Also as someone posted earlier it's basically been said to be impossible in the UK because the geology is different.

The USA is a net energy exporter since 2019. The USA doesn't have any issues when it comes to energy for the foreseeable future.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I think the point is that the US does actually have issues with energy, it's just the logistics instead of the supply. No amount of natural gas will bring a broken pylon online. Yeah. To be fair, I was probably wrong to say "no issues", there is still infra that needs to be built up. More accurate would probably be "no issues with acquiring energy", that is they actually have the raw materials there and could re-tool the economy to take advantage of it if they absolutely had to in exchange for some short-term pain, but it's not a situation like in Germany where the natural gas from Russia gets shut off and suddenly they can't get reasonably priced energy anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Yeah Texas' issues aren't with supply but with running a stupid for-profit energy grid separate from all the other grids with basically no regulation, afaik. I wasn't clear.

The UK could be energy independent with a mixed bag of wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, and nuclear, but instead they're going for the one that won't work. e: Biogas too e2: ^^ More like relationship with junior staffie

Also... the UK has the north sea? Sure, its not a huge excess of poo poo like Norway still has but we have better fossil fuel supplies than the rest of continental europe. Or at least would if we had any goal for them except profit oil giants.

Halisnacks posted:Did they commit to proportional representation specifically, or electoral reform in general? Further investigation says it was a show of hands vote, which can be easily ignored and overridden by the leadership. Not sure if it was for electoral reform or specifically PR, but it sounds like it was a worthless vote.

learnincurve posted:Start of the pandemic, I spoke about what it’s like being on long term benefits and what you had to do to economise, Kind people said to apply to the solidarity fund. I said I wouldn’t because my troubles are constant and consistent. I have never had money so no one has ever given me credit and therefore I have no debts, I can budget and plan, where as it’s the unexpected that will cripple you. So what you're saying is you've been vaccinated against poverty and all the computer touchers are basically lined up to hit the ICU
