Starmer claiming the UK will become an AI superpower when it has the most expensive electricity in the world is a crushing indictment of the incompetence of his government.
Low cost power is now the limiting factor for AI progress, which is why the Big 5 US tech companies are adding their own power capacity so fast they’ll have more than the UK within 7 years.
Meanwhile Starmer has Mad Ed sabotaging the future of the British people with more net zero madness.
These clowns must be removed asap.
We need an industrial policy for the new age, delivered by people with real expertise.
That’s what Reform will deliver.
“And get the money from where?” Victoria Derbyshire asked Jeremy Clarkson after he implored the government to back down on farmers’ inheritance tax.
Here are some ideas for what could be cut instead 💡

@john_mcguirk Which is exactly what Ireland should do and move away from ideology, to ensure a pragmatic transition is adopted, along with developing indigenous resources, that achieve viable energy security.
@gavinjdaly @Adpower91 @HopefulEgalita1@CorkGreens You need to study harder, as Barryroe was anything but “speculative fiction”..

Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications Mr. Eamon Ryan recently announced doubling our climate finance fund to €225 million next year. We in Farmers Alliance believe that money would be better spent in Ireland.
Ireland contributes to less than 0.01% of global emissions. We feel this is very minuscule in comparison to other countries like China with global emissions near 31%, USA near 14%, and India over 7%. In fact Ireland is not even in the top 20 countries for high global emissions.
Ireland is punching above its weight contributing that amount of money when we are at the bottom of the list of global emitters. We believe that money should be spent to establish our own energy security in Ireland, which in turn will reduce our carbon footprint even further instead of importing energy from other countries. We should become self sufficient in energy.
Barryroe in West Cork is an undeveloped oil and gas field in the Atlantic ocean due south of county Cork reported to have over 300 million barrels of oil. Our Mininster Eamon Ryan refused to grant a licence for the exploration of this oil field, instead he prefers to throw away our money to other countries while Ireland is falling apart. A Farmers Alliance spokesperson from West Cork who knows the Barryroe area well understands the potential this oil field has to offer, not only for the people of West Cork, but for our country to have energy security. “Extracting oil here in Ireland rather than the UK or any other country will at least remove the carbon footprint associated with the importing of fossil fuels”.
According to Helen O Sullivan “This will create huge employment for Barryroe and the surrounding areas while providing us with a secure energy source. Wind energy is not reliable, we only have to look at 2021 when Moneypoint Power Station had to be fired up as there was not enough wind for the turbines to function. This is not a reliable source of energy”. She went on to say “we need to look at fossil fuels, we cannot survive without it. We need to feed a rising global population, fuel vehicles and industry that is needed to keep this globe functioning. Relying solely on wind energy will not be sufficient.”
Ireland consumes around 50 million barrels of oil per year, Barryroe would help Irelands energy crisis but our Minister for the Environment Mr Eamon Ryan refuses to grant a license to make this happen. His green ideology is 'let’s just import everything into this country to make Ireland look green'. This is contributing to more global warming by not using our own resources! Apparently it is green to transport two shiploads of wood chip from Brazil, along with peat from Latvia, briquettes from Germany, etc.
Ireland is underestimated when it comes to energy security. We can do so much more if our government had the political will to do so. Excluding the Celtic Sea that includes the Barryroe field, the Atlantic alone is estimated to contain the potential equivalent of around 10 billion barrels of oil. This is spilt between 6.5 billion barrels of oil and 20 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This would provide Ireland with around 130 years of Irish sourced oil and 108 years of Irish sourced gas. “It is not rocket science what Ireland needs to do to secure energy for its country and become less reliant on imports of gas and oil” according to the Farmers Alliance spokesperson.
#Ireland's looming #EnergyCrisis is no closer to being resolved 15 months on from our first video on the topic
We discuss Barryroe, LNG, greenhouse gas emissions & hydrogen
Is it too late for domestic #OilandGas to help the #EnergyTransition in Ireland?

The future of SEL 1/11 all but now sits with LG & Vevan, a very interesting development for #LOGP, albeit extremely disappointing for #BEY shareholders, confirmation hearing is set for November 3rd, what now lies ahead for one of Ireland’s most significant indigenous O&G assets?
@mozEIGHT There was progress with the Barryroe examinership yesterday in Dublin, the creditors voting to approve the scheme of arrangement, I would not rule out Vevan & #LOGP combining their forces, with a challenge to the Irish Government, potentially with a High Court ruling next week.
@SeanKellyMEP Seán, you also need to focus on the reason ABP have cited to justify their decision, you and your FG colleagues are facilitating a minority with extreme ideology to influence and control decisions of national importance, history will not view your lack of fortitude well.
Good to note a viable plan to move forward is close to being secured, for the Lansdowne read across, note the reference to Exola DAC as the companies main asset #LOGP#Barryroe#Energysecurity
“The state could take a big financial hit if it lost a court case to Barryroe Offshore Energy, Minister for Environment Eamon Ryan was warned by officials before he signed off on a decision not to renew its licence to prospect for oil off the Cork coast.” #LOGP#Barryroe#BEY
One for #LOGP to take note of, a wider landscape of legal representation, with the support of LG’s heavy weights certainly adds an interesting dimension.
Initiation of Arbitration - 07:00:02 28 Jun 2023 - #LOGP News article - Not for the faint hearted, but a number of us, will not take this ridiculous decision without substantial representation, the next phase of the Barryroe journey begins. #energysecurity https://t.co/zCXcINUR8V
