If you were ever uncertain that Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and his Head of Mission Control, Chris Stark were space cadets with only the vacuum of space between their ears, then the letter Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sent to the NG ESO yesterday should remove all doubt.
First, the file name for the letter is โSOS Chris Stark Letter Clean Power 2030.โ It smacks of a certain amount of desperation. But it is the substance of the letter that is more worrying. They have written to Fintan Slye, director of the National Grid ESO (soon to become NESO) for โpractical adviceโ on achieving a clean power grid by 2030. In other words, neither Ed Miliband nor Stark have the faintest clue how to deliver a net zero carbon grid by 2030.
The letter goes on to detail the advice they need which includes a range of pathways to enable a decarbonised power system by 2030. For each pathway they ask that Slye sets out the energy generation and demand mix and the underlying assumptions that need to be met for these to be deliverable. They also ask for the key requirements for the transmission network and interconnectors. Interestingly, they do not ask for any information about the distribution network. They also ask for a high-level view of the costs, benefits, opportunities, challenges and risks as well as the key actions to be taken by Government, NESO, Ofgem and industry to enable delivery of the pathways.
...
The letter from Miliband and Stark puts Fintan Slye in an exceedingly difficult position. Only last month, NG ESO launched their latest Future Energy Pathways (covered here) which were supposed to demonstrate a โa narrower range of outcomes to drive more strategic, credible routes to net zero.โ The trouble is all the โcredible routesโ included very significant CO2 emissions for power generation in 2030.
To comply with the request from Government, Slye and his team have to completely re-hash this yearโs FES โcredibleโ pathways, deliver a completely new set of pathways and somehow pretend that the new pathways are plausible. The extra difficulty arises because FES2024 had it its own credibility problem because it called for a halving of per capita energy use by 2050, had deindustrialisation built in, assumed the use of as yet unproven and expensive technologies to deliver unrealistic amounts of hydrogen and relied upon carbon capture unicorns.
The change in FES 2024 from scenarios to pathways was supposed to bring in โadditional economic modelling,โ but such modelling was conspicuous by its absence. Now Slye must deliver the previously non-existent cost benefit analysis for these new pathways within three months. That is a very tall order indeed.
The big question is whether NG ESO can maintain the pretence that a net zero grid by 2030 is achievable and economically viable and lose whatever remaining credibility they have, or will they be the first to point out that Mad Emperor Ed has no clothes?

Australians told to cut back on beef to save world from climate change
Australians will need to cut back on red meat and ditch petrol cars for electric vehicles in order to reach net zero emissions by 2050, according to the government agency advising Anthony Albanese on climate change.

Ed Miliband โconsiders scrapping wind power targetโ
Energy Department insists it is still committed to 55 GW of offshore capacity by 2030

Hmm, not so sure Our Nhs is the envy of anywhere in the world.
All these Cities under water in 26 years 
If climate change doesn't stop this will be our world in 2050
This is what the world will look like in 2050 when climate change has raised ocean water levels to the point of submerging entire cities. The images are a recreation carried out by Climate Central, an NGO that fights against the climate crisis. The first image is of Havana swallowed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Then other cities appear that would become 'new Venices': in order, we see Washington D.C, London, Seville, Hong Kong, Paradise Island, Dubai, Antwerp, Adelaide, Melbourne, Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Nice, Dublin, Victoria (Canada), Quebec, Stockholm, Guangzhou, Taipei, Anglet, Split, Barcelona, The Hague, Tunisia, Palm Beach, San Francisco....

In the meantime banks offer mortgages for all these placesโฆand Obama has bought an ocean front holiday home less than 1 metre above sea level.
And the new multi billion euro docks at Rotterdam will be useless.

This might be the first nation officially erased by climate change
Tuvalu is widely considered one of the first countries likely to be significantly impacted by rising sea levels due to global climate change.
But wait, oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fact check: Is the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu growing, and not sinking?
Coalition backbencher Craig Kelly says that the low-lying Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is growing, rather than sinking. Fact Check finds that checks out.
www.abc.net.au
Is the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu growing, and not sinking, as Craig Kelly says?
The verdict
Mr Kelly's claim checks out.In the four decades to 2014, Tuvalu's total land area grew by 73 hectares, or 2.9 per cent.

For several years I earned a living buying and selling domain names.
.tv is the country code extension for Tuvalu. When the climate liars came up with the โrising sea levelโ bullshit and made Tuvalu their headline nation, the market for .tv names dropped like a rock. Luckily I wasnโt heavily invested in them but some people got badly burned by that one.
So the year 2000 had the worst floods of the 21st centuryAnd they use York for the main picture

1625 and 1638 saw the Highest floods in York ever recorded. More recently there was serious flooding in 1947, 1978, 1991, and 1995. However, 2000 saw the worst floods on record for that century.

There's growing evidence that Ed Miliband is preparing to scrap the Labour Party (UK)'s much-vaunted target for building 55 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
Some of that evidence comes from his own advisors with experts like Chris Stark, head of Mr Miliband's 'Mission Control' team pushing low carbon energy. Asked about the growing challenge of hitting that target he told reporters โReaching the 2030 goal of clean power is more important than getting to those exact targets.โ
But perhaps the best evidence comes from the raw figures.
* The UK has 43 operational offshore wind farms with 2,765 offshore turbines, says RenewableUK.
* Their collective capacity is 15 GW (and they produced 15pc, or 49 terawatt hours (TWh), of the 317 TWh we used last year).
* The last Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Allocation Round achieved 4GW of new wind with another 1.5GW approved and awaiting construction
* ๐ฆ๐ผ ๐ ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ด๐๐ช ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฌ
* Existing machines average 5MW capacity but new ones are 10-15MW.
* Achieving 28GW would mean installing 2,000 to 3,000 new turbines by 2030 - roughly 1.5 per day. Current installation rates are far below this.
* So each of the next two allocation rounds would need to achieve 14GW - four times this year's result
* ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐'๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป? ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐น๐ ๐ป๐ผ-๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐!
That means it's all about political management and some careful media messaging.
Was 55GW of offshore wind ever really a target - or are we about to be told it was "just an 'aspiration"?

I love how people get into the weeds of all the political decision-making minutiae, instead of rolling up their sleeves and attaching Marxists to lampposts.
More theatre.
Your government screws you every year, lies to you, makes economic and social matters worse at every step and enriches itself by taking your money under false pretences (stealing) through multiple forms of extortion schemes (sometimes called taxation).
Do you:
Which approach could conceivably halt societal decline and even reverse it?
It's time to make decimation fun again.
Do you:
- Vote for the other guys this time, they'll fix it for sure?
- Stop voting, what's the point?
- Teach your government to fear its people by randomly selecting one-in-ten of them and setting them swinging from lampposts, until they learn to do better?

It might be enough.1 in 10 is a bit weak, maybe a starting point
Give it a week and if things are no better, go for one-in-five.
I just liked the idea of reviving the original meaning of the word, decimate.
