Saving Greenery From the Greens

It should be mentioned more often than it is that the guy who wants the rest of us to refrigerate our homes with ‘heat’ pumps, or half-fill the kettle – Ed Miliband – has two kitchens in his own house, presumably in case he loses one. It’s a relevant point, isn’t it, that the people in charge of environmental policy get to do so with such fashionable North London hypocrisy?
The immiserating effects of the Government’s Net Zero obsession are well documented. Additionally, in fact worse, climate alarmism is generating more and more excuses for state incursions into what used to be the private space, orchestrated by people financially and culturally insulated from the whole madness.
It shouldn’t be like this. The end-of-rainbow quest for renewable energy is unnecessary. We have what we need right under our feet. To import it anyway, via supply chains which amplify the end-use cost, is frankly ridiculous.
It is hard to think of an analogy which does justice to the combination of incompetence and malice driving this wretchedness. The closest I can get is to suggest that Miliband has turned the UK into a thief who robs £10 to buy £5 even though he knows, along with the rest of us, that he has a crumpled wad of £20 notes in his back pocket.
