….. and what about the alledged mining practices in africa with kids.
Clean planet is very different issue to CO2, don’t conflate the two. CO2 is food for plants, it is necessary for plant growth.
Two things that I can't get my head around.
We are destroying the environment, allegedly, to save it. What's wrong with this picture?
We are relegating a proven reliable generation source, to a backup roll. To add to the stupidity. We are replacing it with an unreliable intermittent generating source. In what reality does that make sense?
In my reality, I only retire my existing technology when a superior alternative presents itself.
What state will this country be in, after another three and a half years of this bunch of amateurs?
Net Zero is the be all and end all for this government. Everything else is sacrificed on the alter of Net Zero, more accurately, the alter of stupidity.
The SILICON WAFFER'S that make up 99 % of solar panels are made and processed in China by forced labour ……. solar panels are a red herring …… you have to ask where the SILICON WAFFER'S come from and who made them ?????????
95% of silicon for solar panels is produced in China . It takes about 10 tons of coal to produce 1 ton of silicon and requires prisoners chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid wich is fatal with contact to the skin . The price of energy in the uk and europe plus health and safety rules would prevent it being manufactured here .
British and European businesses sold out the UK and EU manufacturing industry years ago for cheap Chinese labour and no human rights profits, and now we've lost our industry to China only now are people complaining? The bizarre reason I think is China has stolen all manufacturing IP and they are now undercutting British and EU businesses products owners with companies like TAMU selling very cheap. Once they break and bankrupt the UK and European companies, business owners and Banks the prices will increase again, significantly. Just think, competition rules for UK and European companies used against them, and I see US owners now complaining about IP theft. Moral is, be careful who you get into bed with……😂
Solar farm today, failure tomorrow, good food producing land turned to a brown field site for housing and profit. SCUM.
Not worried about the backdoor switch to turn them off that China has installed on their solar panels?
Who owns all this land?
With the way people are against all this crap, i wouldn't be surprised if it got sabotaged before it was finished
How about using that amount of land for food?
Miliband is a crazy fanatic! solar farms are so destructive. They are big bug zappers, the farmland is ruined too! China supplies them and they use slave labor. Nothing good will come from this
Completely flippin mad
Uk working people not much difference under the labour party
Where is the evidence or is it fake news
This is massive violation of our human rights. This Fabian net zero policy should have put to the vote definitely. Chna is phasing in their net zero programme gradually and sensibly.
For over a century scientists have known that the claim that CO2 affects temperature had been proven incorrect, that "greenhouse" theory was seriously flawed. Yet it was resurrected.. why? For POLITICAL purposes. It is simply an excuse for imposing taxes, the removal of our rights and freedoms and the restriction of our access to cheap, reliable energy.
THE EVOLUTION OF CLIMATE

WITH A PREFACE BY
G. C. SIMPSON, D. Sc., F.R.S.,
DIRECTOR OF THE METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE
1922
"The theory which connects fluctuations of climate on a geological scale with changes in the composition of the earth's atmosphere is due to Tyndall and Arrhenius, and was elaborated by Chamberlin. The theory supposed that the earth's temperature is maintained by the 'blanketing' effect of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This acts like the glass of a greenhouse, allowing the sun's rays to enter unhindered, but absorbing the heat radiated from the earth's surface and returning some of it to the earth instead of letting it pass through to be lost in space. Consequently, any diminution in the amount of carbon dioxide present would cause the earth to radiate away its heat more freely, so reducing its temperature. BUT IT IS NOW KNOWN THAT THE TERRESTRIAL RADIATION WHICH THIS GAS IS CAPABLE OF ABSORBING IS TAKEN UP EQUALLY READILY BY WATER VAPOUR, OF WHICH THERE IS ALWAYS SUFFICIENT PRESENT, AND VARIATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE CANNOT HAVE ANY APPRECIABLE EFFECT"
Still true today:
Ferenc Miskolczi: Greenhouse Effect and Climate Change
2023
"The greenhouse effect predicted by the Arrhenius greenhouse theory is inconsistent with the existence of the CRE (Chandrasekhar-type radiative equilibrium). Hence, the CO2 greenhouse effect as used in the current global warming hypothesis is impossible. Let us emphasize the overall conclusion:
The Arrhenius type GE (greenhouse effect) of CO2 and other non-condensing GHGs (greenhouse gases) is an incorrect hypothesis and the CO2 greenhouse effect based global warming hypothesis is also an artefact without any theoretical or empirical footing. Without scientific proof the debate on the CO2 GE based catastrophic AGW (anthropogenic global warming) should be abandoned and policymakers should focus on the more urgent environmental and social issues of humanity. The recent worldwide energy crisis is a warning sign that the promotion of the so-called green energy is neither solving energy shortages nor helping to protect the environment from pollution. The climate does not need protection, but the clean environment does."
'Greenhouse by CO2' theory was proven wrong by Knut Angstrom in 1900 in a paper debunking Svante Arrhenius' 1896 paper, the one all these alarmists quote. In 1906, Arrhenius reviewed his earlier work, acknowledged his errors and concluded that any additional SLIGHT warming that MIGHT come from CO2 would be 'benign and beneficial'.
"we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates, especially as regards the colder regions of the earth, ages when the earth will bring forth much more abundant crops than at present, for the benefit of rapidly propagating mankind."
None of the alarmists quote this later work. Funny, that.
THERE IS NO CASE FOR NET ZERO, EV'S, HEAT PUMPS, 'RENEWABLES' OR ANY OTHER 'GREEN SOLUTION'. THERE IS NO 'CLIMATE CRISIS'.
The man is insane.
Miliband don't care about slaves he doesn't care about the farmers he just wants there land for his agenda
We have to have Miliband stopped. He's taking fields from our farmers so they cannot grow food as Miliband wants their fields for solar panels. China again involved!!!!! we will see blackouts this winter and many elderly will die.
It's all about money in "special" bank accounts, imo. Also remember Chines solar panels have a built in off switch controlled by China.
Kathryn Porter, has all the facts on so called renewables
Turbines are the most innifichent form energy production.
Britain is the worst place in the world to have solar panels.
Its obviously failing thats why Mad Ed is doubling down he's like a gambler trying to get back his loses, he's a loser.
