Your rants read just like a Trump press conference – and make as much sense. I’m reluctant to reply to you because I suspect, much like Trump, there’s something going on in the neural synapses, that isn’t belligerence or ignorance, but something more organic. Good luck.
Hello Shibboleth, I do not think I was ranting.
I was specifically offering a reply to ET who asked me to clarify how I understood the term Net Zero.
Without reading any information from any newspapers i just wrote down, what I thought was true.Geopolitics is moving very fast and in a very horrible way.
Yes, I agree, that it does look like Donald Trump is not reading from the same Hymn Sheet as the rest of Humanity.
He is not my keeper and I am not his keeper.
This will be focusing minds, in the world of economics and maybe the world of politics.
I expect one day we may be able to move away from Coal & Oil but I think it will be very, very hard to move away from Methane.You can use Methane for so much.
For making Electricity, for heating, for cooking, for making fertilisers, for making plastics, as fuel in boats, as fuel in cars/buses/trucks.
You can transport it across oceans, you can transport it through pipelines, including undersea pipelines.
You can produce Methane from almost anything. You can turn farm waste into Methane.In 2024, World global gas-fired electricity generation increased by 2.5%.
I was wrong, I had thought that more Electricity is produced with Methane than by Coal.
Apparently, Coal is still the greatest used fuel for making Electricity, in the world.
In Britain, we have now stopped using Coal for making Electricity.“I was specifically offering a reply to ET who asked me to clarify how I understood the term Net Zero.

That’s the problem right there by your own admission. You base your opinions on no information.Try this experiment (please don’t really). Drive your car into the garage, close the garage door and any windows or doors. Stand inside your garage and leave the car running. How long will you last? Not very, I’d say. Why? Because you’d likely be dead before long. You know that, which is why you won’t do it if you have any sense. You’ll likely have burned less than half a litre of fuel and all the CO2, Carbon monoxide, Nitrous oxide and the multitude of other gases coming from burning that fuel will kill you. Innocuous, harmless fossil fuels.
I am sorry to upset the Net Zero supporters on this forum,
in Scotland support for drilling for new wells is increasing.
59% of Scottish persons polled are now saying they support new drilling in the North Sea.ET
it seems liquid fuel prices and shortages are causing quite a bit of grief in Ireland.

Justice minister seems to be suggesting that when this dies down he will try to take the driving licences away from those who have been blockading fuel depots.About two billion tons of steel is produced each year, over half of World production comes from China.
About three quarters of World Steel is produced using Coal.
If we stopped using Coal, we would be quite short of steel.
If China were to stop using Coal to make Steel but still continue to make Steel they would need a lot more Electricity?
China uses Coal for more than half its production of Electricity.
The same case can be made for production of Cement and production of Glass.
Things are changing but in the short term Carbon dioxide will continue to join the Atmosphere.
That is, unless we give us use of Coal, Steel, Cement and Glass.
