Gent in yellow, "I'm an engineer, a scientist by background, and what I really care about is energy"
"And that's one of these things which I feel has been turned into a culture war"
"So let me say one thing"
"We know that heat pumps, insulation, EVs, etc can save half your energy usage"
"It's a massive difference"
"And Iran, while, and this is not just about climate change, we can use as a strategic reserve"
"We can use that oil for aviation or AI data centres"
"But we've got politicians here on the table today, I believe, who deny these facts"
"And why should we platform you when we can save that money? The energy. The money"
"And this also means that we're not paying the oil money to Russia, which uses it to strike Ukraine every day, and we pay again for defence missiles"
"So it's a very serious question. And this is the science, this is the fact. You cannot say that that does not save half the energy."

When the Manchester Guardian calls, the people of the North heed the call. And if those people are me, we inject Manchester Liberalism, even from across the Pennines, right back in to the paper of Northern record. Get your fill. https://t.co/F56lhQKtGi
£2.5 billion capital funding is a drop in the ocean for a scheme that would pay for itself in no time through increased economic activity driven by improved labour mobility.
This is a bad decision made for the wrong reasons by weak people who don’t deserve the power they wield.
