Dale Vince's Zerocarbonista

This week - from vegan sea gulls to stunning football - the new study that destroys the green energy narrative of Farage, Badenoch and even Octopus….The exit tax that gives a budget clue, poisonous tap water and privatisation what did it ever do for us? Musk rants nonsense on hobbits and immigration …. and Reform, bless them, bumping into reality.  An awesome listener observation - a tale of two bacons in the Guardian ….and Dale fact checks himself - with FFS.

This week we got Piers Morgan, reborn as a woke person - Tony Blair, reborn as a green eyed monster and Reform - just being themselves.  Dale wins a pair of legal judgements, putting Reform’s Tice back in the dock along with the Daily Mail and a pre-internet media law (sounds like an oxymoron).  Supervillain oil and gas company Shell are in hot water for making typhoons… Ban the Bacon gathers pace and our listeners get down to it - with Zac P and grass questions.

Dale joins Chris Packham and Feargal Sharkey in a protest. Reform perform for us all. An Israeli football club pulls a Prince Andrew… Octopus shows us it can count (beyond 8) and Ed gives the game away… fabulous woolly question from a fan and an X-rated ban.

The Wealth Tax cometh, the Paris target is behind us - we go all ‘Cow in the Room’ with the Red Tractor in the dock, escaped salmon in the Loch and new life in concrete blocks. Dale pumps the Trump and our listeners tell us how the Dutch do it. Over on X-rated corner the diss attempts fall flat as Dale put’s 'em straight - ain’t no bad thing being called a girl.

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...

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 a

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...

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 ‘R...

This week we look at Trump’s good deeds, from Oz to Canada to China and we invite Richard Tice to come out of the closet.  We open with a libel update, a heat pump story and something called Nexit. And then there’s AI and Crypto - both energy guzzlers, but what does Crypto actually do.  Great listener questions and they’re at it again on X rated corner - gotta love em.

In this week's show, an irrational ex Labour PM joins Farage - in nonsense on net zero. The Telegraph smeared Dale again, then apologised and then donated to Gaza - all in less than a week. In the saga the score stands at 8-0.  Dale finds an unlikely ally in Richard Tice, but only half so and Zero carbon homes are back on the agenda, starting with a new/old rule for new builds. Questions pour in from listeners, not least on ‘breaking the link’ and of course we have some X-rated rantings…..

The need for more Nuclear cops, the MAGA diet that will surely work, more pointless tariffs and a madly big cheque - on one side as we take a dive into something you might call Nexit.  With the usual gaggle of listeners chipping in, not least about the last ice age.

Times Radio out does the Telegraph for a Daily Dale this week as we mix British Steel - energy and a nutty new right wing narrative - about Ed Milliband - with the new line from Nige and Semi, while our contributors in X rated corner make clear just how dangerous that is.  We’ve got a bit of a food focus too as our right wing nut award goes to a Big Farm funded propaganda campaign against science, pesticides are found in our houses (100s of them) and banned substances are in Scottish farmed salmon -  which is an a...

Trump’s tariff assault on the World has unexpected consequences, of course, but this one takes the biscuit.  As factory farming comes under attack, for a reverse pandemic and the rise of superbugs - the public strikes back, we get an update on grass as food.  Ian has a fan but it’s not what it seems.  And a new direct action group start making Citizen’s arrests.  Great questions around electric planes and solar panels along with more laughs in the X-rated corner. Oh and the climate crisis will destroy capitalism - not according to an eco warrior…

Trump versus the weathermen - hedge funds to the rescue?  Tesla and the China Syndrome. California (not so) dreaming, sea water sucking,  woods and trees and net zero ducking.  The return of Cummings! and er what’s Bianca got to do with it….RickAAAY? 

Musk faces market Karma while Trump pumps Tesla, and a tiny tax that could change everything. Dale has a dress code issue with government security and Ian puts on his Reform hat to explain it all. This week's right wing nut Kemi B tells big porkies about net zero in the week a new report paints the clearest picture yet. Over the pond Greenpeace face wipeout in a crazy court decision, while back home Britain’s carbon emissions hit an incredible new record. For clarity in a crazy world don’t miss this.

This week Dale’s looking for a job, animal poo from farms gets a new classification, lab grown food meanwhile is round the corner, the Aussies print a new house, Reform talk farm manure about energy, pylons that can cut your energy bills and a global kickback against the Musk.  Chock full of sense and nonsense - with a sprinkling of X rated corner.  Don’t miss it…:)

We got that, Dale in Tatler, Bezos in third, religious attitudes to this eco stuff, the wealth tax comes back, Drax giving us all the Vs and windmills going dark - who could want more?  We got X rated corner if you do....:)

The “HamasGate” saga endgame approaches as the Daily Mail and Guido Fawkes fold.

We look at a new report from those eco fanatics at the CBI while the fossil fools at BP doubles down. And in its latest report The Climate Change Committee talks cars and kebabs. Dale explains why we need to ‘break the link’ in order to get our bills down - but is anyone listening…..  And on X-rated corner - a bit of S&M.  

This week we brush past the latest improbabilities that are Trump actuals and dive into food and nature. Wolves can help us cut carbon and the eye crushing of shrimps. The Telegraph appear to be Dale’s new media platform as they carry his social media posts as stories - this week Jim Radcliffe and Man Utd in the crosshairs. And then there’s the incredible study of diets using 22 pairs of identical twins…Dale’s gold jacket and No. 10 sleepovers…

Good news for tree huggers. Bad news for the perps of Hamasgate. Green skyscrapers, invisible killers and Trump’s exploding straws. Great audience questions give us Dale's new motor, diamond lessons and Ian gets a roasting - while X-rated corner makes some sense! What is happening...?

This week Dale faces fact-free allegations from the party of corruption. And we go where economists fear to tread - running the numbers on new runways and oil, and we look at the mini nukes that defy the laws of economic gravity. Some bunch of eco loons reckon we can add £57bn to our GDP with green stuff... and avoid three more Brexits with nature stuff… Most surprising of all is the sense we find in X-rated corner.... Don’t miss it.

One article every day for five days looks like an obsession. A mad media week ending with dawn till dusk coverage on Gaza, donations, Heathrow, big green energy projects and a middle eastern connection - a proper eclectic mix with one element in common. And the oxymoron that is Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Has Labour blown its green credentials? And X-rated corner does its thing.

This week - Trump’s withdrawal method, Musk’s Dr Strangelove arm, the heat pump light begins to dawn on Ed and the end of wind in the US as China’s races to zero. Plus deadly jellyfish, natures answer? a zero-carbon airline and Ecotricity’ s plant based canteen. Wrapping up with X-Rated Corner, have FGR signed Ivanka Trump……Don’t miss it.

We’ve got it all, US flat earthers land in Blighty, Reform want new coal mines - while climate scientists talk of weather whiplash. One side is hideously wrong. Meanwhile, is Veganuary flopping? Who says we need more roads to get to net zero and X-Rated corner gives us a fact - you couldn’t make that up..:)
