Are you a triangle or a square? It depends on your point of view.

@BenGrahamUK @MandRyde The UK already used up its oil, there is almost none left, and little of commercial value. You need to look to clean energy for any sovereign energy future for the UK.

@MandRyde Every other country that has oil uses the resources gifted to them, except Britain.

Labour are systematically shutting down Britain’s economic engine. North Sea oil. Manufacturing. Industry. Farming. Small businesses. Meanwhile bankruptcies rise, investment leaves and working people pay the price. Norway became wealthy by using its natural resources intelligently. Britain is choosing managed decline instead. Reform would reopen the North Sea, back British industry and get the country producing again. Britain does not need austerity. Britain needs ambition.

@ClarksonsFarm1 There is little left of commercial value, we already benefited from the Oil in the North Sea. Focus on investing in renewables and other clean energy as it will mean what little the UK has will last longer.

Of course.

@midget_mg @ZARA !

Very annoyed at racial profiling, stopped and searched at @ZARA today during my lunch break in Brisbane city centre. I literally had a tiny handbag and a slimline laptop bag, neither of which has any space to fit anything. Not a shoplifter, hugely embarrassing experience.

Electricity generation by fuel, GB (EWS), to 8th May 2026 Lower Wind this week pushed Gas use up over 30%. Highest Imports YTD on the 2nd. @WolframResearch notebook here: buff.ly/jNIqd5b Data @neso_energy

@spmaker Lovely shot. Can you move you cameras closer together? or is it fixed inter-axial?

Electricity generation by fuel, GB (EWS), to 1st Apr 2026 Solar contributed more than Gas this week. Wind made highest total contribution. @WolframResearch notebook here: buff.ly/jNIqd5b Data @neso_energy

Half-baked comments, the UK has a mixed supply system designed to ramp Gas up and down quickly to fill gaps. More importantly, renewables are helping eke out the UK's tiny fossil fuel reserves for longer while creating more local UK jobs. You want to escape the high cost of Gas - build more storage as South Australia and California have.

Wind and solar 13% of our electricity this morning, gas 45%. Where are renewables when you need them?

@afneil More poorly researched #unjournalism from @afneil Australia did this (JRG scheme), it barely made any discernable difference in course choices.

Establish 100 world-class technology schools in 100 towns in the Uk, each one with 1,000 pupils and open purely to merit, on a par with the best in Germany/Austria. Aim to place each pupil on graduation into the very best apprenticeships, like BAe, Rolls Royce, Airbus, or STEM university courses. Double the fees for anybody who wants to do media studies at university 😂

This has increasingly little relevance to Net-zero, it is now about energy security, petro-chemicals are failing to provide supply security for the UK. The more clean energy the UK generates the longer its tiny reserves of fossil fuels will last, the higher the energy security, and the more local jobs will be created.

Let's assume Britain 🇬🇧 achieves Net Zero. If you are not aware it would reduce world temperatures by 0.001 degrees Centigrade. If the world goes Net Zero, world🌎temperatures would drop by 0.1 degrees centigrade. We are being gaslit and lied to on a Biblical scale.

NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom announced the completion of a first-of-its-kind solar-covered canal in the Central Valley. ☀️💧 This cutting-edge project is generating clean electricity, cutting evaporation before water reaches farms and homes, and helping strengthen California’s water infrastructure for a hotter, drier future.
