Voting our way out of this nightmare is no longer an option... #Enochwasright


@afneil Benefits are tax revenue and jobs only. This will do nothing to improve energy security or bring bills down, when we remain dependent on the global market. Only investment in renewables will alleviate that dependency long term.




@DingbatBell @afneil Brexit The EU negotiate as a block we are on our own



@afneil So lets nationalise it so we actually benefit from it and not the fossil fuel companies.

@afneil Nationalisation was never the problem Andrew. The problem was failure of successive governments to invest in nationalised industries followed by the Thatcher ideology of capitalism. Oh and road haulage nationalisation lasted one term of government. 4 years from 47 to 51.




It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.


@afneil Did you not say Oil & Gas prices would be lower this year? I seem to remember an article you wrote just after Christmas- with the caveat only Starmer could "F*ck it up" 🤔

@afneil The US has no reason to militarily intervene in eastern Ukraine. France has every reason to keep the Straights open. Big difference.
