Expensive Energy Kills People: The Devastating Cost of Net Zero – Ben Habib in Conversation with Kathryn Porter
At Advance UK, we refuse to accept slogans over reality. In this powerful episode of Fearless, our leader Ben Habib sits down with independent energy consultant and Watt-Logic founder Kathryn Porter – a physicist with deep expertise in energy finance and engineering – to confront the harsh truths of Britain’s failing energy policy.
Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, pushed by policymakers who lack basic understanding of physics, engineering, and economics, is making energy unaffordable and unreliable. Wind and solar are not the cheap solutions they claim to be. Intermittency, grid instability, hidden subsidies, and massive infrastructure costs are forcing households, businesses, and industry to pay the price for political fantasy.
The human cost is tragic: soaring bills drive fuel poverty, which contributes directly to excess winter deaths. Blackouts are no longer a distant risk but a logical outcome of redesigning a once-robust system on flawed green dogma. We discuss Britain’s dangerous dependence on China for critical supply chains, the real environmental damage behind so-called renewables, the folly of pushing electric vehicles without reliable power, and how overregulation and EPC rules are hammering homeowners.
Worse still, competence has been sacrificed for ideology. DEI initiatives, arts graduates in technical roles, and civil servants recruited from environmental lobby groups have undermined expertise across critical infrastructure. Delivery must come before representation. Diversity of thought – not box-ticking – is what Britain desperately needs.
This is not abstract debate. It is about whether we can heat our homes, power our industries, and secure our future as a sovereign nation. Net Zero is sold as compassion, but in practice it leaves ordinary people colder, poorer, and more vulnerable.
Advance UK stands for pragmatic, evidence-based policy that puts British energy security, affordability, and prosperity first. We reject fantasy and demand competence.
