A VITAL goal for Ipswich! Darnell Furlong scores his first of the season! 🔵


Energie ist ökonomisch nicht speicherbar –Strom muss erzeugt werden, wenn er gebraucht wird. AKWs abgeschaltet, Kohle reduziert, d.h. gesicherte Leistung weg. Ohne Speicher bleiben Fossile. Diese Abhängigkeit haben die Grünen selbst erzeugt & schieben sie nun anderen zu. Absurd



Norway collected £50bn from North Sea oil and gas last year. We collected £4.4bn, having taxed our own producers into closure in pursuit of a #netzero fantasy. I cannot think of a cleaner example of a government failing its people @Keir_Starmer and @Ed_Miliband conservativewoman.co.uk/the-suicidal-m…

UK economy most exposed due to Tory & Labour failures on energy Net Zero has left us Net Exposed to higher bills & shortages Only @reformparty_uk will scrap Net Zero to reduce bills and increase capacity digitaleditions.telegraph.co.uk/data/2403/read…


My, this debate can be facile… Yes @ZackPolanski, it wouldn't lower bills, achieve energy independence, or insulate us from price shocks. Mad anyone would think drilling two fields would! It would: —> Create jobs - I care about good jobs —> Provide tax revenue when, whatever MMT says, we need it - I care about schools, hospitals, poverty reduction, investment —> Reduce our /global/ carbon emissions - I care about Britain’s global impact on climate change, which is about how we meet domestic demand Yes, double down on renewables, insulate homes, lower bills. AND green light those two fields. The politics of and, not or 🤯🤯

Let's be even more honest. There is nothing in 'climate science' that says we have to reach Net Zero. Or even attempt to get there. NetZero is a POLITICAL choice. Not a scientific one. Don't let propagandists hIde behind 'The Science' to gas light you @ret_ward


@aeberman12 @EYakoby Every uptick in safe passage eases global markets , lessens Irans leverage. Writings on tbd wall … water.



BREAKING: Energy bills are expected to rise by more than £300 this summer as the Middle East conflict pushes up wholesale natural gas prices. 🔗 Read more trib.al/tTY9r5B
