Here’s a pub quiz question: which European country has no net zero target? I don’t mean which country is not bothering too much about conforming with its net zero target, because that is most of them, but which one doesn’t even have such a target in the first place? The surprising answer is Norway.
LAST WEEK Ed Miliband was celebrating the news that wind power had overtaken gas as the biggest source of Britain’s electricity last year.
Three days later the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero was missing in action when we nearly ran out of electricity.
Are we about to find out the full foolishness of Ed Miliband’s policy of blocking licences for new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea?
While it may come as a surprise to some, until New Year’s Eve Europe was still receiving gas supplies from Russia ….
TEN years ago, Ed Miliband promised a million new green jobs by 2030. He’s not the only one, of course, to make such extravagant pledges.
The reality, as you might have guessed, is somewhat different.
In 2022, according to the study, British businesses were paying more than double what U.S. businesses pay for electricity. Legislators rushing to pass virtuous energy laws often overlook the very quantifiable negative economic impact such policies may have on citizens’ lives.
