Summary

Donald Trump criticized the U.K.'s renewable energy focus, calling to “open up” North Sea oil production and abandon wind turbines.

His comments followed reports of declining North Sea oil production and U.S. company Apache’s planned exit by 2029.

Oil firms have reduced investments due to higher taxes and declining resources, while the U.K. aims to decarbonize its energy sector by 2030, expanding offshore wind power.

However, the offshore wind industry faces financial challenges, including rising costs and reduced investments, prompting debates on balancing energy security and green transition goals.

        Sadly, I doubt anyone will get to use it any time soon. His faithful are our contemporaries and they won’t let that happen.

          Its far easier to wait to piss on something than it is to guard it valiantly 24/7. We will make him America’s Margaret Thatcher.

        Any grave is a gender neutral bathroom if you want it to be.

      Party on day 1

      Day 2 travel to pay my respects by drinking all the soda and refilling the bottles with my piss.

      On the 3rd day, go to the grave and dump all the piss I have accumulated and leave a fresh shit too

    Senile lunatic tilts at windmills (though in a much less entertaining way than the original).

      I read Don Quixote like 4 years ago and it was an amazing experience…laughed out loud multiple times and only one other book by George Carlin (his autobiography i believe) had done that to me although Stephen Colbert’s I am America and so can you almost had me there.

    I started watching last time he got in with a kind of amused schadenfreude, mistakenly thinking that while he was obviously going to be a disaster for the US, he might be less terrible than Hillary for the rest of us.

    When he was replaced by a grown-up, I breathed a sigh of relief - I’d not realised how mentally taxing it is to have someone so quixotic and deranged in that position, even from a continent away. This time he’s not even in office yet, and I’m already over the tension that his deranged little outbursts instil in me. Seeing his (and Elon’s) attention focus more over here is unnerving too, neither of them should be making decisions that affect anyone else, let alone in another country!

      Oh man, just wait.

      I dunno how closely you follow US politics, but Trump was largely reigned in by his cabinet and the rest of the party/govt the first time around.

      That is not the case anymore. All he has is people egging him on, and he will follow up on outbursts more frequently.

    If you do the opposite of whatever Trump says you should do, you can’t go far wrong.

    I’m sure Farage will order the demolition of the wind turbines on day one of his Musk-ordained premiership
