This week, the European Union doubled (or tripled) down on its net-zero agenda with a flurry of proposals that critics describe as micro-managed, unrealistic, and dangerously detached from energy system realities.

Be careful who you vote into office – you will end up paying for their decisions. Humanity’s growing thirst for energy shows no signs of slowing. Despite years of “energy transition” rhetoric promising a shift away from fossil fuels, the reality is far different: we are in an Energy Additions Era, where new sources are […]

The UK is staring down a £500 billion ($667 billion) price tag to hit its net-zero and clean power targets. This eye-watering sum, mostly front-loaded capital expenditure on renewables, grid upgrades, and transmission infrastructure, is set to hammer businesses and household bills for at least the next decade.

June 29, 2026June 29, 2026 Clark Savage333

Energy Policies for decades have been influenced by the climate scaremongering that the UN admitted was intentionally exaggerated. We are seeing the EU overreach in energy and carbon policies, and their hypocrisy in the open, this week’s heat wave. You won’t want to miss Irina Slav, David Blackmon, Dr. Tammy Nemeth, and Stu Turley as […]
