ENERGY POLICY
The man-made climate emergency narrative is a scientifically fraudulent globalist scam aimed at taxation theft and Orwellian communist control of society, it must be firmly rejected.
Climate has and always will change naturally, and we should pivot policy to the adaption rather than the prevention approach. This will be vastly more cost effective and it will immediately remove one of the key drivers to our present cost of living crisis, net zero energy policy.
Renewable energy is expensive and inefficient when compared to hydrocarbon or nuclear however it does have a part to play in self-sufficient energy independence and a decentralised varied portfolio of energy generation is certainly more risk resilient than one with a central single source. Furthermore, research and development within the renewable sector can offer potential for advancements in other industries and ultimately ‘thinking renewable energy’ is the right thinking.
I am an advocate of the deep earth gas theory as put forward by scientists such as Thomas Gold. Hydrocarbons are upwelling from deep within the earth, they have been doing this since the cold formation of the planet and they will continue to do this for a very long time indeed, there really is no shortage of natural oil, gas and black coals on the planet. Lignite and peat based brown coals are the only ‘fossil fuels’ on the planet, they are more immediately finite than continuously upwelling hydrocarbons so extraction and use of them should fall under stricter control. Any shortage scaremongering derives either from profiteering corporate price manipulation or the nefarious pursuit of a world government narrative involving subjugation of the many to an unelected power-hungry minority.
The demonisation and climate hysteria surrounding the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a harmful false narrative. The science debunking runaway refractive feedback is clear as are the data manipulations and omissions in the original IPCC alarmist ‘hockey stick’ graph and with each passing year the predictive warming models look more and more ridiculous when compared against recent recorded data. Net zero is bringing the western world into poverty and authoritarianism and it has introduced politics and censorship into the hallowed ground of genuine scientific enquiry. That is something which most certainly is not in the best interest of humanity, and it must be rejected in every way possible for the common good. Carbon dioxide levels are in fact very low and higher levels will green the planet and bring abundance, the earth is barely at 50% of its estimated global mean temperature so there really is nothing to panic about at all, apart from corrupt politicians and a mainstream media both shamefully complicit in a vision of dystopian one world governance.
We can thank our entrepreneurial American cousins for being the guinea pigs with regard to shale gas extraction and with 25 years of commercial production at scale the data speaks for itself. A better understanding of pressure differentials whilst extracting and depositing waste water back into deep geology has mitigated the minor strength earthquake issue and advancements in well bore construction and regulations surrounding the industry have greatly reduced environmental concerns. Shale gas extraction is safe, it is cost effective and is now deployed at vast scale in America and Canada and the industry is rapidly being adopted by China, Argentina and others around the world. Nothing we do is ever safe, driving, flying, traditional oil drilling etc but on a cost benefit analysis shale gas extraction should remain an option on the table for the UK. That said I personally believe that the UK doesn’t need to embark upon large scale commercial development of its shale industry at this point in time, energy policy recovery can be done in other ways and due to the small land area and high population density of our Islands I would put it as an option of last resort and would not support anything other than small scale test drilling at present.
The fraud, bullying and profiteering of climate alarmism has now been exposed, the cat is out of the bag and we have a duty to move on, learn vital lessons and recover as soon as possible.
Hydrocarbon and nuclear energy sources will drive human progress forward for many decades to come and hopefully the next paradigm shift is not too far beyond the event horizon. Until then the reinstatement of self-sufficient oil, gas, coal and nuclear production as the main constituent of our energy policy will quickly improve our cost of living crisis, it will pave the way for the re shoring of our heavy industries and it will rapidly improve our strategic energy security on the world stage. I therefore propose the following energy policies:
Exit the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
Repeal the 2008 Climate Change Act.
Nationalise all energy companies and infrastructure in the UK. Foreign influence, ownership and corporate profiteering will become a thing of the past. British energy belongs to the British people, it is necessary for life therefore it will be ring fenced from the competitive free market for the stability, control and cost benefits that public ownership offers to the national best interest.
Renewables of all types should constitute no more than 20% of installed capacity. Onshore wind and rooftop solar to be a maximum of 10% each.
Immediately halt all further ground based solar deployment.
Divest from all offshore wind, it’s too expensive.
Maintain the moratorium on shale gas extraction. Only small-scale exploratory test drilling should be allowed in the UK and local communities must receive financial ‘kick backs’ to compensate them for extra lorry traffic etc in their areas.
All newly built social housing should be constructed with optimal solar capture/solar water heating in mind. Spare capacity will eventually emerge from the decommissioning of ground based solar installations. Any redeployment should prioritise family homes within the social housing sector so those tenants have the potential to gain from any beneficial feed in tariff schemes aimed at reducing their household bills. As a nation we must honour and help our young families as much as we can, we must help them to raise the next generation to be the best it can be for ultimately it is on them that we depend.
