No, "Zero Net Zero" isn't the latest thriller documenting some daring SAS adventure, it's the ongoing yawn-a-thon regarding the quest for Net Zero, doomed to play interminably until the UK government finally collapses of its own staggeringly complacent idiocy, or gets taken down by a very cold and exceedingly angry populace.
Net Zero isn't coming any time soon - not whilst we have electricity in the grid anyway.
That's the only conclusion that seems rational, given that Ned Sillyband won't come clean on how and when, but it doesn't rule out that the whole mess will collapse and there won't be any electricity for the likes of you and me to be had from the grid. Not given the governments obsession with setting up innumerable shiny new but power-hungry AI Data Centres.
Although I don't doubt that even then, we will still be burning fossil fuel somewhere, maybe everywhere that diesel (for government use only) for generators powering our envy-of-the-world NHS is still available.
Form an orderly queue outside an A&E near you ...
The estimable Roger Arthur spills the beans.
