Solar generation by CfD is a trivial portion of overall generation. Total Net Payments FROM solar to date (7 May 2026) of £0.67m, are tiny compared to the total Net payment TO all generators of £13,239.33m to date.

UK energy policy is economic self-harm. Labour banning new North Sea drilling licences fracking — right as the Strait of Hormuz crisis hits. Yet oil & gas extraction is one of our MOST productive industries. A thread (1/10)

80% of our energy is fossil. And will be for a long time. You talk as if electricity is all that matters. You sound like an idiot.

Essentially, Labour has put Britain into a political stasis for the next three years. There's nothing in their policy cupboard that won't make matters worse, so their only option is to do nothing much. That's as good a reason as any for retaining Starmer. He is the perfect man for the job. A bland, visionless functionary will go through the motions until it's time to call an election. Too bad the rest of us just have to watch the country burn - just because Labour is too dishonourable to relinquish power they have no idea how to use.

Government policies make steel manufacture non-viable. Government buys steel plants, tax payers subsidise non-viable manufacture.

Yesterday, @EnergyUKcomms caught a bad case of Net Zero Derangement Syndrome by claiming that removing carbon taxes will increase bills. A thread (1/n)

Worth a read... If the subsidies exceed the build cost then this is a massive wealth transfer from consumers to developers @ClaireCoutinho

There's no wind generation that costs 5p/kWh. In fact there are several CfD-subsidised units getting over 22p/kWh, for example Burbo Bank Ext, Dudgeon and Walney Extension. Many ROC-subsidised units getting even more than that. That's before backup, grid balancing and expansion costs.

The 32 GW wind fleet is currently producing 0.64GW. Solar nothing at all. Got to be a record epic fail for intermittent renewables.

21:30 electricity demand is 30,490MW. Solar and wind are producing just 710MW between them. So let's get rid of fossil fuels eh? The brain rot infecting those in power in the UK is terrifying.

Ember, the people who came up with Miliband's promise to cut bills by £300 have been torturing the data to claim renewables saved money in March. Record CfD subsidies for March of £258m tell a different story. We're witnessing the dying embers of Net Zero propaganda (1/n)

Here’s the choice the Turing scheme offered ? Compare the choice for students between that & Erasmus. The U.K. has 3 Unis in the world top 10, one at 23 24 Russell Group Unis. The EU has one at 30. Here’s how popular Erasmus was for the U.K. Still want to welcome it?

Net zero advocates love to claim renewables are cheaper than gas by waving around Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) models from Lazard, IRENA, and the UK Government’s Generation Cost 2025 report. But these models are junk. Here’s why. (1/19)

Starmer has arrived at the Middle East peace summit

I’m sorry, but this is too funny 🤣

The outrage from the Green lobbyists today who want to deny us tax revenues and Jobs from the North Sea plus increased gas secure supplies for our 22m domestic gas boilers just as we may exploit Jackdaw tells you everything about their motives.

This can't be right. Why aren't they paying the global gas price?

At best it is wilful negligence. At worst, tantamount to treason against the British people. If you enjoyed this thread, please like and share. You can sign up to read the full article on the link below (15/15) open.substack.com/pub/davidt…

There. Is. No. Global. Price. For. Gas. How often do you need to be told this? What’s the Henry Hub price today? What’s the UK price today? Are they the same … or even close? Let me tell you, for April 2026 contracts. Henry Hub, right now: $2.87/MMBtu UK NBP right now: $16.79/MMBtu So UK prices are 5.8x US prices. I don’t like calling people liars but you must know this, so what else is there to say?

It is 100% reliant on gas. Renewables are simply temporary displacement. Without gas, there would be no renewables. Gas still forms the foundation of our electricity.
