PM Set To Warn "Things will get worse"

Indeed, Starmer seems to be unconcerned that there are currently just under 13 million old age pensioners, a demographic that increases by more than 100,000 a year. That's a lot of voters who feel increasingly alienated by this government. 

It's very simple.
In the short term, drill more oil and gas whilst building lots of new nuclear power stations.
In the long term, when hopefully fusion is developed enough to industrially exploit, build fusion power stations.
And also, electrolyse hydrogen add it to captured CO2 from the air plus water to synthesise petrol and diesel.
Get existing cars running on renewable fuels instead, and net zero can be achieved.

Forget forcing everyone into electric cars.
Forget ULEZ.

This is what needs doing.

If you watch GB news and Talk tv its a never ending catalogue, not of avoidable problems experienced by every body, but of inherent incompetence on a vast scale. I dont know whats wrong, something is.

That common sense, practicality, simple thinking is absent. Shown in spades by politicians. David Lammy is a prime example, qualifications that would clog a furnace if you burnt them, but as dumb as it gets. To the point of needing a chaperone.

Its like goverment, local government as well, is ill, the illness thats experienced when you have rigid unwavering beliefs, that when they arte invalidated......

YOU CARRY ON ANYWAY. Starmer is a prime example, the Southport riots, trans etc, the list is endless.

The current system of government is not working, or is it that the wrong people are making it into government, that the university educated, monied, titled hoi polloi, are now a canker, and that the automatic assumption that some geezer educated at Cambridge is whats needed.

Whats needed right now is not the Starmer Sunak type, its the middle and working classes. The system is wrong in the sense that when we have a cancerous, deficient government, we cant change it over night. Indeed, we have had the wrong people in charge for a very long time.

And nothing will change. If i were King, he has real power, i would summon government to parliament then sack the lot.

And hold new elections with parameters that includes the poor, small business, the sick, unemployed, unpropertied, house wives, anyone that struggles as well as those that dont. If i were king....its amazing that change tomorrow could happen, but wont, Charles is of those that would get fired.

Christ, i sound like a socialist, i am not, but this is true socialism, not that stupidity of communism. We need a voice from those that have not, money protects itself.

This country is a world leader in wind power (renewable energy), and we have made really good progress in that direction, currently over 40% of our electricity is from renewable energy, and not only is that growing, but the growth of renewable energy is set to accelerate.

All plans for extracting oil and gas should be thrown in the bin where they belong

Energy will become cheaper because we will no longer at the mercy of world market prices for oil and gas

Home grown energy from renewables means investment in this country, and jobs in this country

Extracting fossil fuels from the seabed will result in international energy / petrochemical companies selling that gas and oil to wherever, and whoever they want, and at the price they can get.

As energy from renewables grows, our reliance on dictators such as Putin disappears, we become energy self sufficient and our energy security is in a much stronger position. The energy source is clean and green, no polution, no adding to greenhouse gases, and as the renewable sector grows and develops, it comes cheaper.

Wind turbine blades wear out, they're about as recyclable as a Trabant, and the environmental impact of building a windfarm comes with a high CO2 cost, better solutions for the long term are needed, including fusion if it can be made economical.

This reminds me of a similar thread from a while back - which I suppose I could find if push came to shove. Anyhoo, I mentioned in that thread that I listened to a chap on... Talk TV or GB News who worked on an offshore wind turbine maintenance team in the North Sea. He said the blades cost in excess of £1 million each (x3 per turbine x 2,630 turbines) this eye watering figure does not include the cost of the turbines (Which contain hundreds of tonnes of concrete and rare earth metals) just the blades which are supposed to have a 25 year life span. But when used offshore the leading edge of the blade due to sand in the wind becomes pitted, the blades cant be repaired so they have to be replaced every five years and they cant be recycled so they go to landfill, and the undersea cables running from the turbines to land have to be replaced far more frequently than those on land, imagine how much that costs. He said building and erecting them in situ is very expensive, but maintenance costs are staggering and becoming more expensive all the time. Anyone who says wind energy is free doesn't know what they're talking about.

We're in the Commonwealth. Nuclear power is the best low carbon source going. Especially Thorium, because its waste cannot be used to make thermonuclear weapons afterwards.

Australia has the isotopes. We have an FTA with Australia.
