HOLY SHIT ORBAN LOST

GOOD RIDDANCE ASSHOLE

The madness of the UK's energy system is summed up in the £55m paid to wind farm operators in the last couple of months to cease generation (temporarily) because the energy interconnection (distribution) system was unable to handle the electricity transfer from generation to use; at the same time £217m was paid (mainly to gas-based generators) to make up the shortfall in renewable energy the congested network caused.

The network build-out needs to be accelerated!

Almost the defining mindset of the Right is the desire (or perhaps practice) of being both the oppressor/attacker & wanting to play the victim at the very same time.

Currently: US & Israeli attacks on Iran prompt self-defensive counter attacks that are then treated as an 'escalation'.

Or in the UK, after years of bad-mouthing Europe & finally engineering Brexit, claims the EU is being 'unreasonable' when failing to agree to the UK's desired 'reset' on the UK's terms!
