There is a particular historical irony in the timing. On the same day King Charles III ascends the throne, previously Europe’s most isolated from consequence – yet loudest voice in chasing the catastrophic climate change energy policies, the British government is forced to reverse course on years of energy regulations and restrictions.
Britain’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss announced, “a new round of oil and gas licensing will come next week with more than 100 licenses issued. A moratorium on fracking will be lifted and planning permission can be sought where there is local support,” in an urgent emergency effort to lower energy costs for British citizens.
The move comes in combination with a government plan to help citizens and businesses cope with skyrocketing prices for electricity and home heating fuel. The climate change chickens have come home to roost throughout Europe and the British government is urgently trying to head-off the calamitous consequences.
Inside the media announcements of the Truss plan, the biggest concern expressed is how the financial and multinational banking sector (the ESG investment groups) will respond to the government position. After decades of ideological “green” outlooks flowing into the energy industry, the biggest concern expressed in the financial analysis is how a reversal by such a large economic system will reverberate.
The climate change ideology has a stranglehold on the energy sector of the economy, this move by Great Britain would be the most significant push-back in decades. The minority green activists are apoplectic that they may lose control over the majority of opinion. The economics of a reversal in energy policy could reverberate throughout the western alliance, particularly in Europe. It will be interesting to see whether this shift in U.K. policy has ripple effects in the U.S.
LONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Britain’s move to green-light dozens of new oil and gas fields will leave investors and banks with a tough PR job as Britain struggles to shore up its energy security whilst sticking to its climate commitments.
Starting new oil and gas projects runs counter to the world’s shift away from fossil fuels in the fight against global warming and a commitment at last November’s U.N. climate talks to phase down their use.
Yet runaway inflation amid conflict in Ukraine has forced the hand of new British prime minister Liz Truss as Russian President Putin seeks to use energy as a weapon this winter.
Britain will launch a new round of oil and gas licensing next week with more than 100 licenses issued, part of a wider package of measures to tackle the energy crisis announced by Truss on Thursday.
And Britain’s not alone in reassessing its energy strategy. Germany, for example, has been forced to turn back to even dirtier thermal coal to help fuel its power plants and keep the lights on, hampering short-term efforts to rein in climate-damaging carbon emissions.
But for energy companies and the investors, bankers and insurers that finance them, new investment in fossil fuels also presents a challenge given many have made their own pledges to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century.
“This will absolutely hinder companies’ … ability to hit their climate targets,” said Pietro Bertazzi, global director of policy engagement and external affairs at non-profit environmental disclosure platform CDP. (read more)
This is the first crack in the western alliance and the ‘climate change’ agenda of the World Economic Forum as it relates to energy policy and ultimately control over human life within the alliance.
The war in Ukraine was being used as a justification to explain the consequences of European energy policy, particularly rapidly increasing costs for energy and food, but the war in Ukraine was not the cause. The true root cause of the exploding inflation and economic mess was the Build Back Better agenda, and the series of policies dictated from within it, that each nation willingly accepted.
let the greenie-weenies freeze to death. frack ’em all. sorry pantywaists
I know its intended to substitute for another word, but in this case as we’re talking about gas and oil… yes, indeed, Frack them all.
Why so hateful, Herb Brooks? I’ve been living in northern England the past 3 winters, through the pandemic. Wonderful historical places to see and very kind people. I know you are just showing off, but to wish people to freeze to death.
My gosh this place has gone downhill.
SMH 🙁
Well Molly, I understand what you are implying, however, you get what you vote for, and the green weenies asked for this!
This place has NOT gone downhill. Quite the opposite. Many are plain fed up, and cold anger burns hard. Is that so hard to understand dear? Many of us are sick and tired of being nice. Are sick of the insanity. Are sick of the theft of our tax dollars. Are sick of the Communists’ and their lies. In fact, it is now turning to white hot rage! Are we not allowed to express this disgusr and overwhelming concern? With wors that might offend you or others? How is being polite working out? How is bottling up our frustrations affecting ourselves and our mental health?
Sometimes you have to call a spade, a spade. There are many thoughtful, down to earth, decent people here, at CTH. I can honestly say, Herb is correct to say what he did. And he is also ALLOWED to say it. I see no issue with posters such as him, saying what he did. Its called a normal reaction, to insanity…..
Yes there are those who did not, and yes, I would assume elections in the UK were not fair or free.
That being said, the UK/EU is chock full of idiots that believe the BS about climate, and refuse to see the truth or facts. These are the ones that think the MSM is telling truths, and never lie.
They deserve it, if they buy into this.
I feel for those who dont buy into it. But this group is the majority, and have allowed the psychos to rule all…..
You get what you allow. Dont like it? Change them out or fight them off. Freezing is not fun. When you let the inmates run the asylum, and the normies do nothing about it, what is there to say?
If people wont stand up to the climate freaks, then I totally understand where Herb is coming from.
Pro Tip: These freaks wont be taken down unless people like Herb call them out. Tell me the last time being nice or trying hard not to offend those who ” believe ” worked out. Hint: It never has……
Great reply Bob. Exactly how I feel… but you used much nicer words.
