net zero he sayes, meaning no oil drilling , STANDING THERE IN HIS HIGH VIZ JACKET AND PRACTALLY EVERYTHING ELSE HE'S WEARING!!! what "fools" are running (sorry, ruining) the country we have, and we all thought the tory's were the worst it could get????
Don't think Ed regards himself as politician anymore. He seems to want to hold everyone to account equally so I'd imagine he identifies as a journalist/presenter now.
Wind turbines - where do we store the energy currently in uk?? We (tax payers) currently pay the energy companies for switching off the wind turbines because the grid can't cope. It costs the same as gas costs. GB Energy needs to address this ... British Gas only big enough not likes of Octopus???
Thats if you can replace all the cars and trucks with electric cars and trucks plus when you make the batteries for the car and trucks you put more co,2 in to the atmosphere
What happens if we get 56 days of "dunkelflaute" like the UK got in 2018? Projecting out to 2050 with increased demand from electrification of transport and heating etc, we would need to find something like 28TWh of missing electricity generated from wind power (but the wind won't be blowing!). Britain currently has 39.3 GWh of pumped storage. There are 4 pumped storage stations in Britain. No storage capacity has been added to the grid since the 1980s, and there is no other large scale energy storage in the country. To cover a cold dark still winter you would need to increase pumped storage capacity by a factor of about 1000 (taking into account pumped storage is about 75% efficient). So we would need to find 4000 suitable locations where a 300 to 400m dam can be built to hold back 10 million cubic metres of water, with a fall to the turbines below of about 400 metres. Then we would have to build 160 of these every year, year after year, for 25 years. The scale, and the massive cost of storage, by whatever method (pumped storage is one of the cheapest by the way), make it an impossible mission.

Can't say I'm keen on this trend of politicians from the same party interviewing each other. Don’t like it on GB News. Don’t like it here.

Ed the man that's never had a real job in his life he doesn't live in the real world net zero is fantasy

Does the legal costs for cancelling North Sea exploration come out of that 1.8 billion? Because if it does it’s probably all gone. A week in.
It's insane to think 2030 is achievable. It could only be achieved by a massive oncost to us

What about nuclear power stations no one has said anything about them
These 2 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤮
Did anyone notice the grab bucket from the crane going into milligrams skull
I did 😊
😂
Class!!
It’s a very tiny grab bucket … I guess there is nothing in there to grab.
