Solar farm failures were likely behind the blackouts in Spain and Portugal, Spain's national grid operator has said – as Tony Blair comes out against Starmer's Net Zero plans and the phasing out of fossil fuels.
Now the climate zealots are trying to suck carbon out of the sea. It's just the latest nutty climate stunt funded by the taxpayer to the tune of £3 million.
Oxfordshire's green lunatics are at it again, says Ben Pile. Councils which you would think had enough on their plate trying to stop drug and rape gangs are instead spending taxpayers' money on sucking CO2 out of the air.
Brits could face an extra £20 a year on energy bills to fund unproven carbon capture technology as the Government proposes to spend £21.7 billion on projects to capture the gas from the air and store it underground.
If the thought of fracking gave you a panic attack – earthquakes! – then the risks associated with carbon capture should give you a heart attack. Miliband's latest wheeze is stark raving bonkers, says Chris Morrison.
Green civil war has broken out over carbon capture and hydrogen, with Net Zero zealots increasingly disputing the key technology. But the public is being kept in the dark by the mainstream media, says Chris Morrison.
In place of cheap, reliable energy, Ed Miliband has been busy summoning up green unicorns with taxpayers' cash, says Ben Pile. The latest non-solutions are carbon capture and flywheels. No, they aren't going to work.
£22bn on carbon capture? It's hard to think of a more stupid waste of public money, says Paul Homewood. At best, just 8.5m of the UK's 327m tonnes of CO2 will be 'captured' – and a load will be emitted in the process!
The Government has pledged nearly £22bn for carbon capture and storage projects in a move that has united sceptics and alarmists in condemnation of the expensive and unproven technology.
Climate alarmists have turned on carbon capture and storage, branding the green technology a "colossal waste of money". Its real crime in their eyes, says Chris Morrison, is allowing the wicked oil companies to carry on.
