Has wind power REALLY saved the UK £104 billion?

Have you heard that wind power has saved the people of Great Britain over one hundred billion pounds in the last decade?

That's the contention of a new study, which has been eagerly picked up and run with by all and sundry across the media landscape this morning.

Is the claim true? We'll get to that.

First, a little background.

The lead author of the paper is Colm James O'Shea. He's a 55-year old hedge fund manager who returned to University in 2023 to get a Masters in Climate Change. Why? We don't know.

The Guardian calls him a "former hedge fund manager", but according to Companies House and his own LinkedIn profile he's still the CIO of COPAC, the hedge fund he created in 2006.

The holdings of COPAC are not currently publicly listed (and their website is peculiarly blank), so I don't know if the fund has any investments in Green Energy projects.

Prior to starting his own fund in 2006, O'Shea had worked for — among others — Soros Fund Management and Balyasny Europe Asset Management. His involvement with Balyasny extended past the end of his employment there, as they are listed as a LLP Designated Member of his COPAC fund from 2005-2009.

A cursory search doesn't show Balyasny to have any green energy holdings either, but they have been buying up gas projects since 2023, including some in Denmark as recently as July...which is potentially interesting.

Does Balyasny benefit from news coverage potentially lowering the price of gas infrastructure? Or are their purchases intended to somehow sabotage the market and increase the price of gas?

Impossible to say at this point. There's nothing concrete in any of this, but there are interesting questions to ask.

But back to the paper itself, and the key question: Has wind power REALLY saved the UK £104 billion?

Danish cartoon to cross breed
Like it or not, advertising is culture. Marketing is an expression of a society's norms, values and demographics. It is meant to serve the free market by appealing to either a target demographic or the most common demographic as a way to sell products and services. That said, advertising can also be used as propaganda, designed to sell ideologies rather than soda, cars and insurance.

This has been the primary setting of marketing in the west for at least the past ten years - The vast majority of commercials have political messaging embedded within them. Though it might not be obvious for the unaware, once you notice the patterns it's impossible to avoid them.

A new propaganda advertisement paid for by Denmark's state television and posing as a promotion for a science show called "Evolution."

Comment: Matthew 7:16 (KJV): "Ye shall know them by their fruits."

The Great 'Overnight' Replacement: The (Federal) Express decline and fall of Collierville, TN

For two generations, Bob's family didn't just work for FedEx; they were a part of the Collierville community that the company built. His father, a Collierville native, retired as a respected FedEx pilot. Bob followed him into the company, securing a white-collar technical role and the promise of the same stable, prosperous life in the town Parade magazine once named "Best Main Street" in America.

He remembers a different Collierville. A town of just over 10,000, where kids left their bikes unlocked outside the gas station and a trip to the store always meant running into someone you knew. "It was the type of community where... you could leave your bike unattended and not worry about it being stolen," he recalls.

That sense of security was built by FedEx. The company was the town's bedrock. "If you wanted to live a nice, comfortable life in Collierville, your best bet was working for FedEx," Bob says. A job there meant everything. It paid for new houses as the town grew, supported local businesses, and offered an almost unheard-of promise in modern America: lifelong job security. "The company was loyal to its employees, and they in turn were loyal to the company. Its reputation was otherworldly."

Russian President Vladimir Putin is the most popular leader in the world, American journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed, in an interview with RTVI US. Outside of Western Europe, Canada, and the "Anglo-sphere," it is almost impossible to meet someone who doesn't like Putin, Carlson told the network.

"He is the most popular leader in the world, by far," Carlson said, noting that the primary reason for Putin's global popularity is the fact that he has "put his own country's interests above his own in a lot of ways. In ways that Western leaders don't."
Asked if his perspective on Putin's worldview had changed after an interview with him in February 2024, Carlson said that he was surprised to realize that the Russian president "actually likes the West." And that he probably likes it "way more than anyone who would potentially replace Putin."

Two arrested over theft of jewels at Louvre museum in Paris

Two suspects have been arrested over the theft of precious crown jewels from Paris's Louvre museum, French media say.

The Paris prosecutor's office said one of the men had been taken into custody as he was preparing to take a flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Items worth €88m (£76m; $102m) were taken from the world's most-visited museum last Sunday, when four thieves wielding power tools broke into the building in broad daylight.

Israel permits Red Cross, Egyptian teams into Gaza to search for hostage bodies

Red Cross and Egyptian teams have been allowed beyond the "yellow line" in Gaza to help in the search for hostage remains, a government spokesperson said Sunday, Anadolu reports.

"Israel will maintain overall security control over the Gaza Strip, signaling that the Israeli army will continue to oversee security operations even after the current phase of fighting," added the spokesperson.

The "yellow line" is an imaginary line separating areas currently occupied by the Israeli army in Gaza from those where it had pulled out.

Comment: Notice Israel's lack of concern for the thousands of Palestinian civilians still buried in the rubble of Gaza.

On another front:
Israel continues to bar journalists from Gaza, claims to examine policy

The Israeli government plans to reexamine a policy barring journalists from entering the war-torn Gaza Strip, Anadolu reported on Sunday.

