We’ll all suffer for eco zealots. Peter Hitchens.
The wind often doesn’t blow when it’s very cold. This is even more obvious than the matching fact that the sun isn’t usually very warm in winter. But the ‘net zero’ zealots, who ceaselessly exaggerate the ability of ‘renewables’ to keep this country going, can’t cope with these facts.
So what will we do? Suffer, I expect. I read of plans to ‘run extra coal-fired plants’. But green fanatics ensured most of them were not mothballed but blown up. I think I am the only person who ever protested against this arrogant, clueless folly.
Power cuts are increasingly likely, as our ancient nuclear generators are wearing out. Even France, and the other countries we turn to in trouble, can’t always spare electricity to save us. The one thing that will not happen is a rethink of our utopian, wild green policy. Criticism of it is barely tolerated, and nobody in politics dares oppose it. Mail.
