@C_S_Skeptic Starlink is profitable, satalites in space arent exactly early cash positive. Share buyouts to staff dont exactly scream cash poor either. But if you have good data happy to take a peak!

The only plausible reasons for this rush to IPO are: 1) The company is broke, and/or 2) Long term investors need to cash out immediately.

@DionysianAgent You are right, most GPs could be replaced in 6 months. Anyone reading x rays or scans could have been replaced a decade ago.

i highly doubt doctors and surgeons will be automated within 3 years just another example of elon talking straight out his ass i do think a lot of doctors underestimate how fake their jobs are however when i worked in pharma it was incredibly obvious to me that most doctor work is fake work that could easily be automated and doctors are more just these authority figure type persons in healthcare used to tell patients what to do what i mean by that is hardly any doctor truly thinks for themselves, most are just trained by pharma and all their expertise and functionality is based on the designs made from within pharma, like essentially healthcare is just a massive cash machine and all treatment pathways and medical equipment and so on are part of an intricate supply chain and profit scheme, thus what doctors use, how they use it, the studies they reference, their available treatment pathways, even how they talk to patients - all these things are designed and preconfigured for them but anyway we might see teleoperated surgery in ~5 years, meaning all the bad surgeons will probably lose their jobs and then the best surgeons can operate remotely from anywhere in the world controlling robots maybe all standard doctor work and patient interactions can be automated by ai pretty fast too, the hardest part would probably be getting patients to trust it more than it would be automating the doctors and then the first fully automated robot surgeons that can surpass humans in skill would probably first be in like ~15 years realistically, and that's assuming everything goes well and they can go through clinical trials without errors and what not

@Alexarmstrong Yes the ashanti empire had clean hands. Pretty much every surrounding country should be asking the same or more reprations from Ghana. aactually we shouls be aaking for rwparations from them...

The UK has abstained on a UN vote, by Ghana, calling on former colonial powers to pay reparations for the slave trade. There are roughly 7 million slaves in Africa today, perhaps they should focus on that if they are so morally outraged by it? The UK was also the first country in the entire history of humanity to end slavery, costing British lives and a debt we have only just recently paid off. We’ve done our part, in fact, we’ve done more than any other nation ever.

@mattwridley So you are against the UK terminals that deal with LNG. Do you want to sack people in tge uk. Explain why?

Which is exactly why home produced gas would be much cheaper. Liquefying the stuff and transporting it is very expensive. Good grief, do people not know this?

Sounds like claire Doesnt understand North Sea development. First off all capital expenditure is written off as cost against profits. Usually a decwnt size field that is £2 Billion. Feom geographical survey, test drilling, platform drills and pipelines take about 4 years. First profit after capex cost around the 10 year mark!

Labour wants us cold and poor

@LoftusSteve Sure go buy some qatari gas and show me how it burns😂

The whole thing is undermined by you thinking there's a global price for gas.

@MingleDandy @afneil Sure you can. Permian gas is a waste product. It is cheaper to burn it that move it 100 miles to put it in storage. Can you dig up has in the North Sea for zero £'s. Otherwise more expensive!

@TimBrowning @afneil The price of gas on the UK’s NBP is set by demand vs supply. The supply is a mix of domestic production, Norwegian gas imports and LNG imports. The LNG is the most expensive and can be reduced by increasing domestic production

We’re relying more on LNG to set the price because we’re allowing domestic supplies to decline and depend more on imported LNG supplies. A matter of policy. A bizarre policy driven by net zero zealots. Even in a mature field like the North Sea there is still a lot more gas to get out. Ask the Norwegians. Increase that supply and UK NBP hub prices will come down. Tax revenues will rise. Balance of payments will improve. Sterling will strengthen. And more jobs will be saved/added. Simples.

@johnredwood Grow more food? When you say this shot out loud does it make sense? When we had half the population, the UK were starving during the war, rationing ended 15 YEARS later. If we butchered a third of the population we couldnt feed them

The Chancellor’s response to the energy crisis was pathetic. No moves to increase our output of oil and gas to boost domestic tax revenues and supplies. No moves to control her borrowing to bring interest rates down. No moves to help farmers grow more of our own food.

@jemmm85517813 Thats a shame it will probably provide 40% of electricity this year

Windpower is too fickle…We cannot rely on perfect weather to power the nation.

@7Kiwi No its not. We built refineries in the 1960s. They arent competative because no one uses trim phones from British Telecom.

Gas is sold here. Oil sent to the Continent for refining because regulations and taxes caused the closure of our refineries. Bought back as fuel. If we don't export the oil, we still need the fuel. Oil exports are good for jobs, tax revenue and the trade deficit.

@mattwridley Of course there is, you are just too stupid to work out its weight, time travel and freight costs....

“We pay the global price for gas”. There is no such thing! Where do they find such ignorance? It’s a mystery.

@SlainteMhath5 @7Kiwi I just did

@TimBrowning @7Kiwi Now factor in transportation costs and the environmental impact of transporting LNG halfway round the world onboard tankers which in many cases will still be burning heavy fuel oil.

Producing more domestic gas will reduce prices because it will displace expensive (and dirty) LNG imports.

@afneil Because there is, just because they are in different prices in different places, the arbitage on movement should be obvious. You dont walk into an airport and expect a first class seat for free. It just lazy journalism

There is no ‘global price for gas’. How can you be an energy expert and not know that?

@mr_james_c One is cheaper than the other, not sure what point you are trying to make?

Amazing how few people seem to comprehend this fact when discussing batteries and renewables.

@notayesmansecon Spain. lacked out due to grid build. Low interconnectors. 3 % capacity, UK has 20 to 25%. Solar intensity you would lose a third of output. But Spaina wholesale prices are 2 thirds cheaper than the UKs

Spain has obvious advantages in terms of Solar Power compared to the UK. Plus have we already forgotten when they grid collapsed?

@Matt_Pinner $100 I will do it now. Do people still use facebook?

You’re offered $4 million to uninstall Facebook from your phone forever. Would you do it?

@ejames500 Of we drilled everything now, even the the stuff we onow is there and havent found yet. 25 years tops

There is enough oil and gas in our part of the North Sea and the UK mainland to last at least 300 yrs at current rates of use. ANY GOVERNMENT NOT DRILLING AND USING THE ASSETT OBVIOUSLY INDICATES THAT THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN GROWING THE ECONOMY AND MAKING BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN. The cost of oil is set by a global cartel however, the cost of delivering the oil is added to the fixed cost. Obviously drilled oil and gas in the UK will cost less than having it delivered thousands of miles. Natural oil and gas in the UK BELONGS TO THE CROWN. It should not be difficult to pass legislation to ignore the global fixed price for use in the UK. The global price would continue for exported oil and gas. Nett zero is a flawed and scientifically unsound policy. IF the UK hadnett zero, it would make no difference to the global environment.Drilling our own oil and gas and manufacturing our vehicles,ships, trains, windmills, generators, solar panels will protect the environment and create real wealth in this country. Growing as much of our own food here as possible,will also be better for the environment and wealth creation here. This is according to #RupertLowe

@ObamaWellington @7Kiwi No the invertor shuts down or it would blow out the fuse box. There is no connection to grid

@TimBrowning @7Kiwi I think you might be misunderstanding the anti-islanding protection. That only shuts off power in the event of a power cut or the inverter being unplugged.

They're more likely to damage grid resilience by flooding the distribution network on summer days when demand is low.
