Gas shortage UK

Obama! Look past his plan, which you don't have to like, and give him some credit for having the mettle to say what he said, when he said it.

[The Natural Philosopher]

The only way to tell is to look at the spot prices. European<->uk flows tend to be from Europe when its cheap and to Europe when its expensive.

Because we have capacity, but its expensive gas capacity compared with French nuclear, German and polish coal or scandinavian hydro.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Well I worked out how to do it by pumping out loch Ness and letting the sea refill it via some turbines. I reckon you could store almost a weeks worth .

Utterly destroy the ecosystem of course, and cost more than totally equipping the UK with nukes instead, but hey, its all green energy innit?

[The Natural Philosopher]

Nothing sucks like Electrolux...

[The Natural Philosopher]

Well those are irrelevant. The idea of the renewables programme is to get all private wealth into the hands of a few extremely powerful people who are actually government - as opposed to the zombies in parliament

[The Natural Philosopher]

"Renewables" depend on fossil fuels and cannot work without them. What's *your* plan?

[Commander Kinsey]

I should have said caravanning. Or camping where you take your car to the campsite.

A canoe is heavy enough.

[Commander Kinsey]

He's left wing, so I pay no attention. He steals from the rich to pay the poor.

"State of Fear" by Michael Crichton is a must read. Drove the greenies nuts.

[Commander Kinsey]

Not since we fell out with Russia.

[Commander Kinsey]

It's amazing, the same treehuggers who don't want coal get all upset when we make damns or install "noisy" wind turbines that stupid birds fly into.

[Commander Kinsey]

I can remember this ad:

This one is funnier though: I can't find the one where the hoovers are holding up a plate or fighting over it or something.

[Commander Kinsey]

It took the oil companies a while to realise that.

[Commander Kinsey]

Where did you get that tremendously stupid idea from?

[The Genetically Unmodified Paul Pot "(Still" a natural human being as God "created]

Think God as nature, not something you dreamt up to justify your synthetic existential morality.

[Commander Kinsey]

No, god is what we believe in when we're 6, like the tooth fairy and santa claus. I believe in what I see with my own two eyes.

You do realise religion is created by the powerful people you despise? It's a means of control.

[The Genetically Unmodified Paul Pot "(Still" a natural human being as God "created]

You lie to yourself, regularly.

[Frank]

Obama became filthy rich while in office. You get what you pay for.

[Commander Kinsey]

Yes, I have lied about the physical location of Belgium. WTF?

[Commander Kinsey]

Kafir.
