@KathrynPorter26@AlistairCarns As a dyed in the wool Tory I have little faith in a Labour govt.
However, I believe that Starmer has an unenviable position & is making the best of a bad lot.
Comms could be better but the alternatives (Burnham & the left) are much worse.
@truemagic68 It may raise $75 bn but what will the share price be next week, next month, next yearโฆ..
I have some exposure through SMT & EWI. Iโm happy to let them ride the wave but definitely not investing directly.
Volatility expectationsโฆ.
@indyscot12@JamesMelville@X_Sticks_Real Do you think someone sprinkles fairy dust and infrastructure appears from nowhere?
You produce energy a long way from the market, you need to transfer it.
Itโs not rocket science my friend.
@_Cyaak@Prae54Rae@AScot94175440 Have they? Have they really? Iโm sure youโre going to be able to post links to the companies (plural) that have โsaid the oppositeโ.
Iโm being kind and ignoring your appalling punctuation.
Goโฆโฆ
@FireflyBiilym@Prae54Rae@AScot94175440 Energy production mix varies widely across Europe.
France has significant nuclear. The sun shines in Spain. Norway has hydro etc etc.
Devolved powers or independence wouldnโt change the Scottish production / distribution landscape.
But you already know this.
@Prae54Rae@AScot94175440 Itโs not Scotlandโs energy though, is it?
Itโs entirely owned by multinationals.
Neither devolved power or independence changes any of that.
@JamesMelville@antianti69@CllrMacDougall Consume 20% of Scotlandโs entire energy supply?
Iโve heard some hysterical bollocks in my time but that takes the biscuit.
@NaeComment@MrsBr0wn_82 Thanks for stopping by with that well researched and articulate rebuttal.
The quality of information is essential reading.
Keep up the good work.
@jackiekemp Oh dear, McCrone report rears its ugly head again.
The same report that was debated in parliament & widely reported in local & national media.
Despite this, the SNP managed to lose 9 of their 11 MPs in 1979.
Woeful then & woeful now.
@Snowy273 Because his assets are frozen, he qualifies for legal aid. Unfortunately, legal aid canโt be clawed back from unfrozen assets.
Iโve read that he has pensions tucked away that heโll use to pay back the ยฃ400k. Plus proceeds of house sale etc.
@LeftHandedDave@Political_AlanS Or, it was never intended to be held for a specific purpose as donors were lead to believe & was simply cash for day to day spending.
So, was this money raised fraudulently?
Swinney should stop talking!
@hipcounsel13@JamesMelville@thirlestane597@Ed_Miliband Data centres are moving to air cooled / closed loop chillers so water consumption is massively reduced.
Energy consumption can impact locally depending on infrastructure but worldwide is a drop in the ocean.

@euanmccolm Swinney wants us to believe that heโs been a party member since 1979, served as finance cabinet secretary, depute FM etc etc and had absolutely no idea about the internal machinations of the party?
Heโs looking more foolish every time he opens his mouth