Right the hell on!
I live in the suburbs of the NY Gulag and let me tell you something: these Commie Bolshevik Demo Freaks are not backing off of their insanity, not one bit.
Whether it’s CVD or the climate BS, they are not relenting. Unless you live in a Blue Commie state, you probably have not experienced it.
Just yesterday I was having a conversation with a friend, a local business woman I did not want to get into politics because I know that she is a freakin’ liberal nut job.
I made the mistake of mentioning I was surprised at how many shops STILL REQUIRE MASKs. If you can believe that one.
That was her excuse to go off on a vile rant against President Trump, ASHLEY BABBIT (yes, poor Ashley deserved to get shot!), Trump supporters, etc etc.
Here’s what it came down to, the point where I left (for good). I said how can you justify shooting and killing an unarmed WOMAN?? The response, she deserved it!
I said to her- well that could have been me. I was considering going to DC that day to protest.
She said, well sorry to say, but if you were down there and you got shot, you would have deserved it.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK, MENTALLY ILL IMBECILES.
But isn’t that the point Molly is making? Just like your friend thinks they “deserve it” some are saying the Europeans deserve to freeze. No they don’t. They don’t deserve it any more than people in American cities deserve to freeze and starve when “they” shut down our grids.
Good heavens. I get the anger but surely none of you mean what you say if you think about it.
Christian charity is difficult. That’s why so many fall short. That being said, it is very difficult to resist retribution towards those who wish you harm and/or death. The mentality of the totalitarian left is to infuse hatred in their followers to the point that those people will do the dirty work. So far, that includes burning, beating, looting, and murder. It includes the fanning of a 21st century race war. In a literal sense, if they could simply push a button and end the lives of those who disagree with them, they would. I know for a fact that Hillary Clinton would. She’s an absolute psychopath.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
It is very easy to substitute the “other” in Niemoller’s observation with MAGA, Republican, conservative, Christian, etc., and see that polite is not only ineffective but extremely dangerous.
I agree polite is not ineffective, but that is far different than wishing an entire continent freeze as some above did. I’m sorry, no one really wants that.
One thing that does work is prayer. If you want Western Civ to survive, go to church. A real Christian church. That’s what made us great.
Stay away from the woke churches. It is usually easy to tell if you just listen to a few sermons and look at their online presence. While some are more subtle, most woke one are proud of it.
Ill say it in simple, plain terms. So that there is 0 mistake on what I mean.
The time for being nice is over. The time to fold, and work with these freaks is long past. The times where we sit here, saying nothing, is not only dangerous, its madness.
You either stand up, stand tall, be counted, speak your piece, and do what you must, or lose it all, well, that time is NOW.
Ridicule is a sharp edged sword. SD says so, and I agree with that, 100 per cent.
We do not sit there, as parents, and allow toddlers to handle firearms, or stick metal objects in electrical sockets, without reacting. We teach them lessons. About these things, and more.
If you believe turning the other cheek and keeping these conversations above the belt is going to sway the needle, then my friend, you are deluding yourself. The radical left Communists care not about decorum, politeness, or how YOU FEEL ABOUT ALL OF THIS CRAZY…..
Warriors do not bend a knee, and Free Peoples do not allow such obvious and total destruction of said freedoms, by being nice! Not anymore!
Look around you.
Out of control crime.
Open borders.
Lawlessness.
Allowance of such lawlessness by law enforcement all over the world.
Covid lies.
Forced Vaccinations.
Political persecutions of anyone who does not agree with the left and their insanity.
Teaching children filth and perversion.
You know I could list 100 more insane things that our obvious enemy’s are engaged in, which take away our freedoms and wealth.
The time for sitting down, shutting up, or being nice is done. Finito. Nada. Over……
Christ himself, has a lot to say about this.
I assume since you seem so soft and harmless, you dont seem to realize that there are lions among us, who will be the ones to speak out when it is needed, and will defend people such as you, when it is required. Realize that 100’s of millions of men and women are not meek sheep, willingly heading towards the slaughter….
Strong insane actions, require strong words and actions.
I assume since Ive spelt it out, in plain old English, you and anyone of your persuasion, can understand the bottom lines…
We, as a species, humans, will never rid ourselves of these jackals, by sitting here like Mother Theresa…and bowing down. Turning the other cheek has never unseated a tyrant, nor its followers. Ridicule, and/or blood and violence is what has gotten rid of them. Being polite has never done it……
Politeness went away for me when they came for the children. I dont think I need to spell out what they have done, and are actively doing, as they teach children about perversions and filth! It is beyond the pale and words at times!
If you and others cant understand that, then tough, that is the way it is. As a man, and an Alpha, I will say what I mean and mean what I say. We can leave the soft undertones for people such as yourself Whaaa.
The left? They are filth, and as such, should be ostracized and ridiculed as such…… too bad, so sad, if people are offended. /with all the respect our team mates are due, if they cannot understand frustration and cold anger, and the words that come with it, say a prayer or skip the post, as to not offend your sensibilities or politeness levels. Other than that, the people we speak of, deserve anything that is said. God can forgive me if I am wrong, but there will be a time when people who have the fortitude to speak out and stand up will be all you have…and then, I would bet, you and others wont be offended, when your butt is on the line, and that oif your family’s well being.
