"Green" policies are destroying this country

hopefully they’ll be shown the door also.

legislation can be changed with a flick of pen when needs be.

Oh well I guess we’ll teach those targets by destroying our jobs, lives, environment & enslave our great grandkids kids to debt.

Not with ER in power- No.

Show us your workings based on this page so.

You forgot to link to the page about non-Nordic electricity interconnection.

EDIT: ah, quoted post deleted, the penny must be slowly dropping, at last.

This is why the European Commission is proposing the Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism. No doubt you are opposed to that too.

how long should we give ourselves to get to net zero? 2120?

Yay, more tariffs is exactly what we need. Handy when the EU has farmed out much of the heavy industry to other countries.

Personally, I think we'll get there long before 2120. Honestly, looking at current technology and where they are in development, RICE running on H2, large scale H2 production and storage, SMRs (hopefully), carbon capture on cars, tidal (although I have my doubts on this one), we should start to see step changes in technology in the early 2030's.

I don't think we should stop moving towards reducing emissions but it needs to be a workable solution that is cheap, reliable, and cleaner. Until we have the tech to replace fossil fuels at their current prices, outside the EU as we seem determined to self destruct before we ever get there, it's not workable. Our entire civilisation is built on cheap reliable energy, anything that doesn't tick all those boxes isn't going to work.

We get to net zero, a tiny tiny decrease in global emissions and flush our economy down the sink in the process, while the worlds top 5 emitters are emitting 60% of the planet`s CO2 with China, the top emitter supplying us with the tech to pull the chain using coal to do it.

You care to explain the rational behind that ?

I would be delighted if energy bills were to come down. However, all experience to date suggests the complete opposite will happen for some time to come. We have to spend an extraordinary amount of money on the grid to even get to point where we can conceivably connect all these onshore and offshore plants.

The can on green targets will be kicked all the way down the yellow brick road and never met. None of these fantasy targets will ever be met, sure Germany is burning more coal than it did in the last 10 years so please explain how the largest economy in Europe has brought forward it's renewable plans because of Putin's war when the opposite is true and please don't drop a hundred links to some green German wet dream 10 years away.

Alexander Bethe, chairman of the Board of the Berlin-based Association of Coal Importers, is sure of that: "This winter, we will certainly import over 30 million tonnes (33 million US tons) of hard coal to keep our power stations in operation. That would be 11% up on 2021."

It wasn`t renewables that brought down the price of gas. It was LNG, and had the rest of Europe followed the Irish Green Party policy on storage and LNG, prices would still be rising.

Countries can bring forward all the renewable plans they want, with the Marginal Pricing Policy it is not going to reduce bills by a cent.
