I didnt say there was a shadow banking industry, in fact I said the opposite.

Completely missed my point.

There is something going on though right?

There absolutely must be Zionist Jews in influential positions in American and probably the UK who have the interest of Israel above the interest of their country. There is loads of funding for pro Israel groups.

The whole antisemitic propaganda thrown at Labour is real questionable.

Pro Israel groups have been caught rewriting history on Wikipedia.

Without being able to talk about it how do we know what's real and what's a conspiracy?

Like just talking about things that are true isn't wrong. The whole banking system is too much. But what is right?

I low key believe gen Z would be better than millennials and gen X (age excluded here). They like going to the gym and eating well so they would be better shape than the crop from 10+ years ago and they would enjoy the training. They all got social anxiety and don't know how to act in public which means they would enjoy being told what to do all the time. They got a headstart by playing shooter games for 18 years. They will be good all the lingo and codes because it would just be a new form of memes for them. They all about maxxing this shit and maxxing that shit and self help so when their dopamine and hormones levels drop from their social media shit to war levels that will be an improvement for them so they will like it. There is no sense of community anywhere so the army will be the closest thing that have so any natural form of life.

Sounds like 23andme did you a solid.

You have a lot of reasons to by them and it's absolutely a good purchase. A man needs shoes so get them.

It's not a treat in anyway, but "treat" yourself and enjoy the purchase without concern. I've spent that much on beer in a night and forgotten it because I was pissed. Don't feel bad about this.

I watched Ed Stafford (first man to walk the length of the amazon) survive on a uninhabited Fijian island for about a month. He picked up a toothbrush, multiple bottles, a metal can, rope/netting and a rugby ball. That was just the useful stuff.

There shit on that beach in NK I'm certain.

No. He sounds like a tool and all.

What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?

Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn't be in a worse place.

They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.

At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.

This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.

I'm like how these high mileage vehicles are turning electric.

Been noticing more electric buses, Tesla's as taxis, wv ID buzz as trademans vans, and delivery vans being electric. Great places to start.

This country needs fucking land reforms. Gigantic ones.

Land inherited from William the Conqueror's mates, absolutely not. Low density housing on hugely expensive land, no. Land Value tax the cunts. Any new railway station or any old railways station only high density housing/offices/ commercial can be built.

Government need massive buying to lay new railways and for above projects if LVT doesn't work. Don't like it? Get fucked.

Two way roads in city centre and no cycle paths fuck it. Close them make it all one way infrastructure and put cycling in. Every city, town center, railways station and bus station has to have secure bike parking. We need some more undergrounds outside London (need above density). Railways that don't go to London need to be built, again density is needed.

None of this will happen. We need voting reform first.

But I swear to God, if I had to bet on it I'm betting on artificial super intelligence controlling the country as the most likely way that any decent land reform gets done.

This country sucks and it's because of the cunts in it that only care about themselves.

 

"China could be on its way to becoming the world’s first major “electrostate”, with its electrification rate climbing to 30 per cent, ahead of the EU and US where electricity as a final share of energy has plateaued at about 22 per cent in recent years."

 

"The Texas Senate passed a bill Thursday that leading business interests fear would lead to an age of expensive power and rolling blackouts.

If passed by the House, state S.B. 715 would require all renewable projects — even existing ones — to buy backup power, largely from coal or gas plants.

This would require solar plants in particular to buy backup power to “match their output at night — a time when no one expects them to produce energy and when demand is typically at its lowest anyway,” consultant and energy expert Doug Lewin wrote in an April analysis"

 

"Crude oil futures settled lower on the week as the market eyed a potential for rising global supply amid signs of internal OPEC+ tensions.

Prompt-dated June WTI settled at $63.02/b April 25, a gain of 23 cents on the day but down $1.66/b from the April 17 close. Front-month ICE Brent ended the April 25 session up 32 cents at $66.87/b but still down $1.09/b from its week-ago level.

Selling pressure emerged midweek after Kazakh Energy Minister Erlan Akkenzhenov on April 23 roiled crude markets when he said Kazakhstan would pursue its own "national interests" when determining production levels, raising doubts about the country's commitment to fulfilling output cuts as part of the OPEC+ producer group"

 

"Key Points

  • Alphabet reported Thursday that Waymo, its autonomous vehicle unit, is now delivering more than 250,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in the U.S.
  • That figure is up from 200,000 in February, before Waymo opened in Austin and expanded in the San Francisco Bay Area in March.
  • Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said Waymo is building partnerships with ride-hailing app Uber, automakers and operations and maintenance businesses that tend to its vehicle fleets."
 

"Pakistan isn’t the first country you’d expect to crash the global solar party. But by the end of 2024, it quietly rocketed into the top tier of solar adopters, importing a jaw-dropping 22 gigawatts worth of solar panels in a single year. That’s not a typo or a spreadsheet rounding error. That’s the kind of number that turns heads at IEA meetings and makes policy analysts double-check their databases. It certainly made me sit up and take notice when I first heard about what was happening in mid-2024.

It’s more solar than Canada has installed in total. It’s more than the UK added in the past five years. And yet it didn’t make a blip in most Western media."

 

"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

 

Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities. 

Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.

 
 

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."
