@entitlement4all @SunTzu544b @jonburkeUK They're building 150-200 new reactors within the next 10 years. You don't do that if wind and solar is winning, you do it if wind and solar have disastrous consequences.

@SunTzu544b @StreakyAgain @jonburkeUK Nothing in that chart says they aren't investing in wind and solar, or that they are rolling out nuclear in place of renewables.
So why did you post it?

Britain’s clean, secure energy success story is being noticed across the world! 🇬🇧⚡️♻️
For the first time in decades, we’re a leader not a follower, yet all Farage, Badenoch, the Daily Telegraph, & the rest of Britain’s right wingers do is talk the country down.
Prof. Karl Lauterbach@Karl_Lauterbach
In England geht der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energie so schnell voran, dass im Sommer das Laden der Autos zeitweise fast kostenlos wäre. Welche Gründe kann es geben, dass wir, wie sonst nur Trump in den USA, die Energiewende abbremsen? focus.de/earth/briten-r…

@SunTzu544b @jonburkeUK The Chinese are massively investing in nuclear because Solar and Wind doesn't work.
English
@jonburkeUK That's right the Chinese have noticed, and done fuck all about it. As have India and the US.
English
@jonburkeUK Yeah because the Germans are still trying to delude themselves they can live without nuclear power - they can't. They need to learn from our gross and catastrophic error and get Siemens back in the game.
English
That doesn't make really any sense. If we have mass energy abundance (which we're not going to get with solar fwiw) we can do universal no income, but.. That's off in a world of people who take Star Trek too seriously and in the wrong way and miss key points.
English
@rocklist_net @StevenJonMiller That's the problem - and every time he speaks he confirms it.
Which is really sad because he's saying the right things otherwise - if he believed what he said he'd be the only choice.
English
@StevenJonMiller Rupert Lowe’s only aim is to prevent Farage from becoming PM 🤔

TOLD YA
Restore now hitting 9%. If the right don’t unite, your children and your grandchildren’s future is ruined.

@SBarrettBar Wait until people find out how big our public sector pension liabilities are.. State pensions are nothing.
English
The idea that the country exists to pay civil servants to regulate business out of existence is Socialism
It's why the country is broken and why 14 years of Tories achieved nothing
Once we have a Capitalist Society again, looking after pensioners is a thing worth doing.
Luke Robert Black 🌳@lukerobertblack
The suggestion to end or reform the Triple Lock is quite ostensibly *not* socialism. If anything, it is fiscal conservatism and a very obvious reduction in the size of the state. The Conservative party isn’t “dying” either, we are 3% behind you in the polls today!
English
@MarieTidball Since when is Farage or Tice a Tory - and buying these people brand-new houses for them to live in which local populations couldn't possibly buy isn't better than using hotels. They should be deported, this isn't difficult.
English
You won't hear a peep about this from Farage, Tice or Jenrick.
Under the Tories, up to 400 hotels were being used to house asylum seekers.
With Labour, there are now just 185, with 11 more hotels re-opening to the public, saving the taxpayer £65 million a year.
Alex Norris MP@AlexJJNorris
There were more than 400 asylum hotels under the previous government – that number has been more than halved, with 11 more closing this week. Labour is bringing the asylum system under control.

@AcademicAgent_X I'd rather save judgement on that for when we actually leave the EU - because we aint yet.
That's why we're being dragged down with them into economic collapse and pure stupidity.
English
@b280c_2 For example, the kerb weight for the base model of the Corsa-e is 1,455 kg, versus the heaviest petrol version at 1,237 kg, and that's smallest versus biggest, it's very significantly different.
English
@b280c_2 It's definitely accurate. IDK if it has to be - there's just a general problem with regulations making cars weigh more, buying anything less than an SUV is a total waste of time. He likes EVs, he isn't lying, what he's saying is provably true.
English
Disappointing comment from Clarkson, ‘The EV’s are heavier and are to blame” rhetoric. He quotes “enormous weight of electric cars” I thought that had been debunked a while ago.🙄
Jeremy Clarkson@JeremyClarkson
I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

