I don’t think the Chinese are going to go back to candlelit huts just because there’s a lot of them. My point is that they are installing more large scale renewables than others as well. If they didn’t think it was viable they certainly wouldn’t do it to impress Greta. Quote

But we're not getting the balance right are we? This all predates Iran which has just exacerbated the situation. The problem is too many debates and no action, as I pointed out we are sleep walking into a grim winter of discontent. At least we haven't had to pay VAT at Alton Towers Quote

The problem is we are skint and everything has been sold off, we've lost expertise and now everything costs so much more to build. Thatchers legacy is so much worse than anyone realised at the time and Blair didn't do anything to resolve it, just kicked the can down the road. Quote

The exploration companies were ready to go months ago, Reeves stated it was going to happen but Milliband argued against... we urgently need this reserve and all he can do is sit on the fence in Cabinet meetings taking minutes. I actually think we will run out of gas this winter and see a three day week just like the 70s Wouldn't that be the crowning glory for the likes of Spider. Going down with the ship. Quote

It’s also about energy security, jobs and tax receipts amongst other factors that I can’t be arsed going into. Simple. Use 'simple' when dealing with binary choice boy. Quote

With you on the second one too. Quote

All those Norwegian workers paying tax. Norwegian companies and supply chain jobs paying tax. It may come as a surprise to some but even Rachel Reeves wants to open up our reserves. She’s in conflict with Mad Ed Milliband of course. Just another split in government ranks. Quote

Just another split in government ranks. You seem to be the expert, so I’ll ask you. How much gas is there, how much would it cost to get it out and how much would our bills drop by. Oh and how soon? I should be leaving you an open goal here Quote

How about “our” wells numbnuts? Quote

Spider Posted Thursday at 06:25 Posted Thursday at 06:25 I’m guessing too, but using “common” knowledge gleaned from sites such as Google. Maybe you go elsewhere but then it’s a case of which source do we believe?: Quote
Spider Posted Thursday at 06:29 Posted Thursday at 06:29 People rattle on about Norway. Just for clarification, we maybe should have sorted those Vikings out sooner: Quote
BobyBrno Posted Thursday at 06:33 Posted Thursday at 06:33 I’m not guessing anything. I read and watch the news. This is just one example. Both the Tories and Reform have promised to open up the fields and search for more oil and gas. It was in/on the news.🤷♂️ Quote

Spider Posted Thursday at 06:43 Posted Thursday at 06:43 Searching isn’t the same as having. norway have proven levels. What we have is hope. Maybe we find a trillion and all is well, but in the meantime we still need energy. Quote
