Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Generally what I see from debunkers like yourself is someone living 10 years in the past. The cost of solar and wind energy has plummeted. Even before the recent spike in prices of fossil fuels, back in the day when coal and gas prices were depressed, solar and wind had made coal uneconomical and was doing the same to gas peaker plants. In fact, the Levelized Cost of Energy is cheaper for a new solar plant than it is to run an existing coal powered plant. And now cheap storage methods are coming online which means further reductions in the cost of solar and wind. Offshore wind power is actually lessening the rise in utility bills in the UK. -

First of all it's a plan formulated by the government. Did it succeed? And 5000 foreign drivers is not much. And did you read this from that report: "On top of the visa scheme, the government has also announced more funding for training and sent a desperate-looking letter pleading for ex-HGV drivers to return to their former profession." -
Lots of people believe that currencies are analogous to stock shares. So if the value of the currency, like the pound, declines vis a vis a major currency like the dollar, that means that UK citizens are worse off. But that's not the case. It depends on how many of those pounds a citizen earns and/or holds and what can be purchased with them.

Over and over again I see debunkers of wind and solar confuse fuels with infrastructure. Unlike fossil fuels, the fuels for wind and solar power are free forever and it's not magic. The infrastructure is another issue. -

Not entirely. The price of offshore wind energy is capped. That was part of the deal with the government when leases were granted. If the price exceeds the caps, that portion is refunded. -

A day of chaos brings Twitter closer to the brink

What does it mean that "twitter seems to be going along the same as it ever was"... ? Have you taken a look at its financial situation. Twitter gets 90% of its revenue from advertisers. They are fleeing. -

But foreign exchange only matters when you are trading it against other currencies. For most Americans, say, a 10% drop in the value of the dollar in respect to a basket of world currencies, doesn't mean a 10% drop in its purchasing power. But if that same American is holding bitcoin and it drops 10% in value, then it has also lost 10% of its purchasing power. -

At this rate there won't be a Twitter to come back to. And it's not like they can't go elsewhere, is it? -

US midterm elections: What's happened to economy under Biden?
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Clearly a plot by Dems.... GOP push for hand-counting paper ballots is latest effort to cast doubt on elections After more than a year of baselessly questioning the results of the 2020 election, some Republicans are casting doubt on how ballots are counted, part of a broader movement inspired by former President Donald Trump’s lies about election fraud that is undermining confidence in America’s vote. In at least three states – Utah, New Hampshire and Texas – Republicans have pushed for banning traditional ballot scanning machines in favor of hand-counting paper ballots, an antiquated process that experts fear could inject error into an election system where very little has been found. Critics also worry that the inevitable delay in results from hand counting would be an opportunity for those looking to sow doubt about the outcome of future contests. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/10/politics/republicans-push-for-hand-counting-paper-ballots/index.html -
You know the truism lawyers cite that you shouldn't ask questions you don't know the answer to? High Tide Flooding 400 to 1,100% Increase The U.S. Southeast Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions saw an increase of over 400 to 1,100 percent, respectively, in high tide flooding days compared to the year 2000. Assessed over several decades, the national trend in high tide flooding frequency is accelerating, and is more than twice as likely now as it was in 2000. The rapid growth is in response to relative sea level rise, which is occurring along most U.S. coastlines. https://coast.noaa.gov/states/fast-facts/recurrent-tidal-flooding.html

Kari Lake: Interviewing the election denier who could be Arizona governor

"Democrats have denied elections just as much as the GOP." And your evidence is that Biden once agreed with some woman's comment? He didn't even raise the issue himself. Do you understand that a majority of GOP members of the House voted not to certify the 2020 election? What alternative universe do you live in? -
