Enough with the Net Zero Madness, Let's Get Real About Energy

I’m sick to death of hearing about Net Zero targets that seem to ignore basic physics and economics. We're meant to just wave a magic wand and have this perfect green energy system overnight, while people freeze and industries collapse. It’s not just impractical, it’s cruel. The government needs to stop chasing ideological purity and start thinking about what actually keeps the lights on and our economy moving.

We need a serious, long-term energy strategy that prioritises security and affordability. That means acknowledging that fossil fuels, particularly gas, will remain a crucial part of the mix for decades to come. Instead of rushing to shut down existing infrastructure and banning new exploration, we should be investing in cleaner ways to use them, like carbon capture and storage, and ensuring we have robust domestic supply.
