Energy Crisis

Dont worry kid . Ill send a few barrels of oil and a bag of smokey coal up your way Christmas week.

In tandem with the rest of the planet @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy is on fire todayā€¦
On an aside note why is this COP27 malarkey being held in Egypt? This could handily have been held via Zoom or one of those platforms but they (our protectors) chose to fly thousands of miles to indulge themselves.
The answer is - keeping snouts in the trough.

yes, when we have too much we export, when we have too little, we import

not sure how anybody can see the negativity in this

That will ramp up massively. We have enough wind to supply the whole of the EU.

Decoupling the price of gas from electricity prices surely would be next on the agenda
