Rishi Sunak has backed future oil and gas development in the North Sea but also announced two further carbon capture and storage projects would go ahead as part of the drive for net zero.
The Government has now committed to providing up to £20 billion of funding for early deployment of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), with the Acorn project in Scotland’s north east now receiving support, along with the Viking project in the Humber.
They become the third and fourth such projects to be backed by the UK Government, with the announcement coming as Mr Sunak committed to future oil and gas licensing rounds for the North Sea.
TalkTV’s Alex Phillips is joined by former Green Party leader Baroness Natalie Bennett before her panel debate Net Zero policies following the Prime Minister’s U-turn on green policy.
TalkRadio Political Editor Peter Cardwell argues that the UK will become “a poor beacon” if it leads the way on Net Zero.
“Net Zero is a myth. I don’t think we will reach it by 2050 and I don’t think it’s desirable for us as an economy or as a society.”

Ive an idea that people like me disabled and having asthma are better of with fossil fuels than without. The cold will kill me far quicker than anything else
just another antihumane greenmaniac is this baroness.
What does net zero mean in simple terms? I decided to look it up:
———-
The term net zero means achieving a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, and the carbon removed from it. This balance – or net zero – will happen when the amount of carbon we add to the atmosphere is no more than the amount removed.
———-
Okaaaay… So what are those values? Has anyone ever worked out how much C02 is removed from the atmosphere in any given year???
A bit more digging found this:
———-
About two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are being removed from the atmosphere every year, scientists have calculated for the first time. But nearly all of it is down to forests, despite growing investments in new technologies.
———
It's funny… I understood that the trees were the lungs of the planet decades ago…
I'm pleased that the boffins have finally caught up…
But the fact that the trees are absorbing quite a MAJORITY of the co2 in the atmosphere leads to a VERY real problem… That's the very same trees we're cutting down fast in order to turn them into woodchips (they call it biomass because when they admit that "20% of green energy comes from burning biomass", it doesn't sound quite so horrific as "20% of 'green' energy comes from burning trees"), then this biomass (that's TREES, remember) gets thrown into power station furnaces, to be burnt in the name of 'green' energy, to help to reduce the amount of co2 in the atmosphere 😮
It really is hard to understand how they make this 💩 up 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, I'm not joking. The thing that removes a huge amount of co2 from the atmosphere is destroyed and burnt in order to reduce the amount of co2 in the atmosphere.
Isn't it stunning; just how incredibly stupid these intelligent people can be.
Has anyone ever looked at the real-time live data that is available online, which shows the quality of the air in London?
I look at it – time and time again. And every time I look…. It's all GREEN!
The air quality in London is GOOD, according to the official monitoring station data.
Why can't they just call those maps up on these damn debates!!! 10 seconds, that's all it would take to call up these official maps – and the argument is over!
OVER!!!!!
ARGH 🤬
Global government spending on clean energy transitions rose to USD 1.2 trillion in 2022
Woohoo! World governments are trying hard to save us!!!
Total military spending worldwide that same year, amounted to USD 2.2 trillion
Boo! World governments, globally, are far more interested in killing us!
Just look at the numbers. You can see where their priorities really lie.. 😂😂😂
16 million trees cut down in scotland for green energy. alex phillips is very smart.
so we buy from Norway (THATS Norway’s gas) we buy from Qatar (that’s their gas/oil) we buy from Russia (that’s their gas) and that’s fine to these people……BUT to say well, we’ll use the same amount (while we transition to renewables) but we’ll use OUR OWN…….their reaction is……..NOOOO, you’re giving money to oil companies, you’re warming up the earth (balls), you’re killing us, you’re doing so much worse than China etc etc etc……..these people are just 🙄 like, it’s LITERALLY the same as arguing with a 4 year old, they have decided what way they want things to be and no matter what anyone says or shows them, they will never accept any other way, like a child throwing a tantrum!
Shouldn’t we be proud to be leading the world in net zero???? Is she for real? We owe it to China because we industrialised earlier?? WHAT??? So hundreds of thousands of our own citizens DIE because they can’t afford to heat their homes Or travel OR afford food………but we will be the biggest virtue signallers???? Someone check this blonde woman has a brain in her head. Never heard as much absolute muck in my life.
It's unhealthy to cook with gas? Why? What do we cook food with then. Electric stoves are expensive. So do we make a wood fire outside in the garden ( and what about flats) ? Oh no. Wood fire causes pollution! So we must eat uncooked foods. Ever tried to eat a potato like an apple?
It's not about the climate, it's about control.
baroness? how about donating the £1500 a week you get from the lords?
Zero carbon, means no life on earth, its a carbon based system,
"We owe it to the World" ?
Did we put out as much polution in 200 years as China now does in one ?
Wind doesn’t help. Please grow up.
Trump hater and there's the snap!!! left wing nut job!
'Net zero' is like 'two weeks to flatten the curve'. Its all bs.
The reason bus services are being closed is they are not suiting the public and are running almost empty for much of the time! The Greens have not accepted the fact that their ideas are unattainable and potentially disastrous for the country! It is simple economics that if we have the raw materials we use them rather than hide them and buy in from all over the world just to say we have met spurious targets of cleaning up the planets air quality!
It's all con there is no climate change emergency. It's green energy power companies scaremongering.
Another loon given air time
Climate change grifting. William Happer from Princeton university senior fellow at physics explains the climate change lies
These people are genuinely clueless, why are they even speaking about it.
Baroness Natalie Bennett, You are not a scientist so what make's you and expert? You are only going on hearsay and don't really know what you are talking about. You and your useless followers believe the lies of the UN and are busy making Fools of yourselves. So Stop all your BS. there is NO Climate emergency.
The UN pay the scientists to lie on the IPCC report to create fearmongering under the people like Baroness Natalie Bennett and her useless followers that have a low IQ and cannot think for themselves. They believe that 0.04% of the CO2 in our atmosphere today is causing this climate emergency. How stupid must you be to believe this BS, Please tell me that?
CO2 demonization is a cult dogma against Humanity, food growth demands CO2, we despise lab grown cancer based food.
where is this report stating 4000 people die from air pollution in London every year ? how credible is this ?
Brilliant news to hear the expensive green net zero baloney is pushed back. Love it 👍 Baroness Bennett is clearly deluded and is worried about her woke green ‘kick backs’ 🤑
Net zero is a total scam so is climate change
Where does she get we all agreed from i dont remember agreeing to anything
UK rushing back to the 1930s to meet all this Green Agenda Tripe…
No Electricity for 48 Hours and these youngster will be Begging the Grown ups… to power up the Fossil Fuel generators again.
Green party is a SCAM designed to enslave the world
These greens have no balance to their views and no idea of the scale of netzero. Hey are like overgrown students. Not right in the mind. Net zero will cost more than £10 trillion, without batteries for backup. That’s another £30 trillion .
Eco morons really p*ss me off
This privileged woman is an arrogant know nothing !
The blond is such a hypocrite. !
Natalie speak for herself, not for us. Its the kind of poison we need to root out and discard.
Rebeca, we didn’t all agreed, signing up to net zero was done without consultation.