War is not pretty, and polite, and make 0 mistake friend, we are at war, one way or the other. On all fronts. There is no debate about this.
There is such a thing as going too far, and people having ENOUGH of it!
No one is wrong for pointing it out, even with colorful language. 😉
Bob, I don’t disagree with all you say. We all need to separate in our minds between the overwrought and hypnotized women (and beta males) who believe themselves superior because they go along with the “cool kids” — from the evil psychopaths who manipulate these fools in order to create division and to destroy.
We all now recognize getting these morons to understand electric cars don’t run on fossil fuels is a fools errand. They are incapable of straying from their herd. Sure, ridicule will help shut them up, but so what. They will still need to feel better than you and I and they will fall for anything or anyone that promises them that feeling of superiority over others.
I’m off my point. My point is that wishing ALL of Europe or NYC freezes or starves because “they deserve it” will have one hell of a karma backlash if Dominion rules the day in the US.
No. I hope they don’t freeze and I hope the don’t starve, because the majority of folks who will die do not “deserve it”. That is my point and I know deep down you all know I’m right.
DO Run on fossil fuels
Bob of the North, I’m not saying that YOU are wishing death and starvation, as you have elaborated. But I am saying to Molly (above) that we are all in this together and we don’t wish she and her countrymen freeze for the sake of the cause.
Thanks for all your thoughts, Whaaa?? I appreciate them.
After thinking, I shouldn’t have said “this place has gone downhill” this isn’t fair to many people here. And no one can beat SD articles and knowledge he shares, so I’ll just go with… it has changed.
Y’all carry on. 😉
Bobo, thank you for saving me a lot of typing! Very well said! God’s judgement is at hand and the tumult that accompanies those 7 years appears to be quite close. Jer:7:16, 11:14 & 14:11. ….I tell ye, pray not for this people. The gutless Christ rejectors will soon be destroyed and those of us who are saved will be taken away to eternal bliss. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.
They are contaminated with the evil of the people they listen to. Evil begets evil and we are living it right now.
What your friend exposes is the deliberate demeaning of anyone that disagrees with the commiecrats. It’s the same tactic used by Hitler blaming everything on the Jews. Your friend has been manipulated into believing that those who disagree are beneath contempt and deserve violence. The enemedia won’t discuss the comparisons because they’re in on the tactic.

“You get what you vote for”
NO! MOST of us did NOT get what we voted for. The 2020 US Presidential elections were stolen from the majority of American voters.
Re-read it. I mentioned that, several times. Your welcome. 🙂
I am EMPHASIZING the oft spoke of “We got what we voted for.” BS line that shows up quite often here at the Treehouse and I’m refuting that one single line in your 1st paragraph. People, myself included, can take the time to read your whole essay and see that you acknowledge vote cheating but your constant condescending remarks make it a chore.
The commies deserve what they voted for. They arrest people for FB posts that “upset” people.
Tell the greenness they can switch off their heat if they want.
Experience tells me they will reply, “it’s not fair for me to turn my heat off until everyone turns their heat off.”
Agree with the sentiment Herb, BTW, I love what you did with the US Hockey Team!!
We’ve switched all of our electrical lighting over to whale oil lanterns.
Oof… how much does that run ya each month?
Land whales I presume !!!
Charles used to be the Prince of Whales 🙂
WORDMAN, You have such a way with “Word Smithing “🤗😁🤔
Always brings up a smile.😁🤗
A lot of them at Walmart!
No Walmart in the UK.
Do you drill for whale oil or put them in a press?
You harpoon them, pull them alongside your ship, deploy your flensers, and render the fat into oil by boiling it.
You put them in a press.
First pressing, you get that virgin whale oil for the uppity people; then keep pressing that whale for lower quality oil for the commoners. 😁
Cold press for TPTB market.
From what I remember whale oil is in the head. A huge whale can yield several gallons. The oil for lamps is inside the head as part of it’s hearing long distance and they used an axe like tool to crack it open. The fats are more for soaps and many many other products from the era.
So glad we don’t do that anymore. Punching a hole into the ground seems much more civilized. Poor whales.
We use pig lard….smells like bacon.
If global warming were such an imminent threat winter would have disappeared entirely. If it were as the liars say it would be an “Endless Summer” most everywhere, all the time. Brits would be walking ’round in boardshorts, tshirts and Crocs mid February. Fact is, these lunatics “in charge” are trying to set us up to “fight a warming trend” when we will be entering a solar minimum cooling trend.
I haven’t looked at the summaries yet but I’m pretty sure we had a cooler than normal summer in northern Illinois this year. I’ve had plenty of days when I didn’t need to run the AC at all. Spring was cool too.
Definitely been cooler in SE Tex…bring on solar minimum…
Not true in CA, hotter than normal & 90’s forecast for most of Sept, still in extensive drought!
I hear the Chi coms are seeding clouds in china to ease their drought. I always wonder what effect their geoengineering over there has in other parts of the world? Say for instance the west coast of the US. I hear Bill Gates is also tampering with the weather.
