A Reform UK MP has said that scrapping the government’s “Net Stupid Zero” agenda could save families £1,000 a year, according to the Mail.

The government launched another round of “green subsidies—Allocation Round 7 (AR7)“, encouraging wind and solar firms to bid for multi-billion-pound taxpayer-funded contracts.

But Richard Tice MP warns this is a conceit Britain cannot afford. While families tighten their belts and essentials grow more expensive, this government remains devoted to a fantasy that is driving inflation, choking industry and battering ordinary households. The Bible says:

Ezek 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.

The cost of climate zealotry is not just ideological. It is economic oppression. Britain’s Net Zero policy is not a ‘plan for the planet’. It is punishment of the poor. Sign our Petition:

The green grenade

Electricity prices have soared, not due to market greed but due to state-engineered policies. According to Net Zero Watch, three-quarters of the rise in energy bills over the last decade is directly tied to green policies and lavish subsidies to wind and solar companies.

Closed: The Port Talbot Blast Furnaces

This is not just about household bills. It strikes at the heart of Britain’s ability to function. Energy undergirds everything: industry, transport, food, manufacturing. The notion that we can dismantle our reliable hydrocarbon base and rely on intermittent weather-based energy without consequences is naïve at best, wicked at worst. Britain’s electricity prices are the highest in the world, driven by subsidies paid for by energy consumers

Just today the Telegraph reported that we are importing cement because energy costs too much for firms to make much of it here. Glass works and pottery are moving overseas. Blast furnaces are being closed.

A legacy of folly from all parties

Politicians across parties have clung to the green gospel, a secular creed devoid of wisdom or foresight. These politicians have spent two decades pretending that “wind and sun” can replace gas, coal, and nuclear without cost.

The result is national vulnerability: rising prices, rolling blackouts, and supply chain uncertainty. While other countries secure reliable energy, Britain groans under utopian schemes and arrogant global targets. But coal, gas and oil are in the ground by the grace of God:

NetZero is being exposed as a sham

Mr Tice says has written to wind farm developers warning them that a future Reform government will refuse to continue the green subsidy bonanza. He is prepared to renegotiate contracts, cut off the “green blob,” and save ordinary families up to £1,000 a year by 2030.

Meanwhile, Energy & NetZero Secretary Ed Miliband MP is refusing to publish details of a green energy deal he has signed with China, America is scrapping green restrictions on cars, Ofcom is looking to shift more energy taxation onto middle-class families, pro-green energy company Octopus lied about HeatPump costs in its advertising, and the Met Office and the BBC have teamed up against ‘weather disinformation’, that is, sceptical climate comments.

A call to righteous rule and honest leadership

The Bible shows that leaders are put in place to enact godly policies which allow the people to flourish, not to oppress or impoverish the people:

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

We call upon Christians to pray for the Lord to raise up leaders with courage to fear God more than activists, and to restore biblical justice in public policy, including taxation.

The green gods of this age promise peace—but they bring only poverty. The answer lies not in windmills but in wisdom. But that will need humility from those in authority:

Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
