🎣 Before Brexit: Full nets
🎣 After Brexit: Empty promises
Fishing was meant to be one of the big wins.
Instead, it’s another industry gutted by lies.

Has Brexit fixed anything?

Huge: Piers Forster doesn't think carbon capture should be used in electricity generation (storage/renewables better)

Will @thecccuk.bsky.social

(1) tell the Government to drop gas-CCS

(2) Support my legal case against gas-CCS being used for electricity πŸ‘‰

From a man who is paying Β£22bn to the fossil fuel industry to make blue hydrogen that nobody wants.

Then don't spend Β£22bn on a stupid blue hydrogen project. Water of money. The fossil fuel companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

tinyurl.com/NZT-FID-SM explains how the Govt effectively "insured" the fossil fuel industry for losses on a new carbon capture project

@goodlawproject.bsky.social and I don't think this was lawful, see post below, and it raises wide issues around about governance, transparency and democracy

Labour is chucking cash at a carbon capture con – so we’re taking action | Good Law Project A fossil fuel project in Teesside has landed a Β£10bn subsidy for a fairytale technology. But the government’s carbon sums don’t add up.

Why has the Govt given a Β£10bn subsidy to a new fossil fuel project in Teesside when the gas plant’s total emissions would far exceed any carbon stored under the sea?

I am challenging this with @goodlawproject.bsky.social - read more:

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social - Please interview Ed Milliband and ask him why he is spending Β£22bn on a carbon capture project. It is a complete waste based on the fuel industry wanting to continue supplying gas.

Your energy reporter is an idiot. Price rise due to AI? How about the price of gas and why does the solar and wind farms not reduce our costs. UK has most expensive energy in Europe.

Angela Raynor is ok. However, Ed Milliband? The man who wants to give the fossil fuel industry Β£22bn for carbon capture?

I used the Lloyds app before and that was a lot better. You could say how many tablets you had left for each drug. Not too hard to do.
