The UK government are now paying for their indifference to renewable fuels as prices have rocketed over the past few weeks. Average prices have gone up over £600 a year. oil,coal and gas have shown us reliant on unstable power sources and enough is enough.

Conservative dogma has FAILED.

ROFL! Wind, solar and unicorn farts are not reliable.

Turbines. Lots and lots of turbines. Water, wind and a huge solar mirror in space.

Brexit is a fucking disaster, but that's what you get when a wave of Trumpian nationalism overrides common sense.

Brexit is a smashing success. Try reading something aside from fake news.

You have all the clean energy you need and more?
Yet your power bills are higher than England's?
Maybe the problem is all your higher cost clean energy?

Our power bills are not higher than England's.

Under President Trump the price of oil was $30/bbl. Under the stuttering shit clown it's now it's $92/bbl. Because he completely throttled the US oil industry, a major source of the global production.

Even a fat dummy like you can probably connect the dots.... hmm?

Anyway, you freezing to death keeps my air clean.... so of course I'm good with it.

No one invests in production when the ppb is low. The oil business is a for profit enterprise. .... Unless you want to nationalize domestic oil production. Is that what you want?

True. A decade ago the Saudi oil minister said they needed $55 pb price to maintain profitability and production. It has only gone up from there.

I'm laughing at the fat guy from Wales who pays more than they do in England.

How so?

Not really. The problem isn't how you use it, the problem is that we just have TOO MANY PEOPLE trying to use it! Human population is now way out of balance with the Earth.

Cut world population back about 50% and suddenly, we no longer have a climate crisis, an energy crisis, a food crisis, an infrastructure crisis, a housing crisis, a clean water crisis . . . .

Sadly, mass production and mass marketing require masses of workers and masses of consumers.

But then, there's this.

Half the world’s population reaching below replacement fertility

Close to a half of the world’s population is currently living in countries with fertility below the replacement level of about two children per woman. In the long run, this entails shrinking and ageing populations. Tomas Frejka explains that countries will either have to learn to cope with these...

However, we still need masses of poor, uneducated people to do the necessary sh-t work that educated middle class folks won't do.

So based on the fact that the developed world's population is decreasing and the developing world's population is increasing, we're pretty much screwed.

We can build machines to do most of that.

THEY are screwed as it takes educated, skilled, developed people to make living possible for the undeveloped populations.

Without that, the developing pops will just end up more Ethiopias.

Basically, the jobs we create for them are low-skill, subsistence jobs. Crumbs from our table.
