Everything that's wrong with the current net-zero nut jobs.
This guy is a 'Green' activist.
He likes to show off how environmentally friendly he is by showing how little he has paid to run the 7 EVs he has owned over the last 15 years.
A fully paid up member of western consumer society with a carbon footprint even I'd struggle to beat.

Ayrshire wood pellets to heat Peckham rooftop cinema | Ayr Advertiser share.google/eZMBL4KcdJRddyF…
Got to keep the Londonites warm for their 'more social' cinema experience of sitting in randomly placed deck chairs, on a roof with head phones on 🤯
Meanwhile we spend £billions of tax payer money using energy to collect CO2 from the atmosphere and pump it underground.
And yet the push for banning wood burners that are genuinely needed by many to keep their home warm keeps increasing......

Spectacular post. GW is not GWh. That's the whole post, undone.
A gigawatt tells you how fast a battery can discharge. It tells you nothing about how long. Britain's grid batteries typically run for one to two hours. So Ofgem's 29GW is roughly 58GWh of stored energy: about two hours of average GB demand.
Now the number that matters. The Royal Society's 2023 study, Large-scale electricity storage, modelled 37 years of real weather and concluded that a wind-and-solar Britain needs up to 100TWh of storage by 2050.
100TWh is 100,000GWh.
Your 29GW of batteries covers about one 1,700th of it. Build the entire 90GW queue, every speculative project included, and you're still short by a factor of more than 500.
The Royal Society is not a sceptic outfit. Its report says the scale required is "far more than could conceivably be provided by conventional batteries", and equivalent to more than 5,000 Dinorwigs. Its answer is hydrogen in up to 90 clusters of 10 salt caverns, none of which exist.
Batteries shift teatime. They don't get you through a still fortnight in January, let alone a low-wind year. Nobody serious claims they do.
A long queue of people chasing arbitrage revenue isn't evidence the storage problem is solved. It's evidence that the wrong problem is profitable.
We can agree that there is an amusing part.

Yeah thats right mate, Middlesbrough was basically Atlantis before Brexit
I remember me and my friends would sit on the Costa del Tees and sip mojitos until sunrise
After that we would go for a 32oz ribeye at the Savoy Berwick Hills. Lovely restaurant it was
We would take in the Teesside philharmonic at the little theatre. It didnt feel so little to us back then
We would take the land rover over to the luscious Thornaby Meadows and shoot clay pigeons until the roast was cooked
We would always argue about which side of town had the best waitrose (i always maintain it was the Brambles farm location, i will die on this hill)
The tees barrage Yacht club fees were more manageable in 2019, for sure
Mummykins didnt have to work back then either
My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we would make meat helmets
After Brexit everything changed
My father worked in the straight bananas business. Once those wonky bananas came back and flooded the shelves, we were ruined
My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament
Brexit took this from Middlesbrough
Never forget

It isn’t always worth working more.
Most people have an amount they’re willing to work for. Childcare costs, commuting, balancing work/leisure, etc
If tax takes net pay below that, many people won’t work. 1/2

I am normally quite closely aligned with Andrew Neil but this is nonsense. Arday was a charlatan and has badly damaged the education of many bright young people. He has also heaped massive scrutiny on to genuinely accomplished ethnic minorities by exposing how devastating these bullshit DEI policies can be and how far these “Emperor’s New Clothes” scenarios can run.
I do agree that once he was exposed the people that enabled him left him high and dry. I hope death is not used to draw a line under this DEI cancer running through British institutions.

French beaches. Packed dinghy. Reporter shouts at them that they’re committing a crime under UK law.
Two of the organisers hop off, stroll back onto the sand and start loading the next boat. Local gendarmes stand there and refuse to arrest them. “Not enough evidence.”
Then the same smugglers are chatting with the NGO charity workers like it’s a team-building day.
This is the invasion pipeline. French cops look the other way, NGOs run the logistics, and Britain pays the bill while British people get pushed further down the queue.

Click bait rubbish.
I've done 200 miles up and down the Thames last month, the depth sounder on my boat never showed anything less than 4ft under the keel on the upper sections. Deeper beyond.
Someone hits a sandbank they're doing it wrong.

You seem to think we should roll out the red carpet for every immigrant to the UK?
FFS, "cheap labour", discrimination & exploitation of immigrants is now state policy through the visa rules
(Surprised you ain't aware that under FoM pre-Brexit, Article 45 of the TFEU protected EEA workers from being paid less than Brits on the basis of nationality & vice versa)
