The War starts Putin announces "Military Operation" in Ukraine. Explosions heard in Kyiv

It'll be interesting (and telling) to see how this affects social media

If he brings in martial law then both are possible. Surely at that stage even the most die-hard Putin supporters in Russia would start asking "what the heck is going on here...?"

We should suspend our green targets and start franking open more oil fields and coal mines .

Build some quick mini nuclear reactors.

Use the money we save not giving to foreign countries , to fund a sustainable future albeit delayed zero carbon one .

I agree with this. If its possible reopen Aberthaw temporarily or frack more, whatever it takes to get us off of Russian energy. Once we've we've that start building more nuclear/renewables.

We will just need energy from somewhere

No surprise here

The other backward thinking racist country in Europe that caused the last war where 1000’s of people died needlessly supports the current one….

Good luck with that because Agenda 30/50 is all about getting rid of the current energy resources.

Fundable if we step back use our vast stocks of fossil for a temporary period.

And fund that way .

The trouble with the rush to zero many know its unachievable in set timescales .

Part of me thinks the move to renewable is scary for Putin as has powers his profits and corruption.

Germany pulls massive amounts of fossil fuels from its land??

We have vast amounts of peat in the uk.
I was telling someone about ten years ago that using peat for heating etc would one day make a comeback.:sherlock:

It's a good idea if you can get somebody to do free energy, but generally those involved in the energy sector are interested in big profits, and they go to war in pursuit of them.

There is a strong argument for nationalization of utilities and trains.

Has any service gotten better since privatization?

When training on the Beacons about ten years ago we had to cross a vast area of peat and i thought then that this once natual resorce will make a comeback in the future.
I was told theres huge amounts of peat in the uk and coal so maybe its uses should be encouraged
