Dalal.Holdings Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Not to worry, Brussels will provide a "massive" 20B EUR to build AI datacenters--what META spends in 2 months on Capex now...Lol https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-accused-wasting-20-billion-euro-ai-computing-dreams/ All dreamed up by Ursula. The AI center will need to be GDPR and AI Act compliant and totally carbon neutral of course ! I'm sure the centrally planned AI hubs will be successful like all of the EU's plans !
Dalal.Holdings Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Norway going to drill more in the North Sea and then sell the gas to the UK and Germany. LMAO… Some nations like Norway approach the world strategically while others like Germany and the UK do the opposite. It’s no wonder why Norway is prospering while the other two are mired in stagnation. I do love the total irony of politicians from the UK and Germany giving advice and commentary on how other countries like the U.S. should operate given their own self inflicted stagnation…

We are a joke country.

They can’t do basic carbon balance sheet accounting. The reductions in carbon in the UK have been dwarfed by increases elsewhere. Heavy industry doesn’t stop, it just goes somewhere else, oil and gas will be extracted, just by other countries. 7 hours ago, cubsfan said: I'm confident people like you @Sweet will save the UK.

It’s funny to watch many of them over time move closer to my political positions. However, I’m not very optimistic. I don’t think the U.K. will mount a turnaround.

Yes this is true: there are a lot of crazed lefty ideologues in power not just in the UK but across Europe. Brussels Crew/EU is their headquarters. These people think they are smarter than everyone else because they became brainwashed by dogma in years of schooling and they have the fancy degrees to show it... The question is what is going to change this? I think it's going to be political upheaval since these idiots in charge don't learn from their own mistakes.
Dalal.Holdings Posted May 22 Posted May 22 A lot of the UK's energy woes can be blamed on the monarchy--what do you expect from an aristocratic class of people who live off generational trust funds (really massive welfare from their country) and have never had to really work a day in their lives ? https://newsletter.doomberg.com/p/contrarian-indicators Quote “My Ministers believe that energy independence must be a long-term goal of national security and that the nation’s energy security requires long-term investment and reform, as demonstrated by recent events in the Middle East. Increased production of clean British energy will help to ensure that enemies of the United Kingdom cannot attack the economic security of the British people. My Ministers will therefore introduce an Energy Independence Bill to scale-up homegrown renewable energy and protect living standards for the long-term.” Quote Briefing documents released with the speech’s transcript make clear that new licenses to explore the North Sea would be made illegal and fracking would be permanently banned. Quote “BP Plc is considering potentially exiting part or all of its operations in the UK North Sea, people familiar with the matter said, as the oil giant works to strip assets and pay down debt. London-listed BP is conducting an internal review of its upstream operations in the UK, which could fetch about £2 billion ($2.7 billion) in a full divestment, according to the people… The company is among the last remaining oil majors operating in the UK North Sea, with peers such as Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips having sold assets. Others like Shell Plc, Exxon Mobil Corp. and TotalEnergies SE have moved to divest or restructure parts of their positions, including through joint ventures.” The monarchy is clueless and ordinary citizens will pay as a result...well hey, good for Norway...who knows, maybe one day they can buy the British Monarchy or the entire UK outright... I think any heavy industry in the UK is uninvestable until proven otherwise.
Dalal.Holdings Posted May 23 Posted May 23 https://www.wsj.com/opinion/german-autos-climate-mandates-regulations-abdc041d Has the WSJ Editorial Board been reading this thread? Quote If the road to economic hell is paved with good intentions, don’t expect to see many German cars driving on it. Green mandates and other regulations are killing jobs in the long-revered German auto industry, as a new report from an industry association warns. Quote The broader problem is an uncompetitive business environment. “High taxes and levies, expensive energy, high labor costs, excessive bureaucracy—the list of challenges goes on,” the report says.
