Ed Miliband faces cheating accusations over plans to exclude emissions generated in foreign gas-fired power stations from UK totals. He has pledged to make the grid 95pc gas-free by 2030 – but 15pc of UK power comes from neighbours like Belgium, the Netherlands and France, which have coal and gas-fired power stations. Miliband has ruled that all such imported power is be classed as zero-carbon – making it look as green as wind or solar – because the emissions occur outside UK borders. #CostOfNetZero

New research has found 'statistical proof' that the Met Office is inflating UK maximum daily temperatures, with the odds that corrupted weather stations are recording temperatures accurately being less than one in 10,000. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/29/sta…

Astonished that we haven’t heard from @NJ_Timothy on the subject of the Palm Sunday procession across Trafalgar Square today. Why is he not complaining about domination?

The GB capacity market is broken @neso_energy and @energygovuk appear to be recklessly complacent: Firstly, only 40 GW of capacity was procured. Typical weekday peak demand this winter was 45 GW - the actual peak was 50 GW, and NESO / DESNZ expect an additional 12 GW on top of the 2023 total system demand of 58 GW in 2030 from electrification and data centres Either they think there will be demand destruction rather than growth or they are assuming 30 GW of renewables will be running. But since the whole point of the market is to secure capacity for days when renewable output is low, remembering that there is zero solar in the winter peak and wind can drop to mere MWs this undermines the whole purpose of the market Secondly the type of capacity procured is increasingly risky. A quarter of the capacity awarded went to interconnectors (20%) and unproven DSR (5%). There is no mechanism to compel imports. If our neighbours are also short due to the high weather correlation between us they will not be in a position to export and no-one can force them to. Unproven DSR is, unproven ie it has never been tested and whether it will actually deliver is pretty hypothetical Finally the timetable no longer makes sense. 4 years ahead was chosen as a reasonable timeframe for delivery of new plant from FID to commissioning. But lead times for equipment have lengthened - it's now 7-8 years for a gas turbine, and recent projects have seen delays to grid connections that pushed delivery to 6 years after the auction Taken together the market looks broken and is giving a false sense of security. @ofgem needs to intervene and make sure NESO and DESNZ aren't being complacent in the face of cost constraints. The market may well be tested by 2030 and on this basis it's likely to be found wanting @Ed_Miliband @ClaireCoutinho @AndrewBowie_MP @griffitha @mattwridley @DavidGHFrost @Iromg @AllisonPearson @EdConwaySky @afneil @MerrynSW @mattotele @jonathan_leake watt-logic.com/2026/03/29/gb-…
