Ed Miliband’s Dark Green Money Network
An investigation by The Spectator has exposed the Dark Green Money networks behind the ideological capture of Westminster.
This week’s cover piece reveals the monied interests behind a dense ecosystem of funders, think tanks, campaign groups and policy organisations that have helped shape Britain’s net zero debate. Also read this article in the Telegraph on the European Climate Foundation.
British families face blackouts this winter
Miliband’s aggressive Net Zero targets and wind power drive made our grid dangerously fragile last week as operators were forced to use emergency powers and abruptly cut off electricity exports. Experts warn this risks triggering friction with our European neighbours who could now retaliate by cutting off the vital energy imports Britain relies on during the colder winter months.
Japan cuts LNG imports in favour of coal
Japan last month reduced gas-fired generation in favour of coal as the price of liquefied natural gas remained elevated, according to data from the nine largest Japanese power utilities. Japan has been burning more coal and less gas for power generation since the war in the Middle East started, and it is not the only one. All Asian countries have made the switch from gas to coal on affordability and availability grounds.
Judith Curry: the era of “climate stupidity” is done.
Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry says “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on,” as major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations ease back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.

SMMT warns that the EV mandate is harming manufacturers
The British car industry has told a new Labour leadership that government electric vehicle policies are hurting UK manufacturers. A report from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says the current zero emission vehicle mandate, which fines carmakers not producing enough electric cars, will result in a loss of inward investment and British jobs.
Burnham should ditch DESNZ, says Ecotricity founder
Spending billions on green policy is indefensible in a cost of living crisis, Labour donor and renewables boss Dale Vince has said. He warned many of the party’s net zero initiatives were “plainly a bad use of money” and we could scrap carbon capture and heat pump budgets to fund defence.
