Net zero video

[Ihavenojob]

Scaremongering or a fairly accurate portrayal of things to come? A bit long, but some interesting thoughts.

It's a YouTube video about net zero, I'm going to guess it's *******s.

Any headlines?

 

[Ihavenojob]

I'm going to guess

That's the spirit.

It's 22 minutes long and your advert implied it might be scaremongering. I watched the first minute and since there as no point coming up I cut my losses.

What does it say?

What does it say?

It's an insidious piece of legislation designed to steal people's property and that it was introduced by an unelected prime minister.

And generally more of the same...

What does it say?

My take on it is that the Energy Protection Bill, now renamed just The Energy Bill ( to hinder people Googling it) is basically unachievable , and is just a ruse for the elite to confiscate your house, after they have taken away your car/freedom, so you have to live in a 15 minute ghetto. Mind you, other people viewing it may take a different slant on its points. Some may just guess without looking. I haven't read War and Peace, I could have a guess at what's in it and most likely get it wrong

 

[Odds]

Net Zero is predicted to fail in developed countries according to various sources - because Oil companies pay their lobbyists well. The use of pesticides has increased since leaving the EU and our rivers have become a toxic dumping ground by privatised water companies who pay the fine from a slush fund and bank their huge profits.
Does the video mention any of that?

Not sure farming and water comes under the energy bill.

Net Zero covers it, i'd say. That's the topic, no?

Haven't watched it. If all your money is going to ukraine, you will have nothing left. It's not scare mongering but simple economics.

That's stating the obvious. Good job it isn't.

The government since 2010 has been trying to promise as much as they can on environmental issues and deliver as little change as possible.

In particular they like promising things they won't have to deliver for a long time.

That's the topic,

no

The topic is about the video talking about the Energy Bill (the Bill formerly known as Energy Protection Bill) which may be used to coerce us to strive for the unachievable with threats of large fines and incarceration. I suppose water companies can cut back on energy usage by letting raw sewage run via gravity into rivers rather than using vast amounts of power to process it. Maybe that's a by product of the net zero pipe dream.

In that bill he talks about, there is piece of legislation that makes having a smart meter mandatory.
