I don't quite understand Johnson's energy plan that he's now proposing.

He seems to be planning to drill out every last drop out of the North Sea in record time, then a heavy shift to renewables.

Two things:

1. how does taking out and using every last drop of oil from the north sea fit with climate goals.

2. and most importantly, my understanding is that licences are granted for oil exploration/drilling to private companies and then they are free to sell that oil to the highest bidder. How does that help us? Are they going to make the oil companies sell it to the UK? Will the oil companies go along with that? Why would they, particularly given the well-documented cost of exploiting the remaining fields (it was certainly well-documented in the independence referendum).

The plan seems to have fairly significant flaws.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's rank stupidity.

The issue is though, we need oil from somewhere rapidly..

I'd prefer we kept our reserves in the ground, but we are running out of options. My only criticism is that we should be ramping up renewables NOW to ensure we extract the minimum necessary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I broadly agree with Insert

I sense a great disturbance in the force….

Heard from Russian dude, he is in a city of 500000 said he has seen one car(a moron he said)with a Z on it...

He then posted a picture of the car with its rear window smashed in. I think the propaganda isn't what it was.

More importantly - monster munch. What shape are they?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Claw.

Decent snack but couldn't lace the boots of Frazzles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Frazzles repeat too much.

But back to monster munch I give you the following theory:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye fk you Sat Nav! I read that link, clicked on the conclusive tweet from the Walkers woman, cannot retrieve this tweet...WTF I need to know...Tell me!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you turn a monster munch upside down it actually looks like a monster rather than a monster claw
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I saw that, but at the bottom of your link they said they got definitive confirmation from someone at Walkers, I just want to know which it is, claw or monster.

FM #Lavrov: The goal of Russia’s special military operation is to stop any war that could take place on Ukrainian territory or that could start from there. https://t.co/tLf7798DIh

I watched XXX State of the Union last night.
Then this morning shortly after waking up I noticed some guy on here saying Putin should be assassinated.
Who do we think could pull off such a mission?
Ice Cube
Matt Damon
Vin Diesel
The James Bond lady
Tom Cruise

Surely one of these guys could do it.

I really REALLY don't like him. I don't know if it's Chechen separatist driven. But I also have a sense of humanity not wanting him wrapped up in Russian war machine.

I sense a great disturbance in the force….
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Insert is pretty sound on energy stuff - aside from franking I have no real disagreements with him over energy policy. Vast ramp up in renewables is essential to our future. Its amazing how free market economists fail to recognise the opportunity in a green revolution to be honest.

On that subject Mocean energy in Scotland release snippets of information this week about a new generation of its wave energy generators

And

Power roll have now opened their pilot production facility in the north east, which should start producing product soon.

Great news.

Another one to watch out for North of the border is vanadium battery projects. I am very optimistic and several secured BEIS funding for trials in Scotland .

One note of alarm - wheat prices.

Gets missed in the oil, gas and gold chat.

But we are at record wheat prices in the UK

This will hit beer, pizza, bread, pasta and hospitality generally plus could even see premiums in supermarkets.

Actual supplies are secure for us but markets are global and Ukraine invasion has hit indexes in France, UK and US

Also learned Commerzbank havea wheat expert

Something very German about that lol
