Net Zero Costs Could Exceed £7 Trillion – IEA
From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
Another dagger in the heart of Net Zero.
From the Telegraph:
Reaching 2050 target could exceed even highest official predictions of £7.6tn amid ‘faulty assumptions’
Reaching net zero will cost Britain even more than feared, a report has found.
The gross cost to the UK economy of achieving the 2050 target could exceed even the highest official predictions of £7.6tn, an Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) paper said.
The report said that previous estimates of the financial impact of net zero were based on “fantasy assumptions” of the cost of renewable energy and low-carbon technology.
Lord Frost, the head of the IEA, said the low estimates were also the result of “heroic assumptions” of the cost of household technologies such as heat pumps and electric cars.
David Turver, the paper author, said: “The various public bodies responsible for working out the costs of net zero have not been entirely truthful in their analysis. They have made fantasy assumptions about the cost of renewables and low-carbon technologies.
“The true cost of net zero is much higher than we have been led to believe. If we are to have a serious debate about net zero, the various public bodies need to be more transparent and frankly more honest.”
The Government’s approach to reaching net zero has come under increasing scrutiny over the last year, with pressures to go further on green policy from inside Labour.
On Monday night, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said it rejected the IEA analysis, which it said ignored the costs of “staying on the fossil fuel roller-coaster”.

“Reaching 2050 target could exceed even highest official predictions of £7.6tn amid ‘faulty assumptions’”
The Americans talk about ‘deliverables’. The great scam is that ‘net zero’ is not a measure of the world CO2 level which is the ONLY deliverable.
Say the UK output no CO2 at all. What difference would it make to world CO2 levels?
In this sleight of hand, moving the target from world atmospheric CO2 level to ntt CO2 ’emissions’ in a single country, politicians have moved from something which is allegedly meaningful to something which is completely meaningless, even if Al Gore was right.
In fact fossil fuel CO2 has never been proven to be higher than 2.0% of atmospheric CO2. And atmospheric CO2 is only 2% of what is in the ocean.
The 2% of fossil fuel Co2 in the air is simply the same as that in the ocean due to the extremely rapid exchange between ocean and sky. And yet we are told fossil fuel CO2 has somehow stuck in the air. It’s nonsense, not science.
I have struggled for years to find ANY science at all in what has been legislated around the world, allegedly to save the planet to remove an unproven threat. After 38 years of this massive expense, the word hoax is not strong enough. And Australia has been a world leader in innovative punishing taxes. And science departments around the world say nothing. It’s not worth their jobs to speak out.
260
Real scientists know it is all fantasy. And if they spoke out, it would not be printed. And they would lose their jobs, just like Dr Peter Ridd. Because the people in charge know full well it is a hoax because it is their hoax. Total official belief in Climate Change is also a requirement for Chief Scientist, the BOM and CSIRO. So Australia and the UK are crippled economies and getting rapidly worse. And somehow every move sends more cash to China, which is why Donald Trump calls it the China Hoax.

Carbon neutral. The hoax continues. Who needs facts or logic or science?

” The new 2026 “Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill” punishes speech that causes fear—even if no harm occurs—with up to 5 years in prison. ……. “The law applies to nearly everything: tweets, blogs, memes, even quoting scripture online. It explicitly states that it doesn’t matter if anyone actually felt hatred or fear. And it allows the government to go back in time and charge people for things they said before the law existed.”

The real problem is that the antisemitism doesn’t mostly come from ordinary Australians but from (a) useful idiots of the Left and their endless marches in support of Hamas terrorism (antisemitic but disguised as political action, where are the marches for Iran, Nigeria, Congo etc.?) and (b) most importantly, religiously motivated hatred from the preferred religious demographic which Labor is importing in large numbers and placing in critical Labor electorates as Labor voters for life.
Labor is prepared to destroy what was a peaceful, tolerant and relatively free country just so they can embed themselves in Government forever, helped along by an utterly incompetent fake conservative Liberal Party. (Remember how Tony Burke personally went to the airport to welcome the latest cohort of future Labor voters from the Middle East?)
Furthermore, the preaching of hatred against, and destruction of, “infidels” – Jews, Christians and others, which is mandated in their foundational texts, is specifically exempted.
It will not address antisemitism but just stifle free speech.
The elephant in the room continues to be ignored by the Uniparty. We all (thinking people) know what this elephant is but this legislation will actually prevent us from discussing it. Too bad the politicians are ignorant (wilfully so) of the last 1400 years of history, or even what’s happening in present day Western Europe.