The real manmade climate change is more than likely geoengineering.
https://usawatchdog.com/man-made-weather-engineering-killing-us-all-dane-wigington/
I worked for a Texas state agency that actively seeded clouds to produce rain in semi-arid parts of the state.
George Bomar did that work for decades.
Don’t know if it really made a difference. But spraying particulates in the upper atmosphere to initiate nucleation seems pretty hinky.
Heck, northern ca where I am we just had a week plus straight of 103-116, mostly on the high end. 103 was one of the cool days.
Not where I live in SE TX!
high 80’s – mid 90’s by me – 45 minutes west of Chicago
Definitely cooler here in the midwest this summer. The other night it was 53 degrees. I haven’t used the a/c either…. but my electric bill was $25 higher, and I expect that to go up. Damn dems.
The Climate Change Cult was selling a global freeze back in the late 70s. I remember the UP and AP articles in the local dead fish wrapper in Portland, Oregon at the time.
Once the main stream propaganda parrot media was completely captured by the IC and turned into a psyop it was inevitable that it would spill over into the educational system. It’s been down hill ever since then.
I have lived in low 1800’+ and medium 3000’+ desert, in Az. all my life.
Thid year, they are saying we have been experiencing a “heat wave”, but its not any different tban many other years, and milder than some.
The only difference is now they call it a “heat wave”, we used to just call it “summer”.
And yeah, of COARSE you be sure to hydrate, stay inside during hottest part of the day, etc.
Nothing abnormal about this summer. Its a hoax.
And we all KNOW its a hoax. I’m actually surprised they are cracking so quickly. Its almost as if they DIDN’T foresee the obvious consequences of their insane policies, and are now realising
“Oh, CRAP! The PEOPLE that we have such disdain for, have PITCHFORKS, and if they all storm our castles, we might not survive!”
So much for “this is all a PLAN, these are “smart” people.
I remember that too. If you search back in time, the 1930’s had a bunch of newspaper articles about the coming freeze too. Sent copies of those to a climate alarmist “friend” and haven’t heard from her since then; must be 16 years ago now.
Much warmer than normal in England and parts of Europe. Very dry too.
FYI Plymouth Rock still appears to be above the waterline.
… and no one on Tiki Island is doing anything to prepare for a rising sea.
And the elites kept purchasing their mansions on islands, so I’m not worried.
Great news for the suffering citizens of the UK.
Liz Truss may turn out to be another strong woman who will save Britain.
This is a great first step that will have huge repercussions in the West. Amazing that the ass clowns are still trying to cover themselves with the fig leaf of the horrors of fake climate change disaster.
Meanwhile, thousands of actual scientists, tops in their respective fields, are signing on to a new declaration that this “green” BS is a hoax.
This article says it all- green fascists are destroying the world.
https://amgreatness.com/2022/08/16/green-fascists-are-destroying-the-world/
Seems like both Germany and the UK have broken the code, and may not freeze to death. On the other hand slojo & Co are lost in space
FUBAR…ideologues that will go down with the good ship USA.
Lets see what happens in the Italian elections, coming up in about a week.
Its already projected the Right party will win a majority, and they do not like Brussels dictates.
This could get real interesting, real fast,..AND be a predictor for our elections, in Nov and 2024.
Like an avalanche or landslide,…very slowly,.. and the all-at-once?
Steve Bannon had a special about the woman who is running (forget her name) and she has great support and likely to win. If she wins, Italy may exit the EU.
Maybe MOST Euro Union commoners don’t like Brussels spouts?
All the corrupt climate ‘scientists’ that advanced the fraudulent global warming hoax for the past 30 years should all be tried for crimes against humanity. And then executed.
Or exiled. To Antartica. In bathing suits.
The Sun has been entering into a Grand Minima for the past 20 years. Their Big Lie, and the green energy insanity it enabled, will kill millions in the coming years.
…shivvy me skivvies….
Canadian conservatives just voted for Pierre Poilievre to lead the party.
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-poilievre-wins-decisive-victory-to-take-conservative-leadership
We shall see what comes of this.
DD
DD- what do you make of this?
My soul wants to be excited that we have our own version of Trump.
My brain tells me that we have a Ted Cruz. All oratory excellence and conservative sound bites. Absolutely no desire for real change. Cruz’s comments on the J6ers told me all I need to know.
I detest RINOs and fake conservatives vehemently. They are more loathsome than liberals because they lurk in the shadows under cover of darkness and strike from their concealed position.
I’m shocked at how few conservatives have seen the game being played. I stumbled on CTH about a year ago. It has radically changed my view of politics. I know that what Sundance describes in the US is being played out in every western nation. The exact same playbook. Once you see the strings, you can’t unsee them. They are everywhere.
NY has turned into a hell hole. I tune into 930 AM and catch talk radio. I’m not sure if you get it in your area, but makes me sick to hear what is happening in the great state of NY. So many Godly people in upstate. NYC seems to be our GTA. The urbanites control the state.
Stay strong Seneca. We are both behind enemy lines.
DD
…who funds Poilievre? That would be a massive clue…..
