Short on detail, against the evidence and advice of energy experts too but that won’t stop him.
Surely the people of Somerset can see Lord Snooty for the charlatan he is by now?

I do point it out over and over again. So do many others, including a few other politicians.
//How on earth do you know who to vote for if you don't believe a word that any of them say?//
You make your decision based on what has happened in the past (with independent corroboration if it is something a politician has told you), not what politicians promise you will happen in the future.
There is no way politicians can be prevented from lying. It’s like trying to stop bears doing what they do in the woods. Other politicians are unlikely to be too robust in their challenges – “There but for the Grace of God” etc. Voters must realise this and act accordingly.

If the lights do go out, dt, you can guarantee that the same people that criticise every step this Government takes will be at the forefront of the subsequent protests/whingefest. Not just on AB either.
And
a) I'm not wealthy
b) Don't live in the home counties
c) I'm not a woman
before the AB bully boys start frothing at the mouth and snarling their juvenile insults at me.
i posted this before but fracking is extremely unlikely to help with the energy crisis... best estimates suggest the UK has enough shale gase to meet less than ten years of energy consumption... and such gas as there is is very deep and expensive to extract... even producing it at all will take years and the benefits will be short lived...

as far as i can see nobody has produced more authoritative research on the subject…
fracking companies insist that 50 year deposits are available but in the immortal words of Mandy Rice-Davies… they would say that wouldn't they!
If the govt had listened to Insulate Britain then UK energy demand would be significantly lower in the winter than it is now... they were absolutely right about the urgent need for insulation. Renewable energy sources are also much cheaper and usually faster to produce too, though they can be less reliable i think they are our best short or medium term bet… nuclear power is probably our best bet long-term but it is slow and costly to build.
