Another example of how ‘net zero’ dogma is going to be highly disruptive and expensive for energy customers, all in the name of appeasing climate obsessives.

Installing a heat pump will require one in three homes to have an electricity upgrade, a power company has said.
Heat pumps and electric car chargers will mean a big increase in a household’s electricity demand, with many older properties requiring upgrades that can cost thousands of pounds, though most companies are planning to start “socialising” the cost by spreading it out among bills, says the Telegraph.
Western Power Distribution (WPD), which manages the electricity network for the Midlands, South Wales and the South West, said providing power to heat homes was one of the “biggest challenges” of the heat pump rollout.
“We anticipate that this will lead to the…

Religious school tells parents it will apply its religious beliefs

The above heading doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? Isn’t that what one would expect, that a school set up to educate students in a particular religious view would apply those beliefs in its practices? But the press in Australia sees it differently, apparently. “School rules: Brisbane college expects students to denounce homosexuality” is the way that the Sydney Morning Herald puts it (Jan 31).

Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
01 Feb 2022 Leave a comment
Topping the list of things that seemed like a good idea at the time sits wind and solar power.
What, with the energy sources that drive them free and natural; with no visible emissions of spent gas or fumes; with their shiny panels harvesting the sun’s rays and delivering electricity for five or six hours a day (rain and cloud cover permitting); with their majestic 50-60m blades lovingly caressing benevolent breezes and thereby ‘powering’ hundreds of thousands of homes (around-the-clock, according to wind industry marketing blurb), why wouldn’t the gullible masses be sucked into the belief that sunshine and breezes will soon deliver all of our energy needs, forevermore?
That was then. This is now.
The increasing reliance on the unreliables has been revealed for what it is: sheer lunacy.
But this is stupidity with a kicker: the blackouts caused by sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind and solar output…
