      Donald Trump with his recent take-over of Venezuela, now the attempted coup in Iran, seems to want to control much of the world’s trade in Hydrocarbons.
      Russia and Iran are big players in these fields.
      It is getting rather dangerous and expensive for all of us.

        At Prime minister’s Questions, Starmer looked like a startled rabbit caught in the headlights of an impending disaster.
        He refuses to say if they will allow the opening up of any more natural gas fields or Oil fields in our area.
        He may still be the prime minister but he does not seem to be in charge.
        It looks like Ed Milliband is in charge of the HMS Titanic.

          Energy collapse, supply chains WRECKED, running out of Diesel, running out of fertiliser, running out of food.
          We are in for a hell of a ride.

          A very frightening view from the Duran with Stanislav Krapivnik.

            ” Starmer looked like a startled rabbit caught in the headlights of an impending disaster.”
            I don’t believe it’s as simple as the PM just saying “make it so.” The jackdaw gas field mentioned by Badenoch is entirely owned by a subsidiary of Shell, BG Group plc. I guess they have the final say as to whether they will foot the investment bill to start extracting. It takes 5-10 years to get to the extracting of gas.
            Also, there is legislation, loads of it:
            https://www.gov.uk/guidance/oil-and-gas-offshore-environmental-legislation

            That legislation was passed by Parliament and the PM has to comply with it just as one would expect or would you have the PM act trumpian and ignore parliament passed legislation? If he or the government were to do so I expect there would be legal redress in the courts. Do you want a parliamentary system or do you want Donald?

            For interest here is a report from McKinsey & co related to North Sea fossil fuels detailing the rising costs of extraction etc etc
            https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/industries/chemicals/our%20insights/from%20late%20life%20operations%20to%20decommissioning/meeting_the_challenge_of_increasing_north_sea_costs.pdf

            Soundbite politics Daily Heil style. Ed Milliband is running the government.
            Ed is doing what the legislation, passed by parliament, mandates him to do. I guess PM could replace him but the new energy minister would equally be bound by legislation. Government could introduce new legislation but I expect that would be slow in coming.

            Better idea, put the money in renewables instead and invest in a better grid.

              So much of the oil fields in British and whats left of the Scottish territorial waters are controlled by Ithika the company is UK registered but a subsiduary of Israeli controlled group. We all know about the throwing away of national oil reserves in our waters, whilst strangely the British State and then privatised BP still owed Iran all the money gained from extracting and selling Iran’s oil since 1911…. and spending decades agreeing to pay it back whilst instigating a coup against the country and then still not paying the debt owed to Iran during the following decades of sanctions.

              I would rather run out of oil than see another drop of the black stuff benefit the Zionists at our domestic self destruction and the deaths of countless more people they target and facilitate their project to annailate everybody. They have replicated this model in other countries, they arm Rwandans to try to control Eastern DRC for mineral resources. erc etc (although America and British State vankrole, provide mercenaries intelligence etc. all over African nations)
              The biggest energy company in Zionist hands bought the second largest oil refinery in Europe, with specifics for maritime fuel, in Sicily after it was put up for sale by Lukoil due to the sanctions imposed on Russian companies from 2022 onwards.
              The Italian Govt intended to renationalise the refinery from then on and repurpose it towards mixed fuel, then decarbonisation energy plant but the Americans leaned on them and “ecco la” Israeli control.

              The media never goes into who owns what and why… to actually give the public the bigger picture.

              The Leviathan Gas fields off Gaza and the West Bank and North Eastern Coast of Egypt would create social wealth for Palestinians and Egyptians, Russian company Gazprom offered the technical capabilities to get the Leviathan fields into operation. But we then booted off. Then the Nordsteam 2 sabotage and Israeli destruction of Gaza,The hostile infrastructure building up in Ukraine for years and the most recent confiscation of Venezuela’s oil all contribute to the hegemony of the Greater Israel / American hegemony Uber Alles. Eiropean leaders complicit in the self destruction of Europe before it gets to bombing the citizens. Or drones in our streets.
              It is up to judges to allow the likes of Rosebank or Clare field get the laughable environmental green light. But the revenue will flow to thise who wish us harm when they are finished their world domination project.
              If people realised that the mainstream narrative is hiding reality maybe they would ask the right questions, demand answers and a different future, but stemming some of the bleeding.

                Things are collapsing quickly in the United Kingdom.
                That Labour Prime minister weasel Starmer is going to try to lift the Labour Mayor of London up to the Lords.
                Talk is, he will have the London Mayor in his re-formed cabinet.
                Fuel prices are going through the roof.
                Unemployment is galloping towards a cliff.
                Well done The Labour Party.
                You ruined the U.K. Economy in twenty months.