Once you see him for what he is, the answer is obvious, and you don’t have to do all that complicated research.
He’s a RINO, the reek emanates off him, right thru the screen.
He is a CINO if anything. LOL
Elected on the first ballot with > 68% of the votes. Resounding victory. Won all but 8 of the 338 ridings.
The 8 not won by him (6 in Quebec) went to the REAL RINO Jean Charest. Charest will be consigned to the ashheap of history – deservedly
Pierre has said no WEF people in his cabinet. He will be defunding the mouthpiece of the Liberal Party, the CBC.
Pierre supported the Truckers Convoy. I believe that Leslyn Lewis, who finished 3rd with 10%, will shortly be deputy leader. She is great.
This team is the very best we could have hoped for here in Canada.
Don’t make the mistake of equating the horror of US politics with C’dn politics. It is you who have infected us (at least the Liberals), not the other way around.
Speak of what you know, not what you think you know. And do a little research.
Well, getting oratorical excellence and conservative soundbites is a baby step forward, at least in helping to educate the Canadian slow learners. Canada needs to make a giant leap forward but I would take what little progress you can get. Anything is better than the pompous idiot you have now (ditto for Bidet)!
Like you D.D. we out here in British Columbia are cynics.
However Charest getting a kick in the balls was terrific.
P.P. May do okay..🫰
DD- thanks for the info
Yes, I am behind the lines in the Blue Gulag state of Nuevo York.
During the lockdown I went back to work, we live on eastern shore. I spent time driving to Waverly and burbs of Rochester, took thruway over to Hartford couple times. The contrast of masks and hysteria was always a hoot. I’d gas up in rural NY and nobody gave a fig, the closer I got to the coast the crazier and unhinged people became. Have a great Sunday.
Chautauqua County, New York here.
…prediction?…
Excellent news! Let’s hope the momentum builds.
PP is an ASS, and a WEF’er,…but I repeat myself.
When the Convoy started, I got a chance to see him in action, and it took about 2 minutes to spot him as a RINO.
Its like after 2020, I loaded the Newsmax app, watched for a week and unloaded the app, recognising it as,Fox 2.0.
Once you learn the signs, you can spot em, a mile away.
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you, right?
Sorry, but stupidity and ideology seem much more likely than vast worldwide conspiracies. Mattias Desmet has a book out – “The Psychology of Totalitarianism” . Don’t fully agree with everything in there, but perhaps you should take a look?
Destroying everything is what the left’s ideology seems intent on – then “Build Back Better”. Surely you can’t want to do the same? How would that make you different from them?
Pierre is the best we can expect for now. Perfection is just not achievable, and demonizing everyone who does not live up to one’s idea of perfection is hardly wise, is it?
My goal is to protect my family at all costs. Destroying everything helps me achieve that goal exactly how again?
More discouraging of Republican voters from the Democrats’ best kept secret … the “Dutchman”, who won’t be satisfied until we hand the Dems a super majority!
As always, Sundance hits the nail on the head. Thanks for making CTH a daily must-read for me.
Hey where are all those guys that popup now & than claiming they’ve invented an engine that runs on water or seaweed or whatever. This is their time to shine. Shouldn’t the greeny little maxists be chasing after these inventors with fists full
of money? CNN should be reporting from in from of Poindexter’s garage showing off his latest hamster powered V8.
A thousand up votes for you.
They’re selling “generators” now all over the internet. Except those are just battery packs with an inverter to run AC appliances. They don’t generate anything and they require charging from a wall outlet or a solar panel (if you want to wait hours and hours and hours). Oh, and they cost as much as a REAL generator that is actually useful.
We are adding another solar panel to our little travel trailer so we can run the heater if we are without house gas or electricity this winter. Fortunately we live in very sunny SW Utah with 255 sunny days per year (205 is U.S. average).
Electric heaters, or anything that uses the battery electricity to heat something (electric H2o heaters, toasters, coffee pots, electric blankets) has a tendency to kill batteries.
Thanks! Dutch but can you explain your “kill batteries” assertion? I understand draining but not damaging. How/why does that supposedly happen? Any link?
Here’s a link for the electrical terminology much of which is pertinent to batteries.
https://www.rebel-cell.com/knowledge-base/volt-amps-amp-hour-watt-and-watt-hour-terminology-and-guide/
Short answer is it takes a lot of electrical charge to heat something by resistive heating.
Just found out our new trailer’s heater uses propane but battery/electricity for the fan. We couldn’t think of anything else we would use that heats up; so that just leaves lights and the charger for the laptop and cell phones. As long as we have extra propane we are fine and as backup I have a solar cooker and a generator. Thanks!
Research “Deep Cycle” batteries. A typical automotive battery is not designed to be severely depleted while a “Deep Cycle” battery is made for exactly that purpose. A car battery and a deep cycle battery may both be 12 volt but are designed differently.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-cycle_battery
My husband just told me our trailer has two deep cycle batteries so we are good. Thanks!
I wouldn’t suppose that Truss has mentioned anything about self-sufficiency and independence yet, has she?
