The UK’s disastrous energy policy in pursuit of Net Zero virtue signalling is home to roost. Our unwillingness to produce affordable energy unlike every other sensible country in the world has crippled our industry, households, and food production. It drives inflation, and makes us totally uncompetitive.
Couldn’t agree more. This Conservative Government (no more) has been brainwashed by the Corporate and Institutional green lobby and are absolutely petrified to be seen to step out of line despite the line they are taking will make us poorer, colder and hungrier. It would seem that Labour will take on the title of patsy when next in power much to the Conservative’s relief.

Governments can’t fix these things. The Germans have been successful because German consumers – who are two generations away from the starvation of the 1940s – will buy the German product even when the imported product is both cheaper and better. In the British middle class the opposite is true. A house – and drive – full of imported goods is seen as conferring status. Until we change that our industrial decline will continue.

When I first read the heading I had a vision of Biden wiping a speck of dandruff off his shoulder before meeting the press. The dandruff looked like Hunt.
Interesting that Americans will continue to support the IRA.
The Americans have no choice. The law was passed.
I love love the quote: “… unless, that is, the taxpayer is put on the hook should anything go wrong.” It seems to sum up the state of affairs in both countries. Private business seeking an unfair advantage. Doesn’t sound very capitalistic to me.

“Nuclear is an outdated technology notorious for its cost overruns”.
Nuclear is the only proven means of producing non emitting baseload electricity at scale.
The cost overruns are because mega projects are essentially one offs. Small modular reactors offer the prospect of factory built standardised reactors that will become cheaper the more that are built.

The point of all this is when America does something wrong the UK catch a cold. The recent banking issue is a case in hand. As I’ve pointed out on here before Biden is spending money he and America don’t have and there will be consequences for America with the knock on to Britain too. https://nybreaking.com/alex-brummer-the-usas-looming-debt-crisis/

We will target public funding in a strategic way”
Sounds horribly like nationalising failed industries to me. Governments are notoriously crap at picking winers.

It’s exactly what one expects from Hunt; one of the most incompetent politicians of our times, and utterly unfitted to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Even when he does things I agree with (market deregulation for instance) I have to think through my own views and wonder if I have got it wrong somewhere.
There is no intellectual coherence in his views, and I am sure he does not have any political philosophy. With him in the Treasury and the current Governor of the Bank of England, what hope have we got!

So much wrong with this piece it’s hard to know where to start. The question is not why Hunt is criticising Biden, it’s why is everyone else not.
Nuclear is not outdated – the EU has just declared it “sustainable”. And the market has recently been pointing its bargepoles very much in the direction of nuclear.

I will agree with his last sentence though.

Biden? I thought he was called Jacob Kreutzfeld?
Biden is nothing more than a sock puppet dressed in a blue suit and sunglasses.
