"Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will..." - Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937)

[@grahamjacob97]

The US is already by far the largest oil producer in the world - this has occurred under a Democratic President. There are two very important points that flow from this: 1) US energy costs are far lower than that in Europe (including the UK) - natural gas is almost "free" in the US; and 2) The US is the biggest beneficiary of the sanctions on Russia - so Europe including the UK are very much paying the price for the sanctions AND the profits are going to the US (where LNG exports were minimal a few years ago they are now significant). The above means that the USA has a major advantage in terms of costs of inputs to manufacturing while at the same time making a profit on the sale of oil and gas around the world. AND the US was only ever paying lip service to green credentials. Essentially, Europe is shooting itself in the foot (actually both feet) by going down the green path (BTW I understand the science and accept that climate change is both happening and caused by man). On immigration, I've just returned from Nigeria (7 months this trip and more than 2 years in total from 9 visits in the past 5 years). Something like 51% of the population would leave Nigeria if they could. That's in a population of more than 200 million. Across Africa alone there are 100's of millions who would leave if they could (and worldwide about 900 million - Gallup). The only way of reducing the demand in Europe and the US is by totally destroying the economy and turning it into a nuclear wasteland - that can hardly be desirable. If you've not been to a developing country almost everywhere looks better. The gap between what people have in developed countries is so far ahead of what there is in much of the developing world that the only way to prevent people coming is to be brutal. I'm not saying we should but I am saying that we have to be realistic. If people arrive in the UK from France then send them back to France. If the French don't want them, then they can send them back to Italy, if the Italians don't want them then they can send them back to Libya. Being nice won't get results - as I said there are simply overwhelming numbers of people who want to come to developed countries and the more that come the more money there is from their compatriots already here to send more. Immigration can be beneficial to both the immigrants and the country they immigrate to but the country they immigrate to has to be able to decide who comes. 1) oil production 2023 (bbl/day) (Wikipedia) USA: 13,308,000 : Russia: 10,272,000 Saudi Arabia: 8,950,000 Canada: 4,990,000 Iraq: 4,445,000 2) gas production 2023 (billion m3) (Google AI): USA: 1350 Russia: 586.4 Iran: 251.7 China: 234.3 Qatar: 181 3) LNG exports (billion m3) (Google AI): USA: 114.4 Qatar: 108.4 Australia: 107.4 Russia: 42.7 Malaysia: 36.3

There are more wind turbines just in Texas (the oil nexus of the US) than there are in the whole of the UK - 15K vs 11K. I think its really unfair to label our green credentials as lip service.

Some people however seem to only judge progress based on how much misery is inflicted on the population rather than actual emissions reduction.
