Did you only read the first 4 paragraphs then? When I said "in depth" I was warning of a quite lengthy read if you can get past phrases that irritate. I thought it genuinely interesting to the very end and as I said, pretty well balanced. The issues discussed will affect you more directly than many of us I would think, although the wider impact affects us all one way or another.

That wasn’t directed at yourself, the article was ok as far as a Guardian article on oil and gas ever can be. My own personal opinion is the whole UK sector N Sea Oil and Gas industry and opportunities have been catastrophically mismanaged from the very first day and still is now.

Hard to disagree.

Do you agree the transition has to happen at some point? Even if you ignore net zero issues we will run out eventually, they don't make that stuff anymore. Sunlight, wind, tides, green hydrogen should all be available for a long long time, providing energy and jobs for as long as there are people probably.

Horses, wind,coal , steam, oil, nuclear etc etc of course there is always change and progress but most definitely not at the level and pace some lunatics are demanding or when it literally hobbles you as an individual or nation. We just don’t have the technology etc in place. Oil will be required and around long after everyone who is on here today is in the ground.

I simply don't understand why we ever even stopped hunting whales for the precious spermaceti they produce. It lit our homes, it is a renewable resource, it provided jobs for thousands of hard-working families, not that the wig-wearing aristocrats in their ivory towers would know anything about that (and don't even get me started on ivory... another renewable resource!), and we, as an island nation, have a rich history of harvesting the bounty of the seas. My family in particular go back generations in the whaling game, so I have an in-depth and unbiased wealth of knowledge on the subject.

 

All these bloody retards saying that we are just going to run out of whales are off their bloody rockers, have you even seen how much ocean there is out there? It's bloody massive! We could never run out!

 

This newfangled idea of electrification and these bloody stupid incandescent light bulbs are just a flash in the pan, a phase, a fleeting trend. It'll all be gone in a few years and all the sensible, pragmatic, common-sense-led people will realise that whale oil is the only realistic method we've got available to us for lighting our homes.

I’m aware of what it is, I work with enough Noggies to understand how it works.
