    Match Thread Swansea City- Coventry City 21st March 17.15ko

    Sure it’s been said elsewhere but since Dec their home record is something like 8 wins 2 draws and 1 loss. Draw would be a good result, especially with a few injuries around. Nick a win and it’s party time

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That might be, but im basing everything I’ve said on annual usage stats and I doubt it’s suddenly going to change dramatically over one year. Maybe the winds blown more in the first two months so we’ve had less requirement for gas, who knows, but I doubt that’s maintained over the whole year and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure where that stats from but either way every source I’ve seen inc video attached indicate that last year we imported 50%+ of our gas requirement. This is forecast to increase to 70-80% over the next 10 years with a large portion of the increase expected to be imported LNG which is worse...

    We export oil we don’t need/cant use (and import types we do) and we import gas

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s not as simple as that. We export a majority of the oil produced as it’s the wrong type of oil for what we need and refine here. We import more gas (LNG) because we need it to produce electricity to keep the lights on Everyone wants more renewables but there will still be some reliance on...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I personally think in a war/global emergency situation we (and the rest of Europe) have far more potential energy security from what’s produced in and around this country than from LNG imports from the gulf states As we saw during Covid it was every country for themselves Ps and as stated...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I wasn’t saying it would make a big difference to cost although I still can’t quite get my head around why if we’re producing more gas cheaper locally rather than importing more expensive LNG from Qatar, US etc it wouldn’t make a difference (even appreciating it’s global pricing). Nor the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Successive governments have directed/led the market using a mixture of billions in subsidies, tax, energy profits levy, energy cap and green taxes etc. It’s pretty far removed to being left to the market Ps I’d quite happily had some state owned SMR nuclear power stations but not sure what...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That Ed Conway post is even more relevant after last nights Middle East attacks. Our reliance on foreign LNG, when considering our own energy security as well as its negative environmental impact, is looking ever more stupid. Means we can give ourselves a hollow pat on the back for not...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    As I say, it’s his way but by pointing the finger at Israel/Netanyahu he’s trying to contain something that’s getting out of his control

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    A lot happened overnight Then Trump trying to calm things in his own way (belatedly realising this is the shit that you have to deal with when you’re fighting alongside people as volatile as you ie Netanyahu) What a mess. Let’s hope there’s some calm across the board and this doesnt...

    To be fair, knowing how long things take in this country, that’s probably when we started Hinkley Point C

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Spot on. What I’m still hoping for is an acceleration of the SMR roll out which will reduce reliance on both types of fossil fuels. Not sure how feasible this is from building or grid perspective though

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is worth 15 mins of anyone’s time who’s interested in gas, oil and the environment Finally people are coming round to the logic of what’s the point in importing supplementary LNG to replace what’s (possibly) available in the North Sea when it’s actually dirtier/worse for environment and...
