jeremy corbyn, which is handy because tonight's robert jenrick is called our attorney general jeremy corbyn in a wig. and we'll come on to that story and look at the reasons why a little bit later on in the programme. but for now. hello, gents. you're very, very welcome. thank you. our as are each and every single one of you. you know the drill. get in touch with me all the usual ways. email me gb views @gbnews. com you can go to twitter. you can x me there. or of course you can go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay and talk to me and each other. and speaking of talking to me, i've had a great many of you sending me quite a distressing video, shall we say, which took place in a hotel today. i want you to know that i absolutely acknowledge that video, and i've beenin acknowledge that video, and i've been in contact with the police today to try and get to the bottom of what on earth has been going on. so as soon as i've managed to confirm something. worry not. we shall be discussing that story. but look also imminently about to take place. donald trump. he is about
1:06 am
to take to the stage essentially, and issue a press conference. what is going to be in it? i don't know, i mean, people will speculate, but you know what? he's like, anything could happen. so if you're sitting there thinking, what on earth is he about to announce? worry not. we shall cover it as soon as it begins. but for now, i want to talk to you about carbon capture. we know, of course, the figure of 22 billion, also known as the black hole, which creates a yawn and an eye roll for many people. but that sum of money is also one that sum of money is also one that we are going to be spending on carbon capture technology. well, now a report has come out which is warning essentially that this technology, daniel, it's essentially a huge gamble, unproven technology. it has the potential to, quote, significantly impact our bills. is this the direction of travel that we should be going in? >> well, just to explain very quickly what why? you know, this net zero thing requires carbon capture. it is net zero. it
1:07 am
isn't a target for eliminating the use of carbon fuels. but if you do use them, you have to be able to offset them to get the effect down to zero. and one of the ways of doing this, they think, is to pull the carbon out of the air because there's carbon in the air. yeah, pull the carbon out of the air. capture it. i mean, you have to put vast amounts of air through machines because the amount of carbon in the air is absolutely tiny. we know the air is oxygen and nitrogen mainly. and then you somehow you sequester it by pumping it into the ground somehow. >> so you have to. >> so you have to. >> do and this. >> do and this. >> is chemicals, though. this is some chemicals along the way that are derived. >> oh yes. yes. you , you don't, >> oh yes. yes. you, you don't, you don't get it out of the air just by blowing it across something. you need chemical, chemical process to pull it out of the air as it passes through these huge machines. and nobody knows if this works. it's sort of science fiction. it works in principle. nobody knows if it works in practice. and we are committing a billions of
1:08 am
smackeroonies to do this just to achieve this net zero target, which is destroying our economy, basically, and driving us all mad. and that's what the report today says. but it won't stop it. i mean, ed's got 22 billion to play with on this or something like this, £22 billion which will be spent on this. and it's just billions here and billions there. and then they say they haven't got any money. >> do you think because this is a relatively new technology, do you think it's the place of government funding to be, you know, getting involved with this, or should we be leaving this, or should we be leaving this kind of speculative investment slash risk to the private sector? >> well, ideally we should be leaving it 1504 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08