Actually, yes, she has. She was pledging working towards both in her speech on tackling the economic crisis just prior to the news on the Queen breaking.
Prayers that Prime Minister Truss has the intestinal fortitude to stay the course. We shall see how it works out.
Some in this thread alone seem to disagree. Fracking is evil?
‘It will be interesting to see whether this shift in U.K. policy has ripple effects in the U.S.’ – Sundance
Britain’s Brexit vote in June 2016 preceded Donald Trump’s election in November 2016.
So there is precedent for expecting Britain to serve as a leading indicator for US political developments.
Green energy is as good for the population as much as Soylent Green was,.
In Great Britain a bit of sanity returns to an insane world let’s hope it’s contagious.

Let’s hope Canada, Sweden and Italy vote for conservative leaders very soon, they seem to be on the cusp. And we want to see wonderful Bolsonaro in Brazil reelected.
They are afraid of something. Maybe the people?
If they really wanted to hurt Putin. They would flood the world market with oil from all sections of the world, where oil just sits there waiting to be pumped and they know that would hurt Putin more than anything else. More than their silly war in Ukiland.
The world is being mismanaged by global criminals mob.
…true…
It is the people they are afraid of. I live in Cambridgeshire and everyone I spoke to at a party with ex-colleageus was very anti the new lockdown the media tried to float back in August.
There is a Stand in the Park groupin this county that is an anti lockdown group that hast met every Tuesday and Sunday without fail for the past two years to give each other moral support to resist the lockdowns. They produce their own newspapers which the housewives distribute in their own neighbourhoods and anti lockdown stickers are produced and distributed every week.
The paper even has businesses advertising in it. I have noticed thid level of grass roots resistance throughout the UK.
The breakdown of th NHS has also weirdly caused lots of people to not only go quiet on their support for lockdown but for any movement that purports to be ‘for the common good’. It is a sight I never thought I would see but it looks like the pongos are mobilising.
Excellent!

Also if you were making the financial decisions for an energy company, would you want to invest into a country or environment that has already shown to be hostile to oil and gas?
It takes millions of dollars to drill an oil well. Its a capital intensive and capital up-front business.
Plus, they didn’t figure in British aversion lingering on after Piper Alpha.
What? I doubt that more that 5% of our population has any idea what it was.
Thank you!
First thing I thought of also!
After being so fanatical about the Greenie Climate change garbage…..
I would be hesitant to invest in drilling…..very hesitant.
I recently saw a video where the Greenie fanatics went to gas stations and destroyed the gas pumps there.
They are batsh!t crazy!
But, you gotta start somewhere! At least it sends the right message & the peasants/deplorables can take it from there!
Has she mentioned coal? Lots of technical improvement over the decades in reducing emissions.
Very true Interested Patriot.
These things do not just produce a usable product over night.
These new 100 oil lease permits that the new PM of Great Britain is bragging about will not solve the problem facing the country this winter or even the next few winters.
They are still in big trouble.
And they need FINANCING,…which ultimately means going to Blackrock, Vantage and one other, 3 companies that basically all own each other.
And they have instituted ESG scoring,..like “social credit scores” only for companies.
Hard to see Oil companies getting the financing, as their ESG score would be very low.
So, this new P.M. may just be going thru the motions, and going for headlines.
Remember, the Ukraine war will be won by how people PERCIEVE it, rather than the reality on the ground, or whatever that b.s.was they said at the outset.
THESE ideologues REALLY believe that, like MMT they believe “mind over matter”; if WE don’t MIND, it doesn’t matter.
They believe they can manipulate the perception of reality, and so don’t need to be concerned WITH ACTUAL reality.
And just as MMT is going to bite them in the butt, so is this notion of altering the perception of reality.
State Street, is the third company. IIRC
Indded. At the same time she was announcing that HM Government was going to subsidise our energy bills to the tune of around £150B, increasing our debt and stripping potential capital out.
Truss is so lucky. On the day she said that the Queen died and there has been no discussion on it since. Talk about a good day to bury bad news.
There are already oil rigs in the N Sea. My friend saw them when she visited Scotland 2 years ago
This is about on land fracking and extracting every drop possible from existing wells under the North Sea and maybe find some new.
Just looked it up..14 to 25 days to set up a fracking operation.
the real reason for the shift in UK policy is because of the massive increase of people joining the “Don’t Pay UK” movement who are flat out saying they will stop paying their energy bills come October.. it has spread throughout the population like wildfire..
the people are fed up with their bullshit.. and now their government is responding..
whether it is merely a stalling tactic or not is still in question.. because there is lag time from drilling to a refined product.. i.e. “field to fork”.. applies to energy as well..
many links out there about this.. “Don’t Pay UK”..
Sounds like we need a “Don’t Pay USA” movement to catch on fire.
There’s no question the governments in Europe were looking as mass demonstrations. Europe also has an amazing history of executing politicians.
I’m in England and I disagree. That campaign sounds good but falls apart in the commercial reality, a bit like refusing to pay TV licenses.
This was a pure political play by a new Government desperate to come in on a positive wave. Whether it would have done quite the same had it known any announcement would be swamped by the Queen’s death I doubt.
