changers don’t need thermodynamics, do they Kane Watkinson ? They just need shiny things.
What a waste of the pristine and costly for taxpayers and ratepayers. May the honeymoon be brief,
Sounds like a toilet flushing... There goes your tax dollars.
"Nut-Zero" resulting in millions of zero bank accounts in a woke exercise of futility.
Great news, I can’t wait for our standing charges to increase, alongside power cuts and eventually black-outs. You guys will de-industrialise the UK in next to no time. Nothing like outsourcing carbon emissions👍
Is the wealth fund PFI? I am sceptical of off balance sheet vehicles such as PFI. I would like to see PFI on balance sheets. You must be transparent - historically, PFI has been an inflexible rip off. However, right now we are in dire straits. The economy needs a good kickstart. Maybe it’s time for a wealth tax on assets above 10 million? Many grew super rich from the printing of money during Covid - with disasterous consequences for those at the lower end. How about closing the loopholes that allow someone to take a loan out against shares… or at least, tax that loan as if the shares were realised. I welcome the acceleration towards clean energy independence. Ultimately, everything we pay for is driven by the cost of energy. With cheaper, clean homegrown energy - we all win. Plus, cheap energy has the potential to attract energy intensive industries to this country. All those AI data centres - yes please! (But recycle the heat from them - maybe to warm up Sunaks pool?)
Winters of discontent are coming, get the candles ready !!

4dWelcome the positivity 😊 looking forward to see how you support not only decarbonisation of the electricity industry by 2030 and include all the inter connectors linking the UK and Europe of unknown’s of coal, nuclear, gas from other countries, which is currently not counted in National Grids calculations. https://www.nationalgrideso.com/future-energy/our-progress-towards-net-zero/carbon-intensity-dashboard It would also be amazing if you could provide Industry a roll out time line for Hydrogen in the North West and Midlands area. Finally we are over £120MW in 3rd Party charges plus paying REGOs at £10 to £15 MW plus wholesale charge making the UK very expensive to do business in…. All the best look forward to seeing positive change
