The joy of Japan at the moment is that it got rich before it got old.. and that its population started to decline at exactly the right time - just as AI and robotics converge, The only country that seems to have got it exactly right.

@MerrynSW Surely you can recognise that new drilling in the North Sea will have no impact on global prices?

🚨Clearly there's loads of news today so there's a chance this gets ignored but... it is a BIG deal. Britain, the country that invented free trade as we know it, is raising steel tariffs to 50%. Biggest tariffs since Brexit. A massively symbolic moment. news.sky.com/story/watershe…

Rubbish. Every day my feed is full of your nonsense Renewables are MORE EXPENSIVE than gas for electricity generation And electricity is only 20% of UK energy consumption The best ways to cut energy costs are 1. Abolish the carbon taxes 2. Cancel AR7 onwards 3. Cancel the RO 4. Restructure AR1-6 to lower costs 5. Rebuild N Sea production 6. Build more refineries 7. Build large nuclear as fast as possible using Korean tech and Korean regulation as a guide 8. Cut fuel duty 9. Cancel any grid upgrades and close any windfarms with negative NPV for consumers 10. Sign LT Fixed Price gas contracts with Norway, the US and Qatar (diversify supply)

Scotland could be the big winner here. Introduce a low flat rate tax.. say 15%.. and we would be rich in no time.

Not long ago, Britain was one of the world’s biggest oil producers, with revenues accounting for six percent of all government revenues in the mid-1980s. @EdConwaySky looks at how much oil and gas Britain could extract from the North Sea if it really wanted to. 🔗

@WilloughbyWood2 Wages for young rising. Young have more disposable income than old and will inherit a few houses each. Enough jobs. Manufacturing base. advanced robotics. Net gov debt not a problem. It's pretty good.

@MerrynSW Its wages have dropped by 1/3 vs peers, GDP by 20% and prospects poor for young people. So not ‘exactly right’ as you say. It is best placed, yes, with foreign reserves and investment that can delay the inevitable, but going well? No.
