Reliance on wind, that's what the government is full of.
Farmers used to rely on windmills centuries ago. Look what happened. They all became obsolete relics.
@@paulhank7967; Yes, it's called progress, but the loony greens want us to reverse that progress.
Gut wind , to be precise .
Power cuts and electric vehicles...... one more step closer to the public been brought to their knees and being controlled perhaps ?
This hypocrisy is unbeilable. Absolutely ridiculous!
We need nuclear not windmills or solar
The lights will go out once Labour are back in control. Just like the 70’s! 😛
It was a Conservative Edward Heath that caused the power crisis.
Clearly you know nothing about the discontent of the 1970s - for a start Labour were not in Government until 1974 and then Thatcher took power in 1979. For the record, there were more strike days under Ted Heath's Conservative Government than under Labour - as for the power cuts and the 3 day week - this came into force on 31 December 1973 under Ted Heath's Government
I was a kid then?, I loved it. Candles and cardboard boxes. Great fun.
So it was, thank you for putting me straight on that.
Maybe I was thinking of the winter of discontent but that was quite some years later.
From the 70s I remember the blackouts, the short working week, the rubbish piling up in the streets and the dead not been able to be buried. I guess it’s all there in the social history and to be honest it’s not really anything I want to go through again. I love the rock music from that era is my absolute favourite! Thanks again for correcting my error. 🍺

There is no climate crisis.

2004 scientists explaind how the weather and cilmates work of highs and lows, we have just came over the peak height decending to z mini ice age by dropping about 2 degrees over the next thousand years.
Plus they use the hottest area's on earth and use these temperatures in cold cilmates, scammed.
The big worry is the USA military complex spraying micro carbons all over the world and its sufficating the plants & tree's, without the tree's & plants we dont have oxygen. We all die.
UK NetZero policy of shutting down UK production and shipping it over seas. is the equivalent of you having a dog in the garden, then shovelling all the waste over the wall to your neighbour. then claiming that your dog does not poo.
No he isn't, he's been in politics long enough to know exactly what is going on, and it isn't pretty, it's all distraction. He just blags his way through with info snatched from real experts.
what's wrong with Carbon, we depend on carbon to feed plants!
It's the gas of life.
Too much of it warms the planet.
Water vapour in the atmosphere has more of an effect on global temperatures than carbon. Plus 400 ppm of carbon is quite low. They pump co2 into greenhouses for a reason, plants also use more water to photosynthesise when co2 levels are lower. @@dannylad1600

Well if we all had ev's the lights would go out at 5.30 every night. 😂 this country is a joke.
20yrs too late and it will be another 20yrs before they even start building anything if we are lucky
Don't you just love it when reality breaks cover and gets seen.
This is ridiculous, as a Country we’re going backwards, instead of forwards!!
Third world country I think is the term a lot of people are using. 😢
Net zero is the stupidest policy I've ever heard. Utterly stupid and unnecessary.
It's a con .
Bob and pemj must know something intelligent people don't know. Must all be a Chinese conspiracy.
Utterly pointless and unachievable.
Net Suicide you mean!.we already have the highest price per kilo watt electricity in the world we pay 50 cent china pays 10 cent Germany an Spain way cheaper,
Go back to wherever you got your Earth Science PhD from and ask for your money back
How can such incompetence be allowed? People have been warning them again and again that this would be the outcome??

Over 40% of our installed capacity is wind based, 20% is solar. Last year (July 23) wind delivered just 24% of our need, and solar only 5%!
Wind delivered 30% of the UK power demands in 2023.
@@user-br1bg6ld7i average demand in 2023 was 29.6 GW and wind power averaged 9.02 GW. That equates to 30%.
@@dannylad1600 Wind and solar is the most expensive electricity you can get lol. It isn't impressive, it's a fucking joke.

Nigel for Prime Minister
Keep this up Nigel, always on the money with news and views. You have a terrific platform here to speak , the example was the debanking scandal, You had the platform and you were able to call out all the cloak and dagger practices. I’d vote for you anytime

It’s the weather that changes regularly not the climate.
Renewables have to be renewed within 15 years! How do you pay for that ?
This is the result of privatising the power supply industry.
Anyone got any coal,? I'm freezing.😮
Can't you put on a jumper? A true Conservative value.
There's tons under our feet i was told !
This lot are complete donkeys, it must be on purpose that they have failed to plan our energy, housing, public services, NHS and infrastructure because no one could be this incompetent, at least one of the above would be fully working but yet none of the above are working properly, therefore this has to be deliberate sabotage.
I've got bags of smokeless fuel. Asda just reduced them from £9 to £4 for ecoal and bags of truflame to £3.
Took the lot that they had left, stockpiling for next winter.
Indeed, there's hundreds of years worth of coal right under our feet,
All essential services should be owned by the British people
They used to be!!!!! We had no voice just like now!!!
The CEGB was owned by us the people
who’d have thought eh, learn something new every 100 years!!