In a response sent to Israel's Supreme Court, the government said it would reexamine its policy regarding the entry of journalists into Gaza within a month and submit an update on the matter by Nov. 23, Haaretz newspaper said.

The move follows petitions filed with the court against a government ban on the entry of journalists into the Palestinian territory.

The government's response to the court shows that journalists would continue to be banned from entering Gaza except inside the so-called "yellow line" until the policy is updated

The "yellow line" is an imaginary line separating areas currently occupied by the Israeli army in Gaza from those where it had pulled out.

Last Thursday, the Foreign Press Association in Israel expressed disappointment over a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the government to continue preventing journalists from entering Gaza.

At least 238 Palestinian journalists have been killed and dozens injured in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

Palestinian and international human rights and media organizations warn that the Israeli ban on the entry of journalists and attacks on reporters aim to hide atrocities taking place inside Gaza.

Fury as 'hard-up' Met Police splurge £5million/year on 64-strong woke taskforce, as half its mounted officers to lose their jobs

Britain's biggest police force is to spend a staggering £5.2 million a year on employing 64 diversity staff, despite paring frontline services to the bone, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Metropolitan Police is committed to expanding its woke workforce despite slashing thousands of officers' jobs as it grapples with a £250 million funding gap, according to data exclusively obtained by this newspaper under a Freedom of Information request. The document also reveals the mind-boggling array of inclusivity projects in the force.

Among 63 events celebrated on a 'diversity calendar' are International Pronouns Day, Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness Day, Be Kind To Humankind Week and National Tsunami Awareness Week.

There are also 47 staff support networks including the Bisexual Support Group, the He For She gender equality movement, and the Borderline Personality Disorder network, as well as 19 associations for various ethnicities - including Ibero-American, Polish, Italian, Slavic and Romanian - and support for followers of every major religion.

The revelations come after the MoS revealed that Britain's public sector is splurging £70 million a year on woke equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) officers as frontline services are stretched to breaking point. Our analysis of the diversity gravy train found the NHS alone spends £40million on EDI jobs each year, despite the waiting list standing at 7.4million.

Comment: British society fragmentation - a lesson that will go down in the annals of history, herstory or itstory.

Best of the Web: US Navy helicopter and fighter jet from USS Nimitz crash in 'separate incidents' in the South China Sea, right as Trump flies over region

A US Navy helicopter and a fighter jet both crashed in the same half hour on Sunday during separate routine operations over the South China Sea, with all crew members safely rescued, the Navy's Pacific Fleet said.

The Navy has launched an investigation into the cause of both incidents that occurred over strategic waters seen as a potential flashpoint for global conflict.

US President Donald Trump called the back-to-back crashes "very unusual" and raised the possibility of a fuel problem while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, en route from Malaysia to Japan on Monday.

"They think it might be bad fuel. We're gonna find out. Nothing to hide, sir," Trump said in response to a question.

The Navy said on social media that a MH-60R Seahawk helicopter went down around 2:45 p.m. local time "while conducting routine operations from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz." Search-and-rescue crews rescued three crew members, the Navy said.

About 30 minutes later, an F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter also crashed while conducting routine operations from Nimitz. Both crew members ejected and were safely recovered, the Navy said.

German car manufacturer Porsche reports 99% collapse in operating profit as market pressures pile up

Porsche just posted its worst quarterly numbers ever, confirming a massive €1.1 billion ($1.2 billion) operating loss for Q3, after slamming the brakes on parts of its electric vehicle plans and rewriting its strategy across China and the United States.

That loss didn't show up as one clean figure, but came from multiple line items, including platform changes, restructuring, and rising tariffs. The numbers were buried in its nine-month results, where the damage spread wide.

Sales revenue for the first three quarters came in at €26.86 billion ($31.22 billion), which is 6% lower than last year. Operating profit cratered to just €40 million ($46.5 million), a 99% collapse from last year.

That meant return on sales (ROS), a key profitability gauge, dropped from 14.1% to a near-zero 0.2%. "This result fell clearly short of our expectations," said finance chief Dr. Jochen Breckner during the earnings presentation.

Comment: Brave words from Porsche on attempts to retrench. Mario Nawfal lays out the real reasons. Germany has committed industrial suicide at the behest of Brussels and the US, in service to Ukraine.

Harvard's unblinking hypocrisy: Dean denounces 'evil' police, 'whiteness'

Gregory Davis is really sorry for the "disruption." For a Harvard resident dean, one would think that he was referencing a malfunctioning fire alarm, not years of racist, hateful messages.

It is akin to Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger (D) referring to the "poor choice" of words of her endorsed candidate for attorney general, Jay Jones, when he said that he wanted to kill his political opponents and their children.

These figures reflect the cynical calculation that apologies are just background music in an age of rage — heard but not really registered.

Davis personifies the unblinking hypocrisy of Harvard. For several months, Harvard faculty have been portraying themselves as victims of political intolerance after the Trump administration sought to force the university to restore intellectual diversity in its departments. The same faculty that spent years purging conservatives and dissenters from their school hyperventilated at the notion that anyone else should object to ideological conformity.