@Landeur They're letting as bunch of ships through and billing for it. China would go apeshit, I know that much..
English
Someone is going to need to help me with this.
When the Iranians were blockading the Strait of Hormuz that was bad, but now the US are doing it, it's good.
What am I missing? Can someone from America explain the geopolitical strategy here?
Or is someone just long on oil?
English
@Hepworthclare Ignoring the plainly obvious fact that we never had austerity, absolute nonsense all round.
Rachel Reeves took a struggling but functioning economy and drove it into the ground. Now the consequences start.
English
Mel.
Britain is weaker because of 14yrs of Tory ineptitude which gave us Austerity, a Tory/LD Coalition, Brexit, a fraught DUP arrangement, a politically badly managed pandemic, five PMs - one of whom lasted 49 days & trashed the economy & an endless round of Cabinet ministers.
Mel Stride@MelJStride
Britain is weaker because of Starmer, Reeves and Miliband's choices. Tax hikes and Labour’s net zero obsession are driving up costs and hitting families in the pocket. Only the @Conservatives will 👉🏻 Scrap VAT on energy bills 👉🏻 Get Britain Drilling in the North Sea 👉🏻 Axe the Fuel Tax Hike 👉🏻 Cut energy bills by £200 👉🏻 Deliver a stronger economy and a stronger country

@Adebayo3555981 @prestonharty @elonmusk Neither of those things are really true - the secret sauce is the launch capability and the fact we've moved on 30 years since Iridium launched. The launch gives you the ability to spam sats into the space and the 30 years gives you so much off the shelf high speed comms tech.
English
@prestonharty @elonmusk Iridium laid the groundwork, starlink improved it.
English
@elonmusk There's a more than 0% chance there's a reason there's nothing like it..

Cybertruck is so awesome.
Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it.
Best product Tesla has ever made to date.
Cybertruck@cybertruck
Cybertruck is extremely comfortable on long trips especially thanks to: – Minimal body roll – Comfort Mode on FSD (gentler acceleration & braking, softer damping, smoother handling) – Air suspension + self-leveling keeping the truck flat even with load
English
@Ed_Miliband Keep going Ed, those of us that understand what's at stake and realise renewables are cheaper are fully behind you. It's the vocal minority paid by Big Oil that continues to deny the obvious.

@NeilRos55889793 @TracyBrabin @UKLabour NHS waiting lists won't go down as long as doctors can't be bothered to work.
English
@TracyBrabin @UKLabour No such thing as "free" breakfast clubs. Someone has to pay.
Northern Powerhouse Rail investment will go the same way as house building.
NHS waiting lists - hardly shifting after almost 2 years.
Online Protections means banning everything.
English
🚨Reform UK are not on your side🚨
They don’t want:
❌Investment in our NHS
❌Protections for children online
❌Free breakfast clubs
❌£45 billion for Northern Powerhouse Rail
@UKLabour is delivering here in West Yorkshire
Don’t let them hold us back. Vote Labour this May🌹
English
@TracyBrabin @UKLabour Why would anybody who isn't mentally ill want money to go to the NHS - a completely failed and discredited system.
English
@ret_ward @TiceRichard No it wouldn't. If you have a viable alternative it'll take care of itself. That's why you need to rig the energy markets.
English
I am afraid @TiceRichard is wrong. More North Sea drilling would make global net zero more difficult and would therefore make the U.K. less safe.

'It's safe, it's easy, it creates jobs and wealth. It's our patriotic duty.' Deputy Leader of Reform UK Richard Tice, makes the case for drilling in the North Sea to reduce the cost of living for Britons. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@PerkinWerbecque @BenGrahamUK Somebody has never left the UK..
English
@BenGrahamUK You're selling lies. How about you compare spending with the continent... where they have better lives and benefit spending is seen as an investment into society and not a jealousy pissing match
English
The UK has crossed a line.
Welfare spending: £333 billion
Income tax revenue: £331 billion
We’re now paying out more than we bring in from workers.
This is unsustainable.