It is a financial catastrophe for the UK. In effect an open cheque for the energy industry. We are in deep, very deep trouble and few understand what is coming.
I stayed at a hostel in London in the 70s. Building was probably built late 1800s.
My room had a coin operated heater. If you wanted heat you had to keep feeding it coins. Heater was adequate to heat one pair of feet.
Woe if you ran out of change.
Those were the days, immediate reckoning for your own wellbeing, not some faceless uncontrollable system.
Charles’ climate change fascism just might be enough to cause thr brits to finally end the useless monarchy.
Not entirely useless, love of the crown seems to be a common factor in unity of the UK people, much better than the dis-unity we have here in the states! Other than MAGA, we have nothing left
Which European country will be next to rebel against the WEF?
Sweden and Italy???
If I buy an electric vehicle and put a trailer behind it carrying a gasoline generator with a cable going forward to the car, do I still get the rebate?
You get the rebate for the car, but the trailer/generator is on you. Except in California where they are outlawing generators along with other small engines.
Oh, how I’d love to see this in action. 😂
Why not put small windmills on the roof, trunk and all along the sides so when the car is moving they will charge the batteries?
I overheard two Tesla owners talking about their vehicles. The Dr. had just replaced his battery and investigated whether he should buy a new one instead of a new battery (anticipating the rebate paid for by taxpayers. He was informed there are restrictions on these tax credits and NO electric vehicles available in the US qualify.
Up all their bloody arses!
Sometimes one just isn’t enough.
What made them think they could build back better when they’ve never built anything?
If they destroy the tools and the skilled workers ;who will be doing the building ?Isn’t it curious they never talk about what it is they plan to build?
They should thank Putin for saving them from the green nightmare.
God really does work in mysterious ways.
What a great comment ifitwerenotso!!!!!
They can’t even build windmills or solar panels without the so-called fossil fuels.
I’m long whale blubber.
“a challenge given many have made their own pledges to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century.”
The solution is obvious: Support the push to settle other planets, then purchase carbon credits from the Martians.
duh!
Ah yes, King Charles
One wonders just what the Ron Klain group will do. They signed on with a one term idiot. If Biden were not the walking dead and available to run in 2024, my guess is the Klain Klan would do an enery turn-around and spend the days between now and the run up to the primaries of the 2024 election praising themselves for averting a catastrophm even though that catastrophe was of their own making. But where does it say Dems can’t lie and always get away with it?
However, Biden is the walking dead and no way will be the Dem nominee of the next Presidential election. Thus, the Klain Klan will not do a turn-around. They won’t be the team that’s assigned to the next puppet-in-waiting. Of course, Rice will be on the next team because as long as Barack Obama walks the earth someone has to watch his back in any Dem presidency.
But Klain? No, he and his troupe will be gone so I think they’ll stay the course.
One of the advantages of fracking is the ease in reopening a well that was properly shut down and sealed. Some of the natural gas capacity that we have here was simply sealed up when it was canceled on Biden D1. I don’t know how much of European and British capacity was similarly sealed and ready to reopen. If it is significant, at least gas may be flowing quicker that we think. As I understand, the oil capacity may be a bit more difficult, but it is far easier to reopen a closed well suitable for fracking than it would be open start new ones.
There are fracking supplies but service companies are a problem. The stuff still exists but the companies that use them do not. Some of the supplies and equipment have been sold off but some is still around. There have been a lot of bankruptcies in the oil and gas service industry.
Virtually no fracking to date in Europe so nothing to reopen.
As posted above..14 to 25 days to get a fracking operation up and running..Rig mobilization 2 to 3 days..did a google search..I live in SW PA.
I wrie from memory and according to age limitations I could be wrong. Was not fracking made illegal because of large untapped oil and gas under or near landon airport, under south west england under the sea and I remember manchester and liverpool with oil ready for fracking. Check it out.
The UK needs another courageous and committed Churchill to mobilize all their energy resources and supplement with gas/oil from the U.S., just as the citizens of that country were mobilized to rescue the Dunkirk soldiers during WWII. Doubtful Truss has the skills, or perhaps even the motivation, to rise to that supreme level of leadership.
Glad she is giving Charles the finger right out of the gate.
Charles wont want to antagonise the British people so soon after his moms death and his ascension to the throne. At the moment theres a lot of goodwill. Mess it up and he is toast. The poeple had a high regard for Q E
‘Huge relief to millions’ Firms welcome bill freeze announced by Liz Truss
BUSINESS leaders and consumer groups said the Government’s new Energy Price Guarantee will bring ‘huge relief to millions’.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1666781/liz-truss-energy-bills-price-cap-freeze-guarantee-uk-businesses
Yeah and they and their children will be paying off the £150billion for decades. And what happens in 6 month when it still the same. another £100 billion?
It 10% of the UK’ GDP in new borrowing. It would be $1.5 trillion in the US.
And it inflating on top of the current 20% annually.
Or they could just stop embargoing themselves.
Nailed it. We have been shafted by the energy companies and our own Government.
Don’t blame the energy companies. It is the bankers who are the ESG enforcers. They need to be broken up.
