The appointment of Miatta Fahnbulleh as Energy Secretary places the United Kingdom's energy future in the hands of a committed architect of state-directed decarbonization. Her documented proposals call for the Bank of England to redirect private capital away from carbon-intensive assets, the introduction of localized pollution taxes, and the collectivization of critical infrastructure under emergency insulation mandates and a "free basic energy" regime that escalates charges on higher use.
These measures extend the logic of the Green New Deal into the heart of national finance and household life. They treat energy not as a sphere of ordered stewardship but as an instrument for the managerial class to ration and redistribute according to ideological targets.
Scripture records that man received dominion over the earth to cultivate and keep it under the Creator's authority, not to surrender that authority to technocratic councils that claim to speak for the planet itself. The Reformation recovered this biblical understanding of vocation and property against the centralizing claims of both papal and imperial power.
From the Elizabethan settlement onward, English sovereignty rested on the principle that the crown and parliament held responsibility for the commonwealth without external veto. The present scheme revives an older pattern of sumptuary control, now exercised through central banking and regulatory priesthood rather than royal proclamation.
Fahnbulleh's program therefore does not represent prudent conservation but the substitution of one form of dominion for another. It elevates the abstract metric of net-zero above the concrete duties of father to provide warmth and light for his household.
The faithful remnant must therefore refuse consent to these policies at every level where resistance remains lawful. They must rebuild parallel structures of energy production and finance that answer to covenant households rather than to the City of Man's latest environmental liturgy.
Only through such deliberate withdrawal and reconstruction can the English people recover the material independence that once made their nation a pillar of ordered liberty under God.
