  1. UK taxes due are calculated between April 6~April 5, what a tax payer lost in previous years is irrelevant. she’ll and BP’s international (non UK) businesses do not pay tax in the UK. Good to see you sticking up for vast windfall profits over ordinary people struggling to heat their homes.
  2. And there you have it, primed for a conspiracy. I’ll wait for the trial.
  3. And if you don’t see the tapes (which may or may not exist)? Or if you are told there are no tapes?
  4. So, what you have been told the police said doesn’t match what you have been told Paul Pelosi said.
  5. Pleased to see you survived the attack Even’. I trust you were not subject to online haters blaming you and your family for making yourselves victims of your attacker. Stay safe.
  6. At least I understand the fossil fuel/watt consumed to create the electricity I consume is the aggregate fossil fuel usage of the generating methods used to produce the power I consume.
  7. Nah, you haven’t grasped some realities. Coal fired power stations are the least efficient fossil-field generators, they comprise around 37% of the world’s generating capacity. Gas powered generators comprise around 24% of global generating capacity and are very much more efficient than at coal powered generators. Hydro provides 16% of global generating capacity at zero use of fossil fuels. Nuclear comprises 10% of global generating capacity at zero fossil fuels. Wind and solar together comprise 8% of global generating capacity and both at zero fossil fuels. There is 5% of global power generating capacity from other sources not stated When a consumer plugs their EV in to charge it, the are receiving electricity that was generated at the combined efficiency of all generators to the grid. Coal is the least efficient user of fossil fuels, other generators are either very much more efficient or don’t use fossil fuels. Hence your cherry picked coal fired power stations are nowhere near representative of the efficiency and fossil fuel usage that needs to be compared with that of Internal Combustion Engines. You’re arguments are flawed.
  8. You are cherry picking. 2019 world electricity generation by source (total generation was 27 petawatt-hours)[1][2] Coal (37%) Natural gas (24%) Hydro (16%) Nuclear (10%) Wind (5%) Solar (3%) Other (5%) 63% of the world’s electricity is not produced by coal fired power stations. Which is why I ignored your Mae Dit example, it is not representative of the majority of electricity generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station
  9. Paul Pelosi isn’t accused of any crime here, he’s the victim of a violent assault in his own home. Or did you miss that bit?
  10. Do you have evidence it was recently fired guys, or is that an unsubstantiated slur?
  11. You’ve been watching too much CSI Miami. Leave it to the FBI (oh no you can’t do that because your Hunter Biden conspiracy thing gets in the way). The truth of what happened during the attack on Paul Pelosi will come out in the trial of his assailant. If you have any useful information for his defense get in touch with his attorneys, I quite certain they’ll be delighted to hear from you. ( Don’t forget to send them links).
  12. Back to your conspiracies again. Have you spotted the doors open outwards and if so do you think it possible glass would fall to the floor outside the building as the doors are opened?
  13. The Tweet he clearly had second thoughts about and deleted.
  14. I suggest you go back and read TBL’s post I was responding to. And yes, power stations are more efficient than internal combustion engines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station
  15. The decision to use Russian gas was not part of any ‘Green Agenda’, it’s a decision made in the late 70s early 80s when Russian gas fields opened offering extremely cheap energy. But energy security is an issue, and a very significant benefit of renewables.
  16. Can’t say I’m surprised. Perhaps the ‘My Pillow Guy’ will chip in with an advertising spend:
  17. You don’t see anything troubling in a person with 112 million followers cutting and pasting conspiracy theories to his followers?
  18. You let your ‘woke luvvies’ thing get the better of you again. You might have seen a few EVs and Hybrids running around ‘non Western’ Thailand.
  19. You forgot to mention the IEA report identifies the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on gas supplies is driving a ‘replacement with coal’ and the fact the growth also includes post COVID recovery.
  20. You are citing reports from the Saudi Oil Industry. Do you think they might be a tad biased?
  21. Surely there is data? Yes there is: https://www.iea.org/reports/electric-vehicles
  22. It seems you are unaware of the principles of ‘efficiency in energy conversion’ while at the same time oblivious you to fact that an increasing percentage of electricity generation is coming from renewable sources. Power stations are very much more efficient at converting fossil fuels into energy than are Internal Combustion engines. EVs then use that electrical energy at a very high efficiency, typically north of 85%. The result is EVs use considerably less energy for a given journey. Now factor in the fact much of that electrical energy comes from renewables and you have your answer.
