I read that the main reason for UK's mad policy of #NetZero is that ex-Prime Minister Theresa May wanted a 'legacy'. To make the country poor, cold, bankrupt and a global laughing stock is a very weird thing to want to be remembered for!

Oh dear Wind power fails yet again Its making just 5% of our electricity Which is only 20% of our total energy needs So wind = 5% of 20% = just 1% of our total energy Utterly pathetic after 30 years of squandering public money on medieval technology! We must be nuts!

Good words from Lord Frost tonight 'Windmills were cutting edge new technology when Henry II (1133-1189) was KIng' 'Today we have windmills plus backup. Why not just have the backup?'

The chart below was used to terrify folks I was cycling within the red region of France (Sarlat, Dordogne) on 14 July - Bastille Day. As I often have before Nothing at all unusual temperature wise. Just an ordinary summer's day. Don't be duped by the scaremongers.

'Hospitals might get unusually busy' does not seem to me a good enough reason to Lock Up 68,000,000 fit and healthy people for a year, nor to wreck the education of 10,000,000 children. And the collateral damage on our society and our economy is catastrophic. Comments?

Serious question. If it weren't for the media, how would you know there was a COVID 'epidemic' at all? I wouldn't. Nobody I know has caught it..and most of my friends are 50+

Energy perspective : This ordinary commercial petrol tanker stores about as much energy as the 'biggest battery storage installation in Europe' To fill the tanker costs ~£30,000 including taxes. The battery storage cost £75,000,000

Without 'tests', would we even know that this was anything other than the Annual NHS Winter Crisis? Discuss..

'Selfish'? 'Open up the country and let 68,000,000 people live their lives as they choose' vs 'I am terrified of Covid so YOU must all foul up your lives to save Me, Me, Me'

An Unwelcome Truth? India has more people than all 'the West' combined China has more people than all 'the West' combined Africa has more people than all 'The West' combined. And none of them give a flying fig about Western preoccupations with 'isms' and climate change.

Puzzled by why the Electric Vehicle Revolution is failing at an increasing rate? i It's very simple Makers have been making the cars that politicians want to meet their political objectives But they're not cars that people actually want to buy! They've forgotten the customer!