GREAT.....ILL BUY SOME FROM RUSSIA.
By 2035 we shall be in the midst of a cool period as and when the natural cycles of the Earth come together and create very cold temperatures, far colder than what we have endured in the last few years. I hope by then they have pulled their fingers out and got their act together because otherwise there will be a lot of fatalities.
They'll just turn round and try to convince the masses that all this net zero nonsense worked.
That’s another fine mess you’ve got me into, Rishi! Bigger population, greater energy demand, fewer power plants…. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to, just a gaggle of politicians.
when it's very windy, i get paid to use electricity :D
We found a document online from one of the largest councils in England discussing this issue.
They have been advised that there will never be enough electricity generated by renewables to allow personal car use to continue in its present form.
The proposed solution is to limit personal car use to permitted activities only and everyone else will have to walk, cycle or use public transport.
*_In essence, it is all about control._*
@@alexnelson9512correct
WOW I CAN BUY ANOTHER 60 BILLION TONE,S FROM GERMANY AND RUSSIA...WHO NEED,S UK MINER,S.
Twenty years ago I was saying what Farage is saying now.
we certainly have a lot of wind coming out of government, can't we redirect that ?
Net zero = left with the only humans we feel we should keep.
Primary school kids could run the country better than the shower we have at the moment. Vote Reform.
Renewable energy. Is cheaper we were told . So not only is it more expensive but every pound paid for energy 25 p is a green tax that goes to corrupt. . + 5p vat . We are being lied to and ripped off at the same time
The irony is we could have had a large proportion of our power from nuclear (like the French), but back in the 70s, 80s and 90s we listened to the eco-loons and stopped building. We are producing far more CO2 as a result of doing what the eco-loons told us to. So why on earth we should listen to them now is beyond me.
And today government announced paying three grand to bribe migrants to go to Rwanda ,you really could not make this up
Nigel most of the power stations they allowed to be demolished could easily have been converted years ago to LNG, and would have sustained there work force and all the industries that served to maintain them. I suggest anyone who is interested look back on the work done by the C.E.G.B
To put this in to perspective, to produce 46Mw using gas can be achieved using a local turbine generator taking up half of the size of a football pitch.
Your boilers safe then...😂😂😂😂
Get this government out now
This country is a joke
Well with all the Thousand,s of new private flat.s will need electricity from somewhere.
I despair at the idiots we have making decisions for us!
I wonder if all those who opted for smart meters know that energy suppliers can now remotely switch off their gas and power at the touch of a button.
This government along with previous governments have achieved nothing. It has not dealt with problems that should have been dealt with but dealt with problems that didn't exist.
We as a country are still in the grips of the eu, but being told otherwise. We are still in the ECHR, for instance?
Migrants.
The establishment representatives are playing the most ridiculous tunes with their fiddle, which we have danced to.
All of them are in each others pocket, I suspect, playing a part in the pantomime for us to watch. Most are, in fact, just useless, talentless, blunt tools.

