If the UN is concerned about world hunger, maybe they should call a halt to all of the agricultural Net Zero and rewilding projects being undertaken in Europe and elsewhere, all in the name of climate change”
$3.8 trillion of investment in renewables moved fossil fuels from 82% to 81% of the overall energy consumption. It is apparent that renewable energy is not going anywhere fast
"It would be both absurd and counterproductive for government to bail out the wind industry in spite of the evident failure to reduce costs. A refusal to learn from mistakes will be disastrous”
A lesson to learn: If wind power is so cheap, then why is it that retail power prices continue to rocket in every country attempting to run on breezes?

"Reasonable people will conclude that the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street has lost the plot, and will ask themselves whether this is why the inflation target has been so badly missed”
The clear exception to this rule is the UK, where financial data is freely available for all offshore windfarms and many large onshore ones (as well as a few solar parks).
“The government are sacrificing everything on the altar of their Net Zero dogma: economic security and national security just don’t seem to matter to them any longer.”
Stand up, governors, before your backbone dissolves to the point of allowing this administration to illegitimately withhold from us our own resources and lock us behind our own doors… again.
“Cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather, according to an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries.” Twenty times more people die from the cold than the heat!
