Just Stop Oil donor turned pro-Labour election campaigner Dale Vince has claimed “China’s a world leader in renewables“. Vince says “all my right wing friends who like to say ‘what about China?’” are wrong thanks to an article in Carbon Brief saying the country is “all but guaranteed to push fossil-fuel electricity generation and CO2 emissions into decline“. CCP propagandists couldn’t write it better themselves…
Those not living in eco-communist fantasy land will note China accounted for 30.9% of global carbon emissions in 2021 and embarked on a huge coal-fired power station building spree in summer 2022 which shows little sign of slowing down. China’s Net Zero target date, meanwhile, is 2060 and the country is rated “highly insufficient” on climateactiontracker.org. More hot air from Vince…
Top eco-loon entrepreneur Dale Vince is abandoning Just Stop Oil as he’s come to the conclusion that “further protests and the disruption that comes with them are pointless” and are actually “counterproductive”. He says he won’t give them any more funding. Someone’s caught up…
Vince is instead launching “Just Vote 24”, a “youth vote” campaign that aims to encourage young environmentalists to elect a “green government”. Helpfully Vince acknowledges that “it’s a fact of our electoral system that only one of two parties can form the next government”, so we can rest assured that this will be another “Youthquake”-style pro-Labour campaign. He’s already given Starmer £1.5 million, so why not make it official…

Green energy tycoon and Labour bankroller, Dale Vince, is yet again putting profit before his own principles. This time, he’s facing opposition from local Green Party councillors over his proposed plan to develop a Stroud office building into 18 flats. Their list of environmental complaints is long and includes:
Conservation experts also add that, without mitigation, the plans “do not adequately address the requirements of The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017″…
This is far from the first time Just Stop Oil-loving Dale has put his anti-growth ideals on the back burner. He also made £65 million selling ‘dirty gas’ and plans to launch his own fleet of jet-fuel burning domestic airliners. His eco-agenda increasingly seems to apply to others…
Guido reported in July that Eco-Loon entrepreneur and top Just Stop Oil donor Dale Vince was launching an green airline whose “EcoJets” will actually run off plain old filthy jet fuel. Guido can reveal that Vince’s Ecotricity, “Britain’s greenest energy company,” isn’t much better.
Ecotricity, which along with its sister companies has received over £100m in subsidies since 2002, claims that their “green gasmills” will produce clean energy from grass cuttings because burnt gas “will be reabsorbed when the grass grows back.” The only problem is, they don’t currently exist.
Ecotricity, admits that, “currently, about 1% of the gas we supply comes from other green gas mills, and the rest is natural gas. The residual carbon emissions from our fossil fuel gas are offset by investing in carbon reduction schemes around the world to carbon neutralise all the gas we supply.” Quelle surprise…
The only problem is, when Guido spoke to Vince’s beneficiary Just Stop Oil about carbon offsetting, they supplied a starkly different view. When a company claims their offset natural gas is green, “they’re lying.” The orange warriors’ spokesman agreed that there are “no offsetting projects that nullify the environmental cost of selling natural gas.” That means that the £65m Ecotricity made from the sale of gas in 2022 is “dirty money”…
In fact, Guido was told categorically that “the only way is an immediate transition to renewable energy” and that the UK needs to abandon “archaic technology from the 20th century.” Like Vince’s natural gas…
When natural gas is offset using various schemes in the third world, such as Ecotricity’s in Indonesia and the Ivory Coast, Just Stop Oil helpfully commented that there is “no guarantee that they take carbon out of the atmosphere,” and that trees that are planted “all fucking die.” Well put…
Presumably the eco warriors will return the funds they’ve received from their sham green benefactor. Now that they’ve torn his green credentials to shreds…
IPSO has finally responded to Dale Vince’s complaint this May that The Sun had somehow breached the Editors’ Code of Practice with an article headlined “ECO STOOGE Sir Keir Starmer held secret talks with Just Stop Oil donor days before revealing plan to bin new oil licences”. The Just Stop Oil-backing millionaire actually took the time to complain the use of just one word: He denied that the meeting was “secret”…
After a protracted back and forth – The Sun refused to back down, insisting the article wasn’t inaccurate, and the discussions were not publicly known – IPSO’s Complaints Committee “did not make a determination” as to who was right. Instead, “as a gesture of goodwill“, The Sun have removed the word “secret“, and kept everything else in the story exactly the same. He’s still described as an ECO STOOGE. Apparently Vince has decided not to take things further, and the removal of “secret“, even from the article’s web link, is good enough. This took about three months of investigations. And people complain these Just Stop Oil loons have too much time on their hands…
Read the ruling here…
Eco-Loon entrepreneur extraordinaire and Labour mega donor, Dale Vince, is set to launch his own domestic airline. In a press release, ecotricity say their new airline, Ecojet, will be an “aviation revolution”, paving the way for “the world’s first electric airline powered by renewable energy.” The trouble is, the technology hasn’t quite caught up to Dale’s ambitions…
Vince’s jets will, eventually, be powered by hydrogen-electric powertrains. However, hydrogen-electric powertrains aren’t yet approved by the Civil Aviation Authority. Until then, his domestic airline will run on… jet fuel.
Yes, you read that right. A major bankroller of Just Stop Oil, the group blocking Britain’s road to demand an end to oil, will burn tonnes of oil. Just to boost his own bank balance. If all goes to plan for Ecojet, retrofits will begin in 2025 – after they’ve been running domestic flights, which are more carbon-intensive than any other form of travel, for over a year. The sky’s the limit for Dale’s hypocrisy.
