@thecycles@RusGarbageHuman@RupertLowe10 It'll be cheaper than trying to emulate Paraguay.
But you already know that but your dogma won't allow rational thoughts.
Enormous fears around soaring fertiliser costs due to the Iran war...
We need to urgently boost domestic fertiliser production.
Restore Britain would immediately act to reduce reliance on volatile global supply chains for essential inputs.
Food security is national security.
Fertiliser markets are again being shaken by geopolitics 🌎
The escalation of the US-Iran conflict and disruption to the Strait of Hormuz has already driven urea prices up ~40%, with fertiliser plants in the Middle East shutting due to supply shortages. Farmers are warning this could trigger the next inflationary cycle in food production — pushing up the cost of grain, vegetables and even beer.
This is the vulnerability of fertiliser production when it is tied to fossil fuels, fragile supply chains and geopolitical chokepoints.
ATOME’s Villeta Project in Paraguay is designed differently 🇵🇾
✅ 100% renewable baseload power
✅ Long-term contracted hydroelectric supply
✅ No dependence on natural gas or fossil fuels
This means no exposure to gas price spikes, shipping disruptions or geopolitical shocks.
The result: green fertiliser with predictable production costs and a secure supply for the global food chain.
As volatility returns to energy and fertiliser markets, the industry needs solutions that deliver both decarbonisation and resilience.
Villeta does exactly that🌱⚡

@thecycles@RusGarbageHuman@RupertLowe10 So you're saying we should invade Paraguay?
It'd be cheaper and easier to produce our own gas and oil. Oh and ditch all the green subsidies to lower our own prices.
@dsajhf@RusGarbageHuman@RupertLowe10 It's a FOAK development, this can be repeated in other places so you then don't need to import. It also increases the number of places where it can be sourced which reduces the reliance on existing supplies.
@thecycles@RusGarbageHuman@RupertLowe10 That requires a lot of energy. It's simply not viable since we have the highest energy cost on the planet. Courtesy of Milibrand and successive "conservative" governments who all push the green agenda.
Total lie. Only 20-30% of tradevale fertilizer comes through there.
The vast majority of worldwide nitrogen fertilizer use IS NOT “TRADED” through the Strait of Hormuz — estimates are at around 90% (or higher) of total global consumption is NOT dependent on the Strait.
Iowa farmers use mainly potash. @CommunityNotes
Iowa farmer: We've had this huge jump in fertilizer prices because of this conflict. With 30% of fertilizer coming through the Strait or Hormuz, we've only been in conflict for 12 days here, and our fertilizer costs have jumped 77%.
Fertiliser costs are hammering our farmers.
It’s made from natural gas, so without taking advantage of our own energy and fertiliser production capabilities, this is the effect.
Our energy prices are already some of the most expensive in the world and it’s only getting worse.
Restore Britain would ensure we can produce domestically, protecting us from unnecessary costs that destroy businesses.
@CremersRay@cyclocross24 They need a woman if they want to be UCI registered.. but who? Mannon, Annemarie or someone outside Nederlands, like Zemanova?
The new Dutch cyclocross team 🇳🇱 Team Bomba Join got presented today. 🇳🇱 Mees Hendrikx and 🇳🇱 Ryan Kamp will be the two riders of the team founded by Laurens ten Dam and his podcast with support of their partners and the Join Cycling App. 👏

@antmiddleton Is this tax evader still here? Mismanaged his own company, would fuck up the country to line his own pockets. Boot lickers that listen to this goon deserve prison
@Wessex_Nick@Mofoman360 He ain't getting any money but the only money the BBC has is from the licence fee.. that is it. You are clearly thicker than mince..
@MichaelAncestry@TheBritishIntel It’s still in place for the King to exercise irrespective of the PM request. As I said I doubt he will use it, but it is there.
I’m hearing growing calls for King Charles to intervene and dissolve Parliament before Starmer drags Britain toward world war 3.
Given everything unfolding, would you support that move or not?