The Censorship Network in Germany
Over the past several years, investigative reporting has revealed a range of coor-
dinated efforts to suppress online speech in Western countries. Often referred to
as the Censorship-Industrial Complex, these networks of information suppres-
sion (mostly operating under the guise of “countering-disinformation” or “hate
speech”) have been particularly widespread in the United States, United King-
dom and the European Union. Within the EU, Germany plays an outsized role in
this complex, with a plethora of government and private nodes engaged in mon-
itoring online speech and advocating increasing levels of content suppression.
160
The danger posed by the ruling class (public serpents, politicians and others with license to appropriate power and wealth for themselves) is when they notice that people don’t like them and what they are doing.
The h8 word then becomes a weapon. Someone in the ruling class decides that you h8 them and therefore that you are a criminal. Failure to immediately confess then becomes a criminal act as well. And back the world goes about 1000 years to the age which gave rise to the Magna Carta.
And as per the Wizard of Id, the news filters through to the ruling class that the peasants are revolting. But the self appointed ruling class already know that because the peasants are smelly and keep shouting things like the King is a fink.
150
They don’t care that we hate them. All they care about is that we’re noticing what they’re up to. Their response to this is further restrictions on the dissemination or broadcast of inconvenient facts and truth, hence the various attacks on free speech. In THEIR ideal world, even if one of the plebs discovers that the government is up to something dodgy, he won’t be allowed to tell anybody else.
100
Steve, your explanation is at least as good as mine.
Sadly, I’m really no good at figuring out what others care about. And I think my crystal ball went out in a recent spring clean so I have no idea what their ideal world might be like. And speaking only for myself I don’t H8 the ruling class. That would be self-destructive.
I do regard it as a very strange thing when people take it on themselves to make up rules others must live by. Especially when the rules make no sense and appear to be nothing more than instruments of oppression. Defining disagreement to be H8 to be punished is one such rule.

A gov’t ‘dweeb’?
80
US slang term: dweeb implies both ineptitude and unintelligent obsession with an issue but without mastery of the subject at hand.
A dork or geek can be similar, but at least they know the subject.
A Govt Dweeb is seat warming apparatchik, reveling in his imagined power, who is actually foolish/inept, etc. A dangerous combination of ego, arrogance, ignorance, and positional power.
You know. The kind of person you’d slap, but afraid it would splatter, like dung.
80
The only reason we haven’t been suffocated by it yet is D.J. Trump.
Once he goes, and the Democrats return to power in the US, we are all in very deep shlt.

That’s assuming Trump or one of his acolytes doesn’t get the nod and of course if the Demorats still exist
00
While leaders are important (Churchill?), in the USA there is also the makeup of the US Congress to consider. Hopefully the exposure of the apparent massive alleged fraud (money usually talks) will be able to influence the 2026 Congressional mid term elections.

I have my doubts about this. The Shah was deposed for a reason. The Ayatollah may have been worse, but life under the Shah was no picnic. I don’t see how installing his son as ruler and restoring the monarchy would do anything other than reset the clock back to 1954. They’d want him gone a generation from now.
They need to make a total break from the past and relegate both the monarchy and the theocracy to the dustbin of history.

” For the last 46 years, the American public have been gaslit about an Iranian terrorism threat that pales in comparison to what America has done. ”
..and people believing what you listed above are right in the middle of it. 45years of propaganda about what Iran is like… or any other country with oil that stands up to the USA. The Rob B article below lays out the American sabotage of Iran over every one of those 45 years, and their regime change money is pouring into Iran right now.
“The most documented US-linked precursor exports involved thiodiglycol (TDG), a key ingredient for producing mustard gas (sulfur mustard). American companies, with US Department of Commerce export licenses, supplied hundreds of tons of TDG and related dual-use chemicals to Iraq starting in the mid-1980s.”
…sounds just like Ukraine these days!
“The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group with a Marxist-Islamist ideology, had long waged guerrilla warfare against the Islamic Republic, including assassinations and bombings that killed thousands. Designated a terrorist organization by the US.in 1997 for attacks that included killing Americans in the 1970s, the MEK found unlikely patrons in Washington after the 2003 Iraq invasion.”
…and that sounds like ISIS all over again, the Yanks arming and training terrorist groups within another country. The difficult question is, what would Iran’s history be without the Yanks poking their nose in and trying to take it over. Their usual methods are foment trouble, blame the Govt they don’t like, when that Govt reacts either invade or kidnap the ruler.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
I always find it fascinating how some individual ends up as the centre of attention. Like for example Lech Walensky did in Poland. Or how creeps like Kevin Rudd find their way to the top of the greasy pole.
Reza Pahlavi may well carry the day but prior to today I had never heard of him and I don’t have a crystal ball. Everything will be obvious in hindsight.
My only wish is either that the CIA and pals are not involved or at least they don’t FUBAR the whole thing again (or is that still).

