By Paul Homewood https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/13/next-conservative-government-ditch-ban-petrol-cars/ I briefly mentioned the Tories’ about turn on the petrol car ban. What was not clear was whether Kemi Badenoch would also ditch the ZEV mandate. Her interview with the Telegraph makes clear it will be ditched. The Telegraph reports:

Radical environmentalists like Michael Mann are organizing, teaching, and shaping the next generation in ways that are anti-human, anti-freedom, and anti-Western. Thus far, they’ve done so unopposed. But conservatives can’t continue to cede this battlefield.

They shoot, they miss, we score. David Wojick reports on the laughable failure of alarmists in his CFACT article Attack on DOE Climate Report is a comedy of criticism. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images. The DOE science report saying the impact of CO2 on climate is exaggerated was quickly followed by […]

By Paul Homewood Why is the price of electricity so high? It’s a puzzle, because successive politicians (Blair, Cameron, May, Johnson and now Starmer and Miliband) and lots of lobbyists have told us we should have expected quite the opposite: cheap energy, to be achieved by getting out of fossil fuels. First exit […]

By Paul Homewood The King has attracted criticism for becoming directly involved in political issues. He has shared a rare message on energy transition, which was read by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband at a summit focused on the future of energy security.

California’s refining capacity is collapsing—not because demand has disappeared, but because it is being deliberately dismantled by regulatory fiat. The recent announcement that Valero Energy will idle or shutter its Benicia refinery by 2026 isn’t just a business decision. It’s the calculated result of a hostile policy environment designed to punish traditional energy producers until they either leave the state or fall into government hands.

“Little doubt that civil disobedience makes the perpetrator feel virtuous. But the anti-CO2, anti-industrialization movement is at war with society, reality, and itself. This fringe is urged to question a false cause with study and reflection … Real environmentalism please!”

As if we didn’t know…’A large increase in energy storage will be critical to ensuring a clean power system by 2030′ – ELN summary. Two problems there: it’s unaffordable and impractical. Using words like ‘must’ and ‘critical’ is just foot-stamping, leading nowhere. Where would all the storage come from in that timescale, or any timescale […]

Climate scientist Michael Mann won $1 million in a defamation lawsuit against writer Mark Steyn. However the damages have been reduced to $5,000 due to false claims by Mann about lost grants. Some extracts from the recent court ruling: It seems Dr Mann has done more damage to his own reputation through this lawsuit, than […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