                  Oh Dear, things could get even more troublesome for the Labour Government.
                  A short while ago the Prime minister’s top aid left his employ, Morgan McSweeney.
                  Then it has transpired his government phone got stolen.
                  Morgan reported the theft to the police but for some reason he told them it got stolen in a different part of London.
                  After members of parliament, not quite believing that, that phone had been stolen, the MET are stepping up action.

                    We, meaning the U.K. and the E.U. are only a few months from economic collapse.
                    The reality of an industrial civilization is as always reality, meaning fresh water, food, shelter, heat and power.
                    Probably our shelters will remain, unless we are drawn in to a world war.
                    In the modern world most agriculture is aided by chemical fertilizers, most made from Natural Gas.
                    Most electricity is now made from Natural Gas, since our virtue signalling stopped the mass use of Coal for Electricity production. The pillars of our existence are being discarded, mainly because of the false notion of Global Warming.
                    The stupid university brainwashed idiots who rule us, have ruined almost everything with their mindless virtue signalling.

                      We had a fuel crisis in the 1970’s which caused a lot of economic decline but in those days, we used Coal. In those days our gas came from Coal.
                      So, we were saved from collapse by Coal.
                      Ed Milliband has banned Coal.
                      Their first act was to blow up a Coal fired power station.
                      They are Idealogs, fanatics.
                      You can not run a country on fanaticism

                        Heat Islands can distort temperature recordings.

                          “Heat Islands can distort temperature recordings.”
                          Distort? Interesting choice of word.
                          Distort: “to change the shape of something so that it looks strange or unnatural”
                          So, what you imply is temperature readings are distorted near data centres. Do you mean that the temperatures are unaffected by the heat out put from these data centres and the measurements don’t reflect reality or do you mean that such “heat island” areas distort the overall temperature picture across the whole planet surface?
                          Or are you concerned about the impact that such data centres are having on local areas near to them by how they are distorting what would be the normal climate patterns if the data centre wasn’t there?

                          AI answer (yes I contributed to the heat generation).
                          Summary of Data Collection

                          Land Weather Stations: These provide precise air temperature readings from over 32,000 locations worldwide.

                          Ships and Buoys: These collect sea surface temperatures, contributing significantly to the overall dataset.

                          Satellites: They offer additional temperature data, enhancing the accuracy of global temperature measurements.

                          These data centres require electricity to work and the resistance of all the wiring of silicon chips produces (most of) the heat. Are you concerned about the heat generation of these data centres Michael?
                          In order to produce the electricity required to power the data centres power plants had to generate that electricity in the first place using fossil fuels. Approx 1/3 of the energy released by burning fossil fuels at power plants gets converted to electricity. The other 2/3 is dissipated as heat.
                          In order to power the data centres world wide (and indeed any electrically powered system from fossil fuel generated electricity) the power plants release twice as much heat energy as the data centre that uses the electricity generated.
                          So, in actuallity the data centre represents 1/3 of the heat output of the total in the process of making it work. The power generation plant releases the other 2/3’s.
                          Are you twice as concerned about the heat generation of power plants and their effects on the local environment?

                          Michael, step back from your prejudices and bias. Remove your economic argument for now and chase down the facts that are incontrovertible and incontestable. You will have to grapple with some physics but it isn’t that hard to grasp. Thermodynamics, energy etc. I am confident you have the capacity to work it out on your own. Don’t come back at me with “what about the jobs” and “mad milleband” and and and
                          Stick to physics. Can you do that? Can you demonstrate that you can discern fact from opinion?

                            Well ET you have me banged to rights, although a moderately intelligent person, I have little knowledge of science.
                            I strongly imagine that we, meaning 90 percent plus of the population of the world have been and are being tricked.
                            People in the pay of governments have been trying the frighten ordinary people for a long time, one scam after another scam.
                            I think computerisation and everything electric is aimed at control.
                            Ban Coal, ban logs because that gives people a level of immunity in their homes.
                            Make petrol or diesel, so expensive that people will turn to battery cars.
                            Then you have them by the balls.
                            In the blink of an eye, they will attempt to control everything you do.
                            They are doing their best to infantilise society.
                            “only the government and their advisers know all the truth, leave it to them to know what is best”
                            I have spent my life making my own choices, I generally despise councils and governments, they are liars and cheats and out for their own best interests and out to control our behaviours.
                            They, almost always, are not to be trusted.
                            I certainly do not believe one word Ed. Milliband says about Global Warming .

                            Actually, they barely mention Global Warming any more.
                            They seemed to have moved on, it is just about electrification and total control.
