Labour In Power? Get Ready For The Net Zero Idiocracy

The Conservatives in their recent budget do at least seem to be grudgingly accepting that Net Zero is a fool’s game. But they’re still tinkering around the edges. Net Zero legislation (the Climate Change Act 2008 and Theresa May’s statutory instrument amendment) needs to be repealed entirely in order to prevent further damage to the economy and to society:

Repeal the Climate Change Act 2008; Cancel Net Zero - NOW!

Alas, that’s not going to happen any time soon. Now we have the terrifying prospect of a Keir Starmer led Labour government becoming a real possibility at the next general election. I’ll be voting for the Heritage Party but most British voters are still moronically and stubbornly attached to the two party system, believing that they can get real change by voting either Labour or Conservative. What is it going to take to convince them that they are just two pimples on the same arse?

So anyway, Andrew Neil challenged Labour shadow minister Jon Ashworth on Net Zero electricity generation. This was the utterly cringeworthy result:

“I’m baffled by how you can think we can get to a net zero electricity system by 2030 that won’t involve gas.” Do Labour's energy plans stack up? @afneil quizzes @JonAshworth on the Party’s Green Mission pledge. Watch again on @All4 | #AndrewNeilShow

Give Hollywood its due; they predicted exactly this type of scenario in 2006:

‘Net Zero has what plants crave’.

Actually, it doesn’t. What plants crave is CO2. Satellite images prove that the rise in atmospheric CO2 since 1950, supposedly attributable in its entirety to human activities, has greened the planet considerably. Plants love CO2. But apart from that, Hollywood’s Idiocracy was an uncannily accurate prediction of the Net Zero Idiocracy. I just can’t figure out which actor in the above clip best exemplifies Jon Ashworth.
