‘It’s ridiculous, it’s all virtue signalling BS…Until 2050 the net zero target is going to cost every household a thousand pounds!’
Howard Cox from FairFuelUK says electric cars ‘are not practical’ despite hopes to ban petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

About The Author
What about maintenance? What about life expectancy? When the system needs upgrading, is the new stuff going to be able to be just attached to the old stuff? What happens when a solar panel malfunctions or a blade on wind turbine falls of who is going to be billed with repairs us the taxpayers
We are going to save x amount, but it's going to cost 8 times to set it up, so by the time we've paid for the initial set-up, we will most properly be due to up date the systems so will have saved -800% by 2050
Too bad everyone will be too broke to enjoy renewables by 2051
Net Zero is nothing to do with climate.
It is a WEF control tactic.
If you can't see that, there is no hope.
REFORM UK. Last chance.
If the best argument the eco nutters can make to counter this man is death threats and dog shit you know what we are up against and should treat them accordingly.
The Ice caps are growing and Polar Bear numbers have been rising since the ban on hunting back in 1971. Several countries are not considering a cull as they have too many Polar Bears.
Net zero ain't going to happen, no matter how much it costs the long-suffering taxpayer. The raw materials alone aren't available.
Nothing to do, with Howard Cox , getting money off fuel off lobby groups ????
They are being told by the WEF that car ownership is to be banned for the many. Only the elite will be allowed to drive. The plebs can ride bicycles, walk or take public transport.
Who signed us up to net zero,where was the vote for it
The climate lie is the the gift that keeps on giving!! 🤡
Well said I totally agree I don't have a problem with people who want to drive an EV but I DO have a problem with being told that I have to drive one .That is removing my right to choice and freedom of movement.
the target needs to be scraped who says we should conform to ridicules mandates !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES to the Natural family NO to the LGBT Lobby, YES to sexual identity NO to gender ideology NO to islamist violence YES to secure borders NO to mass migration NO to Big international finance No to the bureaucrats of Brussels and Klaus Schwab & the WEF, No to the green agenda No to the voice No to Agenda 21, No to Cop27, Yes to Reparations from Chinna for covid. no to lock downs, no to vaccine passports
End the green nonsense , i want my gas boiler i want my petrol car, I don't want to eat bugs, i don't want big brother control, Absolute No to 15 minute city concept
People need to make a stand and say enough is enough. Governments and councils are stealing our living standards through new taxes. It must be stopped. People are dying at hospitals. People are unable to put food on the table. People power can stop this madness. If we all downed our tools for the day the economy would come to standstill. They know nothing of peoples struggles. But as soon as they lose money and hit them where it hurts they will come to their senses. It's greed pure and simple.
Where the hell is democracy? We should have a referendum on stopping petrol/ diesel car production. Looks a very WEF commie state control by the GREEDY RICH ELITE. A money making racket by the bloody elite, using the silly left woke civil service control. 🇬🇧👍 VOTE REFORM PARTY – SAVE REAL UK.
Your government is at war with you?
Your government works for China/WEF ?as they are the ones who benefit
The track and trace which did not work, you know, the one where the governement just gave the money to their (already) rich mates, cost every household in this country £1,825.
There was a 6hr wait at Tebay services on one day over christmas, then you had to wait for the car to charge, the total time queuing and charging was longer than most of the trips these drivers were taking.
World's smallest violin 🎻
Our power grid could not cope with so many charging points. Supplies will be less with green energy and a lot more expensive with the doubling up of green and fossil power.Already housing developments are being stopped as we cannot cope with additional loadings. A load of problems are not being exposed as usual. DISASTER IS GUARANTEED.
When politicians do u turns often . Why can't they do a u turn on bad ideas. Ethanol doing the opposite of its intension. Then double the amount ????? . All electric when there is not the energy or infrastructure to work.
These people dont live in the real world .Nett zero is unnecessary . This planet is far stronger than us humans . climate has changed since time began . They are playing god .
All part of the world economic forum's great reset plan green new deal all to destroy society as we know it
You would not believe that we are a energy rich country, technology rich society and a great capacity for innovation! However our biggest weakness is that our political classes are sheep, being led by the likes of WEF, the UN and worst of all the EU, bodies who wish to use our global political position to create change, change that is being orchestrated by Globalists!
Check out kids mining lithium in the Congo..
Look at how much concrete and steel and rare earth materials for one wind turbine and the life of them,It is crazy..lol
Net zero? They do have to manufacture the car and a lot of that pollution is made in 3 world countries, including China… and the electricity? England is a cloudy place where is coming from? Oil . Disposal of cars at the end of life is done where? 3 rd world countries. Nobody ever tells the truth about the whole picture, ever. Ev fantasy..
