Green Policies, Green Energy + all things Green.

There was another death knell for peoples utility bills in California this week as US oil giant abandons California after 150 years over ‘harsh’ green policies.

We are having similar issues here in England.

A recent article bought to light that "desperation" is apparently behind an increase in the amount of energy thefts and/or meter, according to a fuel poverty charity.

This is a sad state of affairs but is not one that is overly surprising.

Fuel prices have increased for a multitude of reasons and yet most regular consumers are not able to put 2 and 2 together to make 4.

The World has changed quite considerably since 2019. Plandemics, wars and a lot of Government reaction to both of those has seen inflation start to rip through economies and thus help to exacerbate price increases in fuel.

Russia attacks Ukraine a couple of years ago and our Government decides that we must stop importing Russian fuel and impose sanctions on our one time allies.

This move impacted the UK energy market, pushed supply down whilst demand remained stable or increased. Any 3 year old could probably tell you that when this happens then the result will be higher prices.

Further to that, the WEF have got their grubby hands in the pockets of a multitude of bureaucrats and have endlessly pushed their ‘You’ll own nothing and be happy’’ agenda. They will not abate and we will get a hell of a lot more of this coming our way.

This has resulted in the rise of Eco Zealots in the West and these Eco Zealot minions have rammed solar and wind energy down our throats, all in the name of saving the world.

Trillions of units of currencies have been produced in order to bring down the fossil fuel use in the world from 81% all the way down to 80%. That is craziness. How much will it cost to get that % down significantly further? I dread to think.

We have started to ‘wane’ ourselves off of gas and oil and want these base load energies to be replaced with solar and wind. This simply will not work at all. You will always need to have a good base load energy in which you can then build on top of i.e. with wind and solar, so that on days where it is not so sunny or not so windy, we are not at the mercy of either the grid or the elements.

If we are looking to get rid of oil and gas and coal (good luck with that) then the answer has to be nuclear.
