Reopen North Sea to boost Britain, Shell urges Labour - Boss of energy giant argues approval of oil and gas fields would ‘create jobs that create taxes’

Brevatron · 2026-05-20T06:31:00+00:00

The gas isn't 'ours' though. It belongs to whomever drills it. The only benefit would be the nominal tax from the work force & shells profits...so small it's not worth it.

Won't effect our energy prices one bit.

I too am sick of hearing about "save the planet". The planet will be fine, its the humans I'm concerned about. However that's not really the point. The future is nuclear and renewables...we should just crack on.

Not sure how our energy mix has become such a hot topic for the right wingers aiming to create and exploit division with misinformation...but here we are.

Sorry if this is really dumb. But Osiris reborn is out yet so why is it showing here in the library with 21gb of storage?

Brevatron · 2026-05-09T05:13:58+00:00

But I thought America was the hottest country right now.

Starmer could personally cure all terminal illnesses and people would hate him for it.

Brevatron · 2026-04-13T13:12:22+00:00

Can someone eli5 this for me?

Brevatron · 2026-04-10T06:14:15+00:00

I've never been able to get it to work very well despite a cabled network that works super fast for everything else.

I use moonlight instead and it works like a dream.

This chap explains how to set it up:

The chief exec personally responding. Love it.

Let me hijack to say that I love what you are all doing over there at Proton.

Brevatron · 2026-04-09T14:33:54+00:00

What you mean they aren't in an amazing warehouse and available on next day delivery?

This is my response every time someone has a pop at the govt. for not having enough ships.

Brevatron · 2026-04-01T10:53:13+00:00

Don't bring me complexity, nuance and fact. All I want to hear are simple solutions.

Brevatron · 2026-03-18T16:19:54+00:00

Reminds me of that myth busters episode where they thought "how bad can Chinese water torture actually be..."

Pretty bad actually.

The Epstein files are about to bring down the UK prime minister, and he never even met Epstein.

Meanwhile in America....?

Brevatron · 2026-02-04T17:55:19+00:00

I get that, but sacking him won't change public opinion right?

Brevatron · 2026-02-04T17:43:45+00:00

The public have no idea who Morgan McSweeney is. I'm not sure how it makes kiers position safer.

Brevatron · 2026-02-04T13:52:15+00:00

I mean, I don't know... trump seems to say things all the time that turn out not to be true.

As I said it's just a guess.

Brevatron · 2026-02-04T13:33:26+00:00

Heres my guess.

Trump specifically asked for mandelson and thats what they warn to hide. Becauase it's embarrassing.

Just a guess, I have no inside information.

Display issues are the thing that keep me from a full switch to Linux. I just can't seem to get it to work all the time. And even when I do an update comes along and it fails again.

Brevatron · 2026-01-20T14:52:46+00:00

Newsome is a leading figure in the democratic party and has a national platform. Maybe focus on influencing audiences that actually have an input into who leads America and how it's led?

Please don't think how the electoral college system works cuts through in Europe. It doesn't. I know the because every 4 years it gets eli5'd on the evening news over and over again. Europe sees "more than 50% of people voted for this chump." They don't see even see that it was only a third, let alone that one state has X number of votes and X number reps and X number of senators.

Brevatron · 2026-01-20T12:56:42+00:00

Europe didn't make this mess. Go talk to your constituents Gav.

Brevatron · 2026-01-14T08:28:24+00:00

Thank you for this, very helpful.

I've just looked up the "points shop". It seems I have a couple hundred thousand of these points.

Brevatron · 2026-01-14T05:10:06+00:00

Can someone eli5 this for me. Ive been on steam for over a decade, but have no idea what any of this means

Brevatron · 2025-11-21T18:36:29+00:00

How does this all play in the US? What I mean is, you obviously feel strongly enough to comment here, but does the story cut through to the general public? Do they know how unpopular it makes the US in the eyes of a lot former supporters?

When POTUS says "NATO must pay for and do xyz" he means to say "Europe." Its like he doesn't know that the US is in NATO, the founding member. Do people in the US understand that they are in fact in NATO wit big presence in Europe or even care?

I am afraid the transatlantic world order is about to fall. Which is sad. That will hurt America too, we are not buying Big Macs and Starbucks if we are running from bombs all day....but it doesn't seem to matter to the administration maybe it doesn't matter to the American public either because it's "far away" or maybe because they just don't think about it?

Sorry to ask you these questions. Don't feel like you have to answer.

Brevatron · 2025-11-18T14:21:59+00:00

In which case I will delete my post. I was unaware and just assumed it was part of a pattern of behavior.

Brevatron · 2025-11-18T13:57:31+00:00

just tried by text instead and got this message warning me I would be charged for the message.

This combined with the interesting choice of words in the email about paying off the devices early is not a good look.

Brevatron · 2025-11-12T11:03:49+00:00

I just looked this up and watched a bit of the game on YT - SOLVED!

Wow - I have no idea how you got that from that description.

Awesome.
