One industry source told the Reform MP that Net Zero is to blame because Heathrow is moving from diesel back-up generators to biomass and the system failed when the substation went up in flames.
Richard Tice claims Heathrow's shutdown after a substation fire was caused by the airport replacing its diesel backup with a Net Zero alternative, which he alleges failed. Heathrow denies this, stating their backup systems worked as expected, but activating contingencies takes time. The shutdown left 220,000 passengers stranded.
