^ indeed.
the uk probably has enough energy under its land and seas for 50 years. coal, oil, fracking for gas etc.
but no, thanks to the power and influence of the minority pink haired carpet munchers, the man-bunned simpletons, and the lgbt hamas vegan slavery blm eco warrior, we cant use what's under our feet and so we ship timber from the usa and canada, gas from europe, all piped or shipped over at great expense, to burn in our power stations.
its fucking insane. but thats what our socialists want, and they are in power at the moment.
our electricity is the most expensive in the world, thanks to that and the green taxes added on. making our industry uncompetitive and our homes ridiculously expensive to heat.
why we dont use our own oil, gas etc. is beyond me.
