Net zero is bs.
Ask any non politics driven engineer.. the whole climate renewables thing is bogus.
The reality is this is nothing more than an investment company being set up and the clue's are in what he's saying this is a global thing and they want us onboard it's all about our money and the globalists are after it and our politicians are selling us down the river
Too many people making a lot of money from Net Zero. Perhaps an audit is needed as to whose bank accounts the money ends up in. Starting with donations to Labour perhaps?
If someone is talking about investment then it normally means taking your money and spending it on what they want to spend it on.
4:06 – so investors are waiting for more red tape, more cost to business, before they will risk their money?
Net zero = tax. Net zero is the biggest scam ever, alongside the so called "climate emergency," yapped on about by so many in the media, who haven't a clue. Net zero = tax. And the payers will be those who are already finding life hard. We need caring leaders, who understand the needs of the poor. Now.
Spending ridiculous amounts of money when we only emit around 1% of global emissions and the rest of the world will see the folly.
Batteries are the only way to store it and it would need to be an enormous battery bank and batteries fail also.
This guy just wants to make loads of money which is the aim of global warming
I'm a 42-year-old QA Specialist at Confluera, earning 150,000 annually. While I have a retirement account, I'm eager to explore short term investment opportunities before transitioning to part-time work in the coming years.
his argument is all self serving, for his business
Ahh, I see. it's not a cost, it's an investment! Hmmm. So, all of these investments by investors then, are they not expecting a PROFIT?! Oh, and therein lies the COST! My dear Lord, how stupid do these renewables grifters imagine we are?!
It's straight up communism, they decide everything
UK has truly lost it's Mind over trying to control 1% of Zero point Four percent of the Earth's Atmosphere !!
This guy's talking the biggest load of Tripe I've EVER Heard. !
Very few countries are going to throw away the future on the ev dream
And the point of England being green when 95% of world's population is not will be….. ?
The replacement of everything we do with oil, coal, gas and timber to be replaced with green energy is 11 trillion. Plus no imports or exports. No oil for ships. No concrete. No metals. No plastics. No synthetic clothes. Almost everything in your house when broken cannot be replaced. No fertilizer. Food very scarce and will have to be imported via the channel tunnel.
this guy knows bugger all.
Money for developing green energy, £hundreds of billions; UK grid to be expanded, at least £Millions,; storing electricity in batteries another few £billions. Cost to the public in tax & energy price in order to pay profits to the so-called investors? Who knows. Thankfully I will not be here in the long term when all these extra costs turn everyone into paupers!
Communist. What you must accept!
If you need one reason to vote Reform UK, surely this one will do?? These investors will only invest to make more money = tax payers money.
This gentleman (the interviewee) is poorly informed.
He may be a good financier, but shows little knowledge of the energy system or technology underpinning it.
To replace all UK transport with electric vehicles and all home heating with electric heating will require roughly tripling the size of the grid. As renewables address about half current needs, this will require an increase in renewables by a factor of six, with massive use of agricultural land. Currently renewables are heavily.subsidised and not reliable, have limited lifetime, and are generally not easily recyclable.
In the dark days of winter when wind is not blowing, battery storage would be required for backup. The estimated cost of this (10 days storage) would be roughly £1Trillion, charged either to taxpayers or consumers.
Current policies on Net Zero, advocated by the innumerate in all parties, are not sensible.
Currently it is only achievable with massive and unaffordable economic and environmental costs.
If as per the Climate Zealot says it will all be funded by investment, who will regulate the cost to the end user? What would be the cost per kwhr? Where will the battery banks be and what area of land will be needed? What is the anticipated pay back time on their investment?
Just a few trivial questions which need to be answered before we can even start down the slip pero slope to oblivion.
The US has made itself attactive to investment in US companies through their own tax system. It's got nothing to do with net zero. It's about increasing productivity through R&D. Trump did it
It is ironic that if the climate had not changed some 12,000 or so years ago – a minute ago in geologic time – from an ice age climate to a warmer one – then there would be far fewer Britons alive today to worry about it. Britain was covered in a sheet of ice during the ice age and today’s advanced technology society in Britain would have not been possible and those Britons around at the time would have had a far shorter life expectancy, and their lives were not pleasant – mostly, nasty, brutal and short, very short.
