Net Zero is a far-left tyrannical Death Star, cloaking state control as climate action. It crushes free markets with subsidies & bans. Time to fight for freedom! #NetZeroTyranny (1/11) Image
On the Political Compass, Net Zero is far-left: massive subsidies for renewables, bans on oil/gas, & Soviet-style plans like Miliband’s Clean Power 2030. No free market here! #NetZero (2/11) Image
Net Zero is peak authoritarianism. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) overrides Parliament, mandating how we heat homes, drive, & eat. Tyranny, not progress! #FreedomVsNetZero (3/11) Net Zero is a far-left tyrannical death star
Energy Act 2023 gives gov’t power to control your EV chargers, fridges, & washing machines. Net Zero means Big Brother in your home. Resist! #NetZeroTyranny (4/11)
CCC wants 1/3 less meat, half the livestock, & “alternative proteins” (think insects). UKFIRES plans to shut airports and ban beef & lamb by 2050. This is dystopian! #NetZero (5/11)
The Behavioural Insights Team (aka Nudge Unit) pushes meat taxes, pricey flights, & propaganda in TV dramas. They’re manipulating your choices to enforce compliance. #WakeUp (6/11)
National Energy System Operator plans to HALVE energy use per person & charge more at peak times. Net Zero puts the grid over your needs. But there's no low energy rich countries & life expectancy is correlated to GDP #EnergyFreedom (7/11) Image
Net Zero zealots show Dark Triad traits: narcissism (soup on art), Machiavellianism (media manipulation), & psychopathy (ignoring economic ruin). #NetZeroTruth (8/11)
The Energy Jedi are rising! NZ lifts oil/gas bans, Trump exits Paris Accords, & EU wavers. Freedom & markets will destroy the Net Zero Death Star. #EnergyJedi (9/11)
UK’s Net Zero policies face scrutiny, but the Climate Change Act stands. Keep firing proton torpedoes to end this tyranny! Join the fight! #DestroyNetZero (10/11) The Energy Jedi will destroy the Net Zero Death Star

Late last month, the CCC released their Methodology Report that gave a little more insight into their thinking, or lack thereof, when they produced the 7th Carbon Budget. How did they get it so wrong. A thread 🧵(1/n) The Climate Change Committee have revealed how they made their errors in the 7th Carbon Budget.
First up, they assume even lower costs for fixed-bottom offshore wind than the Government's woeful Generation Cost report from 2023. The CCC's assumed costs for 2030 are less than half the value of contract awards in last year's AR6 auction. (2/n) Image
Floating offshore wind is even more expensive and being offered £245/MWh in AR7, some six times more than the CCC's estimate for 2030 delivery. Worse, the CCC shows a declining cost trend, whereas recent auctions have shown an upward trend in prices (3/n)

Last week, the Government released new data about energy costs in the UK & EU, and by extension the developed world. The bad news is that the UK still has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. But what else is going on in the data? A thread 🧵(1/n) UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe, about double the EU median
The chart above is for medium consumers, where UK prices are 89% higher than EU14 median. Large & v. large UK user prices are 132% & 113% respectively higher than the EU14 median. Very large UK users pay 22.32p/kWh compared to the lowest Finland with just 4.19p/kWh (2/n) UK large industrial electricity prices are well above those of France, Germany and the EU14 median
But it can't be gas driving these eyewatering electricity costs because UK industrial gas prices are below the EU14 median (3/n) Image

The data is in for CfD subsidies in April 2025. Overall subsidies are down from April last year, but subsidies per MWH are up. What is going on? A thread 🧵(1/n) Market Price and Subsidy per MWH for offshore wind, onshore wind and solar in April 2025.
Overall subsidies for April 2025 came in at £155m across all technologies. This is slightly up on March 2025 (£152m) but much lower than April 2024 (£270m) (2/n) Image
Sounds like a move in the right direction until you look at generation. The fall in subsidies was mostly driven by a big drop in offshore wind generation. April 2025 delivered 1,263GWh, down form 2,237GWh in 2024 and lower than April 2023's 1,287GWh (3/n) Image

Ofgem just cut the price cap for Jul-Sep 2025. What's been driving our electricity bills since the price cap came into force? Mostly Net Zero stuff. A thread 🧵(1/n) Net Zero related charges have done most to increase our electricity bills since the price cap came into force.
Overall bills (including VAT) including both gas and electricity have fallen by £129 or 7%. Interestingly, those on prepayment meters pay less than those on direct debit (2/n) Image
However, gas-bills fell by 9.3%, or £81 which is more than the average cut for the whole bill. Of the ex-VAT total of £797, about £408 is the price of gas with most of the rest being gas network costs, supplier operating costs & profit (3/n)

The institutions were out in force claiming renewables are cheap in their evidence to the ESNZ Cost of Energy Inquiry. This amounts to an industrial-scale effort to gaslight the public and mislead Parliament because renewables are much more expensive than gas. A thread 🧵(1/n)
DESNZ claimed more clean power would lead to lower bills (2/n) Image
Ovo Energy and the Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy's captive think tank both claimed renewables were cheap (3/n) Image

The Energy and Net Zero Committee in Parliament is running an inquiry into the cost of energy. I submitted evidence to explain why our electricity prices are so high and how to reduce them. A thread 🧵(1/n) Image
Their first question asked whether the costs & benefits of the energy system are reflected in consumer bills. Well, we can certainly see the costs, because the IEA found we had the most expensive domestic and industrial electricity prices in the developed world (2/n) Image
Image
The benefits are more difficult to discern. UK CO2 emissions are just 0.8% of the global total and GDP per capita has all but stagnated since the CCA. Our emissions have plummeted while emissions and growth in the rest of the world have soared (3/n) Image