Great Work Howard….we are behind you and agree that this illogical net zero extremism is total BS.
Its not for politicians to dictate to me what type of car I can drive.
I will never succumb to this lunacy…people need to send a clear message to these net zero lunatics.
Stop worrying about petrol, diesel or electric. You won't "be allowed" to own a car soon. Only very rich folk will be driving on empty roads. The WEF is coming after your cars, your home, and holidays abroad? Forget it. You'll own nothing and they'll be happy, very happy.
Starting to look like the push to get more people cycling is less to do with saving the planet, and more to do with preventing the national grid from imploding. There simply won't be enough electricity to go around. We're facing a horrible future of control and being told what we can and can't do.
There’s no such thing as net zero , we are being lied to , conned , we are being forced into something that’s not going to work … Have you not realised they don’t allow anything on tv to prove or argue it all lies , they just push there crap …
Common sense doesn't fit the hypocrisy of this globalist government.. Its there way or no way, they don't want us on the roads and that's that, I'm bloody sick of it all! My diesel car works just fine, they asked for cleaner cars we produced ckeaner cars now its not good enough. We must keep fighting this crazy world.
What are we saving the planet for ? presumeably future generations, the way we are going we will be too malnourished from eating vegan, too separated because we can't use cars and too exhausted from walking and cycling to have the energy to make the next generations, who we then cannot feed or keep warm. I am generally wary of conspiracy theories, but on this occasion I am concerned that a small group of people are getting disgustingly rich, by which I mean those receiving massive government subsidies to produce so called green energy and cars, while the rest of us become, colder, poorer and less free. I say so called as your report suggests that if we take the whole lifecycle of an electric car it is not any greener than a petrol one, although I am more concerned about the child slavery used to get the raw matierials.
What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO2 from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world – that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison. – Dr Richard Lindzen
Repeal the climate change act.
Government
"we can not be dependant of russia for gas "
Also Government
"WE MUST GO ELECTRIC!!!" ….Shackling our selves to China for Lithium cadmium, cobalt etc to create batteries
Net zero is code for the great reset. Vote reform UK
And all this for fricken what? Maybe if you forced China, India etc. to close their coal power plants, CO2 may stop rising. But what difference would it make to climate? Zero, one volcano eruption would wipe it all off. And there is over 200 volcanoes under the sea which are continuously active…
What happened to the freedom of choice .
I don't want a electric car thanks..
Stop cutting down the rain forist spend more money on clean power … it's just government properganda
Forgive me father I have sinned
I drive a diesel car …😱
The climate change act doesn't help the UK economy to become wealthier so get rid of it.
I am a long distance lorry driver is anybody ever driven on a motorway come up with the speed limit are off the hedge I've never seen many people driving 65 mph on a motorway anyway but not that busy nobody's driving not fast what a load of s*** people that come up these ideas actually I don't know where they are living at the moment and by the way charging electric car on a motorway services cost you more money buying diesel only way you get cheap electricity if you plug into your house how many people have driveways the people in the City do not have a driveway
Nobody's talking about you're going to have to upgrade all the electrical cables in cities and towns because there's only so much kW can be sent down those cables to eat Street and have you start putting electric heaters and fit to heat your house central heating and then 7 kW power points for all your electric cars that is not going to happen only so many kW can go down the cable in your area or you overloaded it
EV owners are helping the government to punish the poor
Ridiculous. We do not have enough charging points. We do not have grid capacity. We do not have the infrastructure. Manufacturing is not environmentally friendly. I was given an electric vehicle when I had my car serviced. It was cold and at 80% charge, it just got me home and back and I had to turn the heating off. Anxiety was not in it. In our village there is poor public transport and there are 5 charging points planned for 500 residents who do not have a garage or drive. We also have tourists. There will be fights! This is stupid, controlling and does not even make sense regarding emissions. It will not be sorted in 7 years. Madness.
Net zero is illegal if people want to drive diesel cars they can eco warriors are brainless and clueless wokism clowns.
net ero means we will have nothing
Climate change alarmism is unessary
Howard Cox is about as numerate as Al Gore.
ITs already costing us more than £1000 per year, due to rising energy prices due to shutting down domestic fossil fuels and being at the whim of foreign energy producers, a.k.a getting screwed.
Well said Howard Cox. Common sense needs to be more common.
Howard Cox needs to be pm he speaks a lot sense
