Live at 1pm Eastern: The Great British Energy Company – The Climate Realism Show #122

The new Labour government in the UK wants to set up the “Great British Energy Company,” supposedly the answer to all of that country’s green energy dreams. But Heartland friend Lois Perry of CAR26 in the UK says it will be a nightmare – especially when you add that “publicly owned” renewable energy project to a reduction in fossil fuel extraction and the millions the UK has pledged to pay in “climate reparations.”

On Episode 122 of The Climate Realism Show, we will also cover the Washington Post admitting the Urban Heat Island effect is real (but somehow still screwing it up), the ongoing wind turbine disaster off Massachusetts, an actual civil debate about climate change from both sides, the Crazy Climate News of the week, and more.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET with The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and special guest Lois Perry. Join the chat and we’ll answer your questions on the air.

Undoubtedly, the Great British Energy Company will be modelled after The Great Leap Forward of China.

Proponents will use National Health Service as a baseline.

The Great Leap Forward was similar the Stalin’s imposed collectivism> Also known and the The Holodomor.

Well, thus far we’ve had a few anthropogenic wildfires thanks to a rather toasty cultural climate.

Edstone hasn’t got a look in – yet. But it’s only a matter of time before he sows his own brand of division starting with solar and then with pylons.

The plan is to kill the North Sea and… buy it in. Brilliant in its simplistic virtuosity.

I think we all had an inkling that when the current government was elected…

… it was the end of the UK as anyone knows it.

As Britannia sinks below the waves (figuratively). 🙁

Didn’t the UK government nationalize the railways?

How did that go?

It has long been denationalised but the Labour Gov is now thinking of renationalising it. To be fair, though, neither mode seemed to operate better than the other.

First thought: insurance companies won’t be happy paying for all the damage. This is the reason why I see all those 50k+ EV’s parked outside and not inside their garage. What will happen in an underground parking lot with every car being an EV? There’re plenty of EV’s in China, it might not happen often, but the damage is huge. I can’t afford an EV, let alone one the burst into flames. Some people like to drive at least 15 years.
