Reform to ‘wage war’ against net zero ‘lunacy’ after local elections

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



The political pushback against futile climate obsession is moving forward. Voters who resent having their pockets picked via massive subsidies for renewables, while facing government pressure to buy expensive electric cars, unwanted heat pumps, and more, can clearly see an alternative.

Reform has said it will “wage war” against the “lunacy” of net zero after resounding successes in the local elections, reports LBC News.

Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, said it will use “every lever” to block renewable developments in the ten council areas it now controls.

The Labour government has pledged to achieve net zero by 2030 to combat climate change.

Many on the right, including Reform, view net zero as the reason for the UK’s high energy bills. Net zero advocates say energy costs are due to high wholesale gas prices. [Talkshop comment – electricity costs were already high when gas prices were lower].

Reform’s push to axe renewable projects comes are linked to a broader crusade against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives – which the party views as wasteful.

Mr Tice said he had written to developers of renewable projects in Lincolnshire, where the party won the mayoral election.

He said: “I’m now going to write again to them, saying now that we’ve won these elections, you need to be under no illusion. This is war. We will wage war against you people and your terrible ideas.

“If you think that you’re going to do this in the county of Lincolnshire, you are going to regret it. You’re going to waste your money.

“It’s going to be very painful financially, so you might as well take your money and your daft ideas elsewhere.”

Alex Wilson, a member of the London Assembly with Reform UK, said that his party was the only one that “doesn’t subscribe to the absolute lunacy of sacrificing our economy for Net Zero.”

Mr Wilson said that his party would “do whatever it takes to keep pushing this issue.”
