Some really sensible points by @Fozzy ✅ I don't want solar farms taking over good agricultural land. The French have a good idea, putting solar panels over car parks Good to agree on fracking, it's the chemicals that cause the fracking of most concern, especially when seeping into ground water. I'm uneasy too re £40bn annually. If it's required, it needs to be structured so as a % gov't shareholder, the State can then claw the money back in future years.

@paulwaughmp.bsky.social on Bluesky BSKY.APP Several news organisations rightly picked up on this: Tory peers have been trying to filibuster the Football Governance Bill in the Lords. This is a manifesto commitment - and has cross-party backing. So they... Tory peers looking after Premier League clubs then ????

But I love Wensleydale with Cranberries or Ginger in it!

@Robbie So all the COP conferences driven by the concern's of the world's top scientists are wrong? The Net Zero funded scientists are in a miniscule minority. London is so much cleaner with the ULEZ zones for a start. The high interest rates on debt are in fact a legacy of Liz Truss's disastrous budget. I'm not that knowledgeable to delve into the breakdown of the overseas aid budget. I'm sure it's one of the first to be examined for potential savings Actually £3bn for Ukraine isn't enough. It needs more IMHO. Green energy investment produces cheaper energy, that's without question. It's needed for UK industry to compete with lower electricity costs. BTW, what exactly is 2 tier justice?

Is Labour right to claim there’s a £22 billion ‘black hole’ in the public finances? - Full Fact FULLFACT.ORG It’s been a key government claim since the election and featured heavily in the Budget - but what does it actually mean?

@Robbie I'm not tied to any political party per se. I treat each individual policy on it's merits. Thought , this was a thread on Net Zero... 2 Tier justice, just a right leaning throwaway line, without any actual substance to it. From BBC website : "Most economists judge that the costs of the UK failing to pursue net zero will ultimately be greater than the costs of achieving it. The OBR produced a scenario of “unmitigated global warming” in 2021 which showed UK public sector net debt rising to 300% of GDP by the end of the century due to economic shocks of a hotter climate." I'm fed up of storms, becoming more frequent. Switching from fossil fuels is necessary

@Robbie So basically you just ignore the consequences of fracking...with a "look over there".... Part of my career has been in the oil and gas exploration industries, fracking is NOT the answer. Anyway, I dont think heat pumps are a particularly good idea. Solar panels, yes, a cheaper way to generate electricity. Cheap jibes like "Red Ed" have no place, when we are discussing factual matters (though 30p Lee is acceptable????)

Oh, my status has changed to "Waffle Legend"... Have I already got PoN Legend status?????????

Why the Dutch are ditching gas extraction – Channel 4 News WWW.CHANNEL4.COM While fracking has only just begun in this country, the Dutch are waving goodbye to years of riches from gas extraction. Why? Because they can no longer stand the social and economic cost of hundreds of small... An essential watch, perhaps @Robbie we should begin around the Mansfield, Sutton in Ashfield area. I'm sure 30p Lee would vote it through

Des Buckingham: Oxford United fans react to head coach sacking WWW.BBC.CO.UK The sacking of Oxford United head coach Des Buckingham has been met with shock and sadness. I would still take him at Notts

Appreciate @Fozzy for your sensible post (I'm only centre-left leaning!) I think the trade off ..in order to get cheaper electricity is the investment in wind farms and the like. British industry also needs cheaper electricity to compete. I am in favour of continuing gas production / exploration in the North Sea. What does get overlooked are the decommissioning costs of oil rigs... do the oil companies walk away from such? At least the EU, had a framework to ensure the legal / costs obligations of oil and gas co's fell on them, so they coudn't walk away. Much talk on new pylon infrastructure across Norfolk and Suffolk. Blot on the landscape, maybe, but it is necessary. Fracking in the UK is not the way to go, despite what Net Zero Watch propogandists have proposed in the past. Reservoirs, for hydro electric is an interesting one, of which I am in favour.. When the Tory govt sold the water co's, the latter took the reservoirs too. No new reservoirs have been built since. UK population has expanded... yet we need new reservoirs, especially when the likes of York, Shrewsbury, Bewdley Hebden Bridge , et al get flooded time and again. More infrastructure costs built up for Labour to sort out as 14 years of Tories have done the proverbial sweet .. . in those years
