Ed Miliband leans on EU to turbocharge wind turbine blitz
Ed Miliband is joining forces with the EU to launch a major industrial push in the North Sea, pledging to work with European allies to build an estimated 10,000 wind turbines from the coasts of Denmark to Yorkshire. However, the plans are expected to come under scrutiny amid concerns that connected European energy projects risk pushing prices up and higher bills for consumers.
Starmer in on-going link up with EU over Net Zero double tax
Keir Starmer's Government is in "ongoing" talks with the EU to align Britain on two types of net zero taxation. The Emissions Trading Scheme and a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will pile more costs onto consumers and are an act of national self-harm by the government.
Farmers strike blow against Miliband’s Net Zero pylons
Hundreds of farmers have won the right to challenge alleged misconduct of an energy company building pylons across the Welsh countryside. Accusations include surveyors crossing onto land without permission or disregarding biosecurity protocols in areas where tuberculosis was rife.
Dale Vince: heat pumps have been mis-sold

GMB: UK energy industry faces collapse
Britain’s energy industry faces collapse thanks to Labour’s “chaotic and needless” rundown of the oil and gas sector, one of its biggest union backers has warned. The GMB has backeda new report by the Jobs Foundation, that warns 200 jobs per week are being lost because of Labour’s ban on North Sea exploration and taxes that are swallowing up companies’ entire profits. Scotland secretary of the GMB suggests the effects on jobs and communities of Labour’s net zero policies will be worse than the effects of the closure of coal mines in the 1980s.
