Free speech versus cancel culture: People who threaten & incite violence should be cancelled. But bans don't refute bigoted ideas. They leave them to fester. Bigots should be protested & never given a free pass argues @PeterTatchell https://t.co/dqu1LqRtf4

New inquiry into how the UK can (?) cut fossil fuels and accelerate net zero transition

Re-writing the laws of physics is not an option. The only thing accelerating at the moment is the downward spiral into energy poverty for ever larger numbers of the population, in manic pursuit of the mystical ‘net zero’ climate target. Another trip to cloud cuckoo land beckons for these blinkered climate obsessives.

The Environmental Audit Committee announced the inquiry in response to the rise in fossil fuel prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and continued speculation on what will be included in the government’s Energy Security Strategy, reports Energy Live News.
The Committee believes protecting consumers from high fossil fuel prices and fuel poverty while ensuring security of supply and continued progress towards net zero is critical for any strategy on energy security to be successful.

The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It
02 Apr 2022 Leave a comment
The idea that unreliable wind and solar can save the planet is one of the greatest lies, ever told.
In touting their purported environmental credentials, the crony capitalists, rent-seekers and fawning advocates never take into account any of the associated costs.
It’s all sunshine and suitably stiff breezes, as far as the wind and sun cult is concerned.
At the heart of economics is the need to account for all costs and weigh them against any purported benefits.
Then, and only then, can a net benefit of any chosen course of action be determined.
With the unreliables there are the obvious costs: the need for every single MW of wind or solar capacity to be backed up every single minute of the day by a MW of dispatchable power generation capacity (ordinarily coal, gas or nuclear); the need to build capacity and transmission network to bring wind and solar power…

Not Green: Eagles Constant Victims of Wind Industry’s Endless Bird Slaughter
01 Apr 2022 Leave a comment
With the world’s wind turbines slicing and dicing thousands of eagles, owls, hawks, and kites every day, wind farms are more slaughterhouses than power generators.
Millions of tonnes of beneficial bugs get splattered annually, along with millions of birds and bats, some of them being among the last of their kind. At the apex of the avian carcass heap are the thousands of eagles, wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles – like the critically endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle, but 60m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350Kph routinely smash them out of existence. Although, as this story from the Netherlands details, the victims often die a slow and horrible death.
