If Solar cannot work effectively in Greece, why do idiots think it will work well in Britain?

Wind and solar are not viable as the world's primary energy source, not without endless backup from the dense baseload power of hydrocarbons. Because renewable components face a strict 20-year operating life, we have inadvertently created an economic monster: a continuous loop of decommissioning, ransacking rare earth mines, and rebuilding the entire global fleet just to maintain the status quo - a material dead end. Without fossil fuels to power the underlying mining, manufacturing and transport infrastructure, these wind and solar systems wouldn't even exist. Once installed, their intermittent energy cannot be integrated on a national scale without a completely new, parallel global power grid—an infrastructure sinkhole estimated to cost $21 trillion. This massive building spree was only enabled by generous, ongoing subsidies from compliant governments, drawn into the vortex by a carefully engineered narrative of guilt over human progress. That narrative has struck home. Today, the Western nations that bought into it are in visible economic decline, with heavy industry vanishing and productive jobs being hollowed out. Wind and solar gained traction as a boutique alternative based on the naive premise that because wind and sunlight are 'free', the infrastructure to capture them must be too. In reality, they are intensely material-heavy, placing unprecedented pressure on mining capabilities for ever-diminishing metals and rare earths. To put the scale of this replacement loop into perspective, the global fleet represents the equivalent of 1.3 billion wind turbine units and 7 to 8 billion solar panels—all ticking down toward a 20-year shelf life. According to McKinsey estimates, the total net-zero transition is currently costing an estimated $9.2 trillion every year, projecting to a staggering $275 trillion by 2050—the equivalent of two full years of global GDP. Yet, after 37 years of this non-stop narrative, hydrocarbons still provide roughly 81% of the world's primary energy. We are chasing butterflies at the expense of industrial sovereignty. Was it only about rising globalism? Already, communities are pushing back, seeking to ban massive turbine blade graveyards and toxic solar panel e-waste from local landfill sites. Ultimately, an energy strategy detached from physical and economic reality is destined to fail, leaving these imperfect technologies scattered as rusted wreckage across once-pristine landscapes and coastal horizons. Without reliable energy, a modern world simply wouldn't exist. Image: We should not take the majesty of these natural landscapes for granted.

Elon Musk is a trillionaire on an overheating planet with a civilisation that is heading towards collapse. The biggest problem we have is a mass cultural mental and spiritual illness.

JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.

Feb 2025: Climate change target of 2C is ‘dead’, says renowned climate scientist. Prof James Hansen says pace of global heating has been significantly underestimated, though other scientists disagree. June 2026: scientists concede 1.9C is in the pipeline theguardian.com/environment/…

You don't need to explain how the climate scam works, it is repeated often enough - Hot weather = catastrophic man-made climate change; Sub-zero temps, rain, wind = just weather.

Two years ago I said: Either we continue to let Net Zero dictate products and prices or we embrace choice. Now Ed Miliband is putting costs up on: Underfloor heating Boilers Electricity Cars Food Tumble Dryers Fertilizer Towel Rails Shipping The consumer is being shafted.

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.” The Palestinians never wanted peace. This must be shared every single day.

Beverly Turner used to be alright. Since she's started working for GBNEWS she's become more and more radicalised and quite frankly ABSURD. She's sat here denying what's going in Belfast isn't a riot. @beverleyturner you sound utterly unhinged here and truthfully- a disgrace. How dare you. @Ofcom do your job.
