The insanity of Net Zero has been exposed - and by the Greens, no less
Story by Zoe Strimpel • 1h
When your whole shtick and passionate belief system is about sacrificing all for net zero, you look rather silly when you turn out to care about the things you mocked others for caring about. Like convenience, efficiency, and beauty.
Yet silliness it is for the Green party, whose co-leader Adrian Ramsay said last week that he will oppose a 100 mile corridor of pylons in his East Anglian constituency of Waveney Valley, required for connecting offshore wind farms to the grid and deemed “vital infrastructure” by the National Grid.
As a Green, Ramsay has now lost all credibility. But as a sensible MP and human, he sounds more sane than many, claiming to be a “constituency MP” and thus keen on honouring locals’ aversion to the corridor.
That aversion ought not to be dismissed but rather viewed as an opportunity to modify the obsession with net zero. As for the big picture, we all know that the UK reaching net zero will make the slightest bit of difference when America’s industrial heartlands, India, South America and China are still puffing away.
On a more focused level, marring our countryside to enable relatively poor-return forms of energy creation, such as wind farms, is not a good idea and it is not right either. One of the major plus points to living in Britain is that we have some absolutely unique, wonderful countryside – in part thanks to intricate planning systems and Nimbyism.
