  1. Yes it has. Anything in this video is completely irrelevant or contributory next to the insane and illogical, irational refusal to go for Nuclear, even after environmentalists themselves went on record to say this is our best bet for the near future.

    Strategically they are much safer than they was, and give us tons of time to research methods of better renewable energy technology that can actually sustain us and the environment. Its stuff like this that makes this climate crisis nonsense, nonsense.

    Because the solutions are literally right there, and they would rather ignore these, in favor of taking private jets everywhere to talk about it. Instead.

  2. The UK has vast quantities of its own fuel resources (such as coal and frackable gas); however, we would rather import these fuels than exploit our own, which makes us very vulnerable to fluctuations in global prices and the political driven actions of states that intentionally limit/disrupt supply. This drive for net zero has driven our massive dependence on imported energy and we are now reaping the obvious consequences of this lack of energy security.

  3. Now let’s take into consideration the amount of fossil fuel required to create these solar panels and wind generators. The next concept to consider is the waste disposal of these alternatives. They can’t just be put into a landfill.

  4. the graph shows china was buying more gas in 2018/19 AND that the difference between coal and gas was larger then than now!
    WHY is china being blamed for increasing the global gas prices? WHY are suppliers finding it hard to outflow the same amounts as they were pre-pandemic? i dont trust ANY of these 'reasons' for higher prices

  5. A much better than average presentation from the climate show. We need to continue producing our own gas from the north sea until nuclear and other alternatives _are in place_. If we do not, as the presenter says, the energy crisis in the next few years will be greater than the present one.