Most stupidest decision ever. All this is by design however, they will be alright however as they will have genrators.
This useless goverment needs to be punished
We should have never reduce our own power we should never have gave away our manufacturing than cost jobs AND cost more buying the product from abroad and shipping it over here ... so we are worse off and not evne reducing it because we still have to transport it here via ... u guessed it SHIPS AND TRUCKS. We also gave more power to other countries who are now telling us what to do ... yeah fantastic strategy ...
Turn the lights out , I'm not scared...
It seems like small modular reactors is the way to go.
Lights out to t9 preserve the cloud facilities that are expanding more n more,also these facilities use so much water to keep the machines cool,thats what results in sea levels reducing not climate change
God help us if Labour get in.
How much did UK paid for that imported 16% ???
ALL MY JOO JOO BEEZ UNITE AS 1
You can't use a gas boiler, but we can build gas power stations, do as we say not as what we do.
Sick of this rip off.
'We're not having a proper, full, honest debate, on this issue'. Hardly a surprise, since not openly and rationally discussing major policies is the default state in this country. We're a democracy in name only.
I believe the Germans are doing very well now! 😂
Get a wind turbine installed in parliament plenty wind in there, at least they'd be doing something useful for once!
About time to get rid of conservetives
Agree Paul
Unrelated. We could have supported green with nuclear and been fine.
Well the miner,s.....did warm you😂
How can you possibly get co2 down when you have an influx of 700.000 people a year net coming here , all leave a carbon footprint
Now smart meters are fitted, electricity RATIONING is possible, as a little man in India 'block' switches off a million meters from thousands of miles away, food rationing as farmers can no longer grow food, national call up as the army cannot recruit any more!
Good that you're finally getting as upset about this as people should have been for decades!
Thank you,...for that..but they just kicked me out..
To put two refugee,a in.
We will all just have to eat beans and fart for electric
Bad news possibly for Australians as gas in being banned in Victoria. And still bad news for Brits as gas prices continue to go up as we import Australian gas?
Eventually be cheaper to go off grid with a generator, solar panels and oil/LPG heating. The push for heat pumps when electricity will more than double. Renewabls are an expensive con. The public are getting sold this green climate emergency fear but not told what it'll cost them personally. It will destroy our economy, manufacturing, chemicals, petrochemicals anything that uses energy particularly high energy users will move to China or India. We'll be sitting shivering, eating bugs and unemployed.
And the windmills are made in China
How about stopping ev charging when theres a power shortage! Which do you want warm homes and life or ev and frezzing to death!!!
South Africa is a cautionary tale. There’s no way we have the incompetence, lack of foresight and ignorance to fall into a black out trap, ……riiiiight?
Why can't we import more wind and solar from the Sahara
I recall your podcast a year ago or so where you introduced an industry insider who had good alternative short to long term plans, I wish you had the power then to implement them as we have one set of ignorant and callous granny freezers about to take over from the last lot.
I’ll buy an EV if the market decides it’s the best option for me. Not some commies in Whitehall…
Net zero in terms of... 0% economic growth...and that's optimistic...LNG is frightfully expensive...simple solution is lift sanctions with Russia...USA still imports nuclear fuel from Russia...UK will have to do the same with any nuclear option...SO RATHER IMPORT RUSSIAN OIL&GAS now...or end up like Germany where Michelin Tyres is closing down, uncompetitive Refineries are switching to other products...sad 😔
Back to coal fired powerstations would solve this theres plenty coal in the ground...
Sitting on loads of coal lets get the mines going lots of jobs and energy
Yeah export jobs, export our CO2 emissions and import the stuff.
It will be far more under risk under labour
U now get me u can cash in your car and there shipped to another country r they not on the earth all a load of bullshit
Nuclear on at 10% at the moment we are getting 11% from France Nuclear at the moment.
So in other words the government have cost the public 50% more for energy, over something that the uk doesn’t need to do.
Anyone would think the uk is one of the biggest countries or continents on the planet the way the government and these climate change clowns go on and on. Yet we in the uk are so small that it makes no difference to the planet what the uk does in the form of going green. In fact even if the uk was completely green energy it would make no difference what so ever to the planet.
When are the government and politicians going to stop conning the public in the uk. They are only making energy companies richer for no reason what so ever.
Going net zone in the uk is pointless.
When the uk closed its 5 coal power stations not only did it send the cost of energy up by 50%, but over 3000+ coal power stations have opened around the world. Stop being mugged off.
As for wind farms they are pointless in the uk, a total waste of money. The average wind speed in the uk is to high for them to work to give 5he uk the energy it needs.
If the uk want to have green energy then the best and free form is wave energy, as shown in the 1970’s, but wave energy would give the uk everything it needs and would be cheap to set up and run. To the point it would pay for itself within a couple of years meaning the energy would end up being free.
Again stop being mugged off by wind farms that are pointless, that need fossil fuels to run and maintain them. When are the people going to wake up to the con?
then how comes uk is so black if its clean....tooo many cars....nuclear is the answer until we lick nuclear fusion
Our tiny island - we should be looking at the likes of Russia and China
Ill still be able to go to work poor ev drivers won't
Who is that guy. ? ?
(net suicide) the blind leading the blind!
You will own nothing and be happy.
Coal is still our future
Plenty of natural gas in politics
