Zerocarbonista

This week - The invisible conference, King Coal dethroned and the green energy Six Pointer. Uncle Sam’s Fat Beardo problem and Blair’s new war zone gig. Farage makes Dale an offer - while members plan green energy investment. We ask, is Octopus the new mouthpiece of the right and this Jenrick bloke - litter picking in Brum? We find sanity in our listener questions….and fun in X Rated corner.Oh and we tease next week….Terrorists v freedom fighters  

The Giga Poll launches at an Endurance event - it's what Britain really thinks. Along with social media fun on a ladder - the green economy in one minute and Dale’s view on Keir’s speech – oh, and why the public is pissed off.  A cup of tea with Margaret Thatcher stuns the Daily Telegraph... and Full Metal Ed ends it all with a bang.Meanwhile - Palestine is a country... who knew – Dale recounts the event, heckles Jezza who has a snappy comeback and leaves in tears. Ian shares the etymology of Tosspot, while we explore a suitable collective noun for our new diss term ‘Musk’ - VAT, Ecotalk, Zack Polanski and Trump are the icing on the cake on the nutty fruit cake…..this one is chock full…. 

Fake news on the left and the right - Dale is a Driller? - Apt when the Leader of the Fact Free world is in town, C4 blows him up - but is he such a bad man...? Dale gets philosophical about the medicine of football and the origin of slurs - and trumps genitals and the animal kingdom.  Listeners take us back to grass for food, plant based populism and energy while X-Rated Corner never disappoints..  

Football as medicine, a revelation from Dale and rejection from Reform, Farage meanwhile gets the spoon and we ask if he is dodging tax… China tops the league and Dale wants to save the North Sea, great questions from listeners - green populism and food and parcels of energy, while on X-Rated Corner we’ve some odd ideas about grass and cows…..  

Trump might say that but Dale knows. And it’s in the news this week. Meanwhile Farage speaks out for Angie, or does he, Badenoch’s backstory looks bogus, Stroud has a new flag poll, Reform clamps down on free speech.  Robbie Savage sets FGR on fire.  And our X rated corner friends have their usual obsessions. Welcome to the new season - Don’t Panic.

Believe it or not, not everyone is fully on board with Dale! Crazy as it sounds, there are a few dissenters and they're only too happy to let him know their thoughts. Enjoy this compilation of slices from X-Rated Corner, before a brand new episode of a brand new series drops on Friday September 5th. That's next week!

We're all looking forward to the next series (current title: TBC) - but in the meantime, here's a second chunk of wholesome goodness from The Cow In The Room to chew on while you're waiting. Next up - the X-Rated Corner special, before a brand new ep on Friday September 5.

While the boys take a moment to prepare for the launch of the next series (and come up with a title!), here's a tasty compilation of some of the best bits of Cow In The Room. 

Dale gets a new motor, talks taxes for the rich and justice for the Beanfield, recognition for Palestine, Football on prescription and Octopus in the dock. With a sprinkling of Trump we also look at the Musk mini-me, stomping around councils up north.  And if that’s not enough we got listeners lining up to start the revolution.  While X-rated corner has less frivolous things on it’s mind.  Super fabulous final episode of the series.  And we still need a name……for the next series…

Trump, Superman, zombie fish and adverts on Truth Social… A big legal story and a blizzard of media stuff, vegan shirts, football on prescription, the network for nature and an LBC phone in that nearly lands Dale in jail.  You want more - X-rated Corner has it..:)  

The endless heatwave, Reform nonsense over climate emergency, and brilliant ‘Red Ed’.Sixty Labour MPs make a stand over the state of Palestine – and support for nurses wearing supportive pin badges. Sweeteners for EV cars while 5 million kids can’t be fed. The fishy salmon business repeating itself.The perfect pitch for a mindful moment. Listeners get us talking about generators at Wembley, ‘breaking the link’ but not the right one – and dressing for the summer.

Bring on the wealth tax, zonal pricing is toast, and Dale’s new moniker ‘Power Baron’.Trump and Musk bromance well and truly dead… Sadiq Khan’s low-traffic neighbourhoods keeping people alive … and energy use by AI slashed. Fighting the planners over flying Palestinian flag whilst the IDF keeps murdering. And listeners ask about Glasto politics and small windmills. In X-rated corner there’s gripes on tax paid, protesters and vegan food… 

Glasto, Kneecap and Vylanous words….the Rabbi with no sense of morality, Ecotricity flies a new flag, FGR get a new manager, onshore wind gets a big boost and a tiny insect turns people vegan….while listeners get us talking about heat pumps, data centres and air pollution - and haircuts….:)

Fresh off a 2-hour interview with the FT, Dale stops in for a chat before he takes his big-arse-battery to Glasto. This week, Trump's got a potty mouth, Ecotricity's customer service is top of the pile, and apparently a bit of paint now counts as terrorism...

China's on fire this week, with an amazing solar energy break through and stunning electric car progress…While in Britain we're fusion dreaming and factory farmers' dreams - turn to shite.Our friends on X give us Net Zero talking - pub politics versus vegan bistros…fair play. Even though half a cup of cheap coffee a week pays for your Net Zero cost.And listeners ask the usual great questions. How much green will it take to bring prices down, how best to long haul electricity?And what is that bike?

Jam packed week this - Dale has the spending review blues, we talk Sizewell and the simple alternative we already have (it’s not green either) and the dynamite revelation about Hinkley. Big focus on homes, affordable or not, the rooftop revolution we need and the Swift brick gets explained.  Meanwhile economists put a number on the cost of Reform’s Nexit…western media go all estate agent in the Middle East and Dale meets Gordo.  On point Qs from our listeners rounded off with more X rated nonsense than you can shake a stick at.

Dale’s been busy in the media, this weeks right wing nut is the vigilante on the utube, we talk enemies of the state, Thatcher, and the Battle of the Beanfield - call for Drax to come clean or get no more cash - and ask is it the end for heat pumps…..Great questions from our listeners on green gas and stuff, while our X rated friends obsess about what Dale wears.  Jeez.  More green blather than you can shake a stick at.

In the news this week is Breaking the Link (again) this time in the Mirror - as Scotland considers Ecocide and Dale makes the case. Tesla sales dive as the market booms - Carma?  China sets another record - this time as an Electrostate. And competing offshore wind farmers fire up their models and their lawyers over wind theft - or is it queue jumping. A new report shines the light on Cameron’s hideous school dinner law - and we reflect on his relationship with that pig’s head. Our listeners chip in with some great questions and our X rated friends don't let us down.  Oh and the Right wing nut of the week is from Reform, but secretly one of us we think.

Dale goes to Europe by rail - pens an op ed on the Eurostar for the Telegraph - and the world changes radically.  Britain lands a trade deal with Europe, Farage says he’ll end it - Keminoch already said that - but would an AI version be a better leader - we think it might.  The RSPCA endorse fish brutality and then don’t, as another exposé empties supermarket shelves. Listener Qs and contributions on X round off another hoot..

Once again we bring news of the good deeds of the Donald.  Tony Blair nearly wins right-wing nut of the week for his crazy pro fossil intervention on behalf of his petro state clients, but he’s pipped by the Tories' energy man who probably believes the Earth is flat and definitely won’t get to do that which he says he will do. We talk Dale writing for the Telegraph on Gaza and the crazy things our Government says about trade - more important than law apparently….breaking the link rears its head again as the man they call ‘Red Ed’ might need more money for his 2030 target.  And if that’s not enough our listeners and X rated trolls have a bundle of good, bad and generally fun things to add.