Where would Iran be now if the U.S. and Britain had not interferred in 1953? … Operation Ajax, look it up.

Yes and THAT’s the thing.

If the ABC story is true on this, might it be that Trump’s hesitation in taking military action against Iran is because the recent successful blocking of Starlink communications by Iran (with help from China and/or Russia) has revealed a fatal flaw in the US military combat communications systems?

I don’t actually understand why both Starmfuhrer and Al Albo are so upset about being portrayed in bikinis.
Their respective regimes don’t even believe in two binary genders* and in Australia they prosecute people for “misgendering”.
Plus Australian Government officials** are incapable of defining what a woman is. In the absence of a definition, how do we know Starmfuhrer and Al Albo aren’t in fact women? What is a woman? If that question can’t be answered they can be portrayed in any clothing one wishes.
==
* The slight difference with Once Great Britain is that their High Court ruled that gender is defined by biological sex. Nevertheless, wokeness prevails. In Australia Gillard changed the Sex Discrimination Act to define gender by self-identifcation alone, no other criteria including biology or physical appearance.

So much for the all those hot takes that Renee Good didn’t hit the ICE officer with her car and that he shot her for no good reason. Don’t weaponize your vehicle … or the cops might weaponize their gun.
The article couldn’t resist trying to minimize his injuries by pointing out that the officer walked off after being hit without assistance. I’d imagine he got one heck of a jolt of adrenaline when he heard the car engine rev and saw it coming at him, and wasn’t feeling much of anything he came down from that rush. He was also probably in shock.

Bunnings are now offering a solar/battery deal. Either subscription or upfront capital. Prices look reasonable:
https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/bunnings-zelora-solar-battery-mb3232/
Solar Capacity 3.96 kW 6.6 kW 8.8 kW 10.56 kW 13.2 kW
Battery Capacity 7.8 kWh 10.4 kWh 13 kWh 15.6 kWh 23.4 kWh
Monthly Sub. (From) $112 $136 $157 $174 $202
Minimum Cost (10 yrs) $15,058 $18,284 $21,108 $23,393 $27,157
Purchase outright $11,159 $13,982 $16,268 $18,016 $21,376
$21k for 13.2kW solar and 23.4kW batter would suit a large household. A couple in an efficient residence would get good value from the 6.6kW/10.4kWh system. Go up a size if you are planning on using an EV for a second car.
00
If I was to invest $21k for 10 years, assuming a respectable 7%, I would have $41,310. It therefore follows that if I purchased your recommended solar + battery system for $21,000 instead of investing the money, I would have to save over $4,000 annually off my power bill to make the solar system worthwhile. Under these circumstances, why are you recommending such a system? Where is the power bill savings?
40
What allowance have you made for electricity price inflation or do you think Blackout and Sleezy will eventually deliver on their lower electricity price?
And show me a zero risk investment that gets 7%pa.
A large household would use 30kWh/day. And the $21k system would easily produce that most days. So energy saving around $4400/ year.
And you do not actually need to spend capital. They have a monthly paymentent option.
00
Nope, your assumption are wrong. My electricity cost me $2180 in 2019, and minus solar, would have only cost $2471 in 2025. Currently I average $936/yer savings. Nowhere near $4000.
And it doesn’t matter whether you pay monthly, yearly or the whole lot initially. It’s still around the same financial outlay.
20
I made no assumptions about your costs or savings.
You have may no effort to answer the questions regarding your 7% rate of return over inflation.
You could save more with a battery.
00
Rick do they come with a ‘diode’ so the grid cannot drain your battery when its short of power? Its not going to be worth trying to feed onto the grid in the day with the oversupply we already have, so we just need power coming in, not going both ways.
00
Batteries have power flow sensors in the meter box and do not export from the battery unless they are programmed to do it.
The latest solar inverters have remote control over export so they can ben shut off by grid controllers to better manage power flow. However that will have reduced concern as more batteries get installed so the excess rooftop feeds to batteries rather than being export.

In January 2025, Denmark became the first country in the world to require that dairy farmers give their herds an additive called Bovaer or, alternatively, feed them a high-fat diet. The additive is meant to cut the animals’ production of methane — a potent greenhouse gas. Davidsen began adding Bovaer to his herd’s feed in October, but not long after the cows fell ill.
…
Although some farmers began administering the additive earlier in 2025, most waited until the cutoff date of Oct. 1. Within a couple of weeks, reports of problems had begun coming in: Cows were eating less and producing less milk; some suffered fever, diarrhea, and weakness.
