If you’ve already read yesterday’s post (Never Mind The Waves) about switching offshore wind farm funding to oil and natgas, then read on. If you haven’t, read that first, then this one.
Here’s what happens when you elect a government which supports rabid eco-freaks by giving them control of the rudder. Here’s the background:
North Sea Giant Ready To Exploit UK’s Biggest Oil Field This Year
Sounds good, dunnit? And then the sting:
Britain’s largest oil field could be producing thousands of barrels a day by the autumn if Ed Miliband approves the North Sea project.
Well, that didn’t take long did it? Because Miliband is the all-time believer in the “Wind Is Going To Save Us” school of thought — in fact, he’s the fucking headmaster.
So, to sum up: Britishland is sitting close to a gigantic oil and gas field — bigger than anything they’ve ever had before, and larger than anything in the North Sea — and all that has to happen is for Rubber Band to wave the starter’s flag.
Which he isn’t going to do, even if pressure is applied to him by a core Socialist Labour Party constituency:
The powerful Unite union added its voice to the clarion calls demanding the Energy Secretary change tack in the wake of a price spiral triggered by Donald Trump‘s war on Iran.
General Secretary Sharon Graham, who has cut funding for Labour in a row over party policy, said he should not ‘let go of one rope before having hold of another’.
‘We all know that whatever happens the UK will still need for oil and gas for decades to come and the war in Iran is just the latest reminder that when we rely on overseas production our energy security is at the mercy of global events,’ she said. This comes as the Conservatives are set to force a vote in the Commons demanding an end to the ‘sheer lunacy’ of a ban to reduce prices at the pump.
And here it is:
But facing MPs today, Mr Miliband suggested it was unimportant where the UK got its gas.
‘Gas is bought and sold on the international market so whether it comes from the North Sea or imported it is charged at the same price,’ he said.
He went on to praise the amount of money raised by a renewable energy action earlier this year, saying technology like wind turbines and solar panels were ‘homegrown power that we can rely on’.
You have to marvel at the idiocy of a man who sticks to this insane policy, even when time and time again all his guff is proven to be demonstrably false — when the winds drop and the sun doesn’t shine, and areas of the country go dark and people shiver because there’s no power to provide them warmth, as happened just this past winter.
Miliband is quite literally going to bring the UK to its knees.
And at some point you have to ask yourself whether he’s doing it out of the ignorance of policy, or just out of spite. Either way, the result is going to be the same.
He doesn’t just need to be kicked out of government; he needs to be given a free ticket on Air Pinochet.
Pish! The U.K. is already on it;s knees. All Milband is doing is ensuring the scimitar will chop at the neck properly while everyone freezes in the dark. Would not surprise me one bit if they do approve the oil tapping so long as it all ships to China.
If you ask me (please do) the only cure for the U.K will involve the passing of Charlie III with Will taking full control, dissolving parliament ordering a return to full monarchical control, followed by obligatory conscription and training of all the football hooligans from Glasgow to Gloucester in order to have the military expel every single mooslimb and communist twat (much overlap) from the islands.
Given how frustrated his brother is, maybe there can be redemption for Harry as commander of the new Crusader Army seeing as he is likely frustrated as hell with that wife of his and could channel that into kicking ass. Yeah, I can dream of a renewed crusade to at the very least, expel them all to the continent. Not like France and Germany will even notice the influx. Oh, and while at all that, get the sods at MI5 properly engaged in dismantling the E.U., it is the only kind thing to do, giving the natives a chance to save their individual nations and their peoples.
Heck you could even “negotiate” with Australia to take all the former U.K. politicians now left without work, not like this has not happened before.
Had your morning brekkie of unicorn meat, have you?
Let’s not bicker and argue about ‘oo killed ‘oo. Oil is bad!
Mr. du Toit:
If I may beg to differ, the collectivist/statist/authoritarians who insist on these types of things are neither idiots, ignorant, nor spiteful.
What they ARE is evil.
They have exactly zero interest (in this particular example) of making sure of their country’s energy security. What they are interested in, to the exclusion of all else, is power and control over other people. If Britons have to starve while shivering in the cold and dark, that’s just fine with them since it gives them power and control, literally the power of life and death at their whim. They know damned well what they’re doing and thoroughly approve of the outcomes.
There’s that old maxim that the government will break both your legs and then expect you to be grateful for the crutches that they’re providing.
This is why the central governments of both the UK and the US have imported millions of illegals (who are by definition criminals) and then disarm their citizens. They want the almost-complete breakdown of rule-of-law, since a disarmed citizenry must become dependent on their government for protection. It’s why the Dem-wing (plus the GOPEr’s and RINO’s in this country) hate and despise the free states in which self-defense is not just allowed, but encouraged.
I don’t see this ending well. With the Rep-wingers refusing to actually do anything to improve our fraud-ridden voting system, the Dem-wing is going to blatantly, openly, and without fear of retribution, fraud the 2028 election. With the collusion of the utterly corrupt system of courts, and the acquiescence of the RINO’s and GOPEr’s, they will slam to a halt all of the (essentially useless) Executive Orders issued by Trump, and then reverse all of the progress made towards reducing the size of the Fed-dot-gov. We will failure-spiral into a mess just as bad as what places like Venezuela, Cuba, and Zimbabwe became, because Americans will only start shooting when they’re finally starving in the dark and cold.
Blackwing is right. They are utterly evil creatures.
Think of the good paying jobs that would be created by opening up more oil fields. Then think about the supportive industries that will flourish.
Yet another reason most bureaucrats need to be removed from office from time to time then tarred and feathered.
If you can dream in techniccolor, decapitation strikes become a consummation devoutly to be wished.
Against an internal enemy, not an external one.
But Brits have been disarmed.
