Enough with the Net Zero vanity projects, let's actually power the country

Honestly, the sheer amount of money and political capital being poured into these grand renewable schemes, while our actual energy security feels like an afterthought, is infuriating. Every time I see another wind farm proposal or hear about some carbon capture fantasy, I just think about my own electricity bill and whether the lights will stay on this winter. We’re chasing ghosts while the real infrastructure crumbles.

My proposal is simple: we need a massive, pragmatic investment in reliable, baseload power. That means revisiting nuclear. Not just small modular reactors, but proper, large-scale plants that can actually provide consistent power 24/7. And let's be honest about gas. We're not going to ditch it overnight. We should be investing in cleaner gas technologies and ensuring we have secure domestic supply, rather than relying on volatile international markets.