Interesting to see a civilisation destroy itself. So many generations to get here and 2 generations to implode.
The plebs (middle-class) got to uppity for their idiotic betters. This paves the way to neofeudalism. The serfs and their nobles, the haves and the have nots.
Truss and Sunak are WEF young leaders.
Boris Johnson once described the World Economic Forum as “a constellation of egos involved in orgies of adulation”.
Heads, Schwab wins. Tails, Schwab wins. With Truss, looks like Schwab won.
I can’t think of any republican other than Trump who isn’t incredibly weak on this issue, and that’s why the left has been emboldened to enact these crazy policies limiting fossil fuel production. Even pro oil and gas republicans concede the moral high ground to the left and say yes, we need to transition to wind and solar, but we’re just doing it too fast and need an all of the above strategy. Wrong. Wind and solar will never be viable without government subsidies. Electric cars are bad for the environment overall and shouldn’t be subsidized. I wish someone would say these things. Climate change “science” is about a valid as the CDC’s covid “science.” We need to ditch the subsidies for non-viable energy and openly pursue sensible energy sources such as natural gas and nuclear. If something more efficient comes along, great, but there is nothing else that is currently viable.
“A moratorium on fracking will be lifted and planning permission can be sought where there is local support…”
So, the enviromentalist will b!tch and moan and deny fracking in their areas while enjoying the benefits of fracking from the areas where they despise the people. 🙄
The irony. The commies didn’t want a death total on the nightly news of people dying from the cold as the narrative is supposed to be about saving people from global warming.
Very strong leadership now in Britain.
Putting your people/country needs first.
Boris who??
Just saying…….
No one is asking why BoJo the clown didn’t do this.
Questions for the CC crazies: how does one measure the temperature of the earth within 100th of a degree?; what is the optimal temperature of the earth?
King Charles, like Biden, promises one thing, but my money is on his getting in the middle of the new PM’s fossil fuel plans in 10 Days. Long Live the Green.
I have to wonder at the wisdom of the people who would be willing to make such huge investments into an industry as fraught with instability from a political perspective.
So, they open up new leases and drop the fracking ban, companies spend billions on the leases and exploration and then drilling and preparing to start pumping…and then the green freaks succeed in a lawsuit blocking further development or win a key election and undermine the PM, or get a referendum passed and all that progress goes away and those companies basically just pissed away billions of dollars for nothing.
Same thing with the Keystone XL pipeline. Even if a Republican wins in 2024 and re-approves the pipeline…a company would have to be mental to get involved in that CF again. They already wasted billions of dollars on the project and have cut their losses once. They’d be stupid to even consider starting it up again. Heck, any traditional energy project that would take long enough to last through the next election would be stupid to get involved with.
Of course, risk is part of the game so I guess the industry members know more about this stuff than I do. I just can’t imagine how the very likely risk of losing everything invested at the stroke of a pen is worth it.
Meanwhile, the treasonous Bidenista Bolsheviks are doing the exact same thing as Europe.
They are no longer leasing Federal land for drilling, just as our Satanic overlord promised.
The most important issue we are facing today is the destruction by The Government of our energy supplies.
Everything else depends on that. They tried to kill us with CVD but that didn’t work.
So they figured they have a better shot if they turn off the power, lights and heat, then starve us to death

She has done what Boris did not have the gonads to do.
With Charles on the throne it’s good to see there is a pragmatic leader in Britain, with some b@lls.
Brits need her at this time.
He will always be king tampon the first to me
but…..but…..but…..the climate…….LoL….LoL
Truss is part of the WEF. Of course who in power right now isn’t? My guess is this move is in response to the elections in Sweden and Italy etc, and that people are waking up too fast. Best to take a step back and lull the tired slave masses back to sleep before sticking a knife in their back when they are further along with a new bioweapon to release, decimate the farms further, install more 5G/CBDC systems and other devices to track/trace/control. That is their ultimate goal however they get their easiest is probably the plan.
You don’t think a solitary soul went through that WEF course with the idea in mind to see what it was all about? Maybe look for like minded individuals?
Joe Biden will have the USA freezing this winter and the the Brits and their “green energy boy king” will be doing the same.. REMEMBER the words of the outsider businessman DONALD TRUMP– a dangerous man smarter than all the heads of state and their” ” ponce green energy advisors” -The greenies wanted this to happen.. NEVER forget, NEVER Forgive this scum.
Strange how “leaders” think oil comes out of the ground ready to be delivered to your furnace..
Here’s the happy old England -GONE forever.
If the climate change cartel were really serious about it they would be hard at work developing alternative energy sources that able to provide the power that is needed now. Wind and solar will NEVER be sufficient to power the world and they know it. EV battery production is devastating to the environment as the elemental minerals needed are obtained by strip mining and that alone would be enough to nix them if the environmentalists were really concerned about the environment, all this before deciding what to do with the batteries after their useful life is over.
The climate change cartels interest is about power, the transfer of wealth and the reduction in the standard of living we have all become accustomed to. The end goal is no more people on the planet. I just wish they would set the example and rid us of their presence now.
Glad they are waking up. Now take all the climate terrorists and lock em up.
