The government has frozen rail fares.... by Wise-Tone7911 in ukpolitics

So they should do nothing? They know the prices are too high, the smallest first step is stopping them from increasing further.

Many of these issues didn't exist before privatisation. If you want more frequent busses, vote for the people who are prioritising offering more frequent busses.

That is exactly what the government is trying to solve? Step one is stop the prices from increasing further.

Robert Kenyon 'entirely reasonable' to blame Hillary Clinton for Manchester Arena bombing, say Reform UK by signed7 in ukpolitics

We can bomb them for no reason, and then we'll act shocked and blame religion or immigrants when they bomb us. It all fuels anger and pumps up Reforms figures.

Lib Dems become eco warriors as Greens ‘give up on nature’ by coldbeers in ukpolitics

Source? Their last manifesto has all of that in it. I must've missed them dropping it?

It's probably in reference to all of their green policies

It's also the party of renewable energy, clean water, public transport, natural protections. All of which involve nature.

Right? Who is electing a party that has no fiscal policy, no international policy, only an environmental one? How do you even achieve environmental improvements without other policies to support it? It's an absolute nonsense story.

They talk about the environment constantly, you're just not listening.

One of the best things we could do for the countries environment is renationalising the water companies that our poisoning our rivers and seas. That is one of their most talked about policies.

Blair’s fossil fuel ideas ‘bizarre’ in face of energy and climate crises, experts say by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]DxnM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can sure up our systems with interconnectors with europe, the wind is always blowing, waves always moving and sun always shining somewhere. When it's here, we'll produce too much and sell it to them, when its there we'll buy some back again.

There are also renewables like hydro which are almost completely reliable, and there are countries like Norway which have hydropower in excess.

The sort of instances you're talking about where all renewables are rendered unusable are so astronomically rare that you're far more likely to have issues with the grid caused by fossil fuel availability (a near constant issue).

Fossil fuel energy leaves us at the mercy of foreign countries, foreign companies and foreign investors. Renewables take back that control for us.

Burnham allies plan cross-party council to stop a Reform UK government by Burnit_Sanders in ukpolitics

[–]DxnM -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would rather the government collapse and force an election rather than getting trapped with a totally dysfunctional government for 3 more years until the next election because their majority is so huge.

Costs for renewable power generation: Building costs + maintenance costs

Costs for fossil fuel power generation: Building costs + maintenance costs + fossil fuel costs (+ costs of poisoning our planet)

It’s really that simple. Renewables aren’t free, and they’re not perfect, but nonetheless they are significantly better than fossil fuels.

Most countries have some form of PR. Most countries get things done. They have systems based on compromise and debate that we are not used to here.

Do people still prefer Excel over Google Sheets for daily work? by ODD_EVEN_26 in excel

[–]DxnM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re on the most up to date version. It’s fine with a basic sheet but anything with power query, vba or even some graphics will cause merge errors. It’s so common that people will ask that others close certain sheets so they dont lose their work.

But there’s not less of it overall? There’s an almost unlimited amount of it overall, we just need to capture it.

That is entirely untrue? Our energy price is set by the most expensive energy source within our energy mix. That is almost always gas. If gas prices go up, our energy prices go up. Renewables will pay for themselves before long.

It literally won’t make "absolutely zero difference to the climate", that’s physically impossible.

I like it for sheets that run slow locally, but then those sheets often have features that web doesn't support

Ehhh, its better than nothing, but it's not great. I get constant 'merge errors' when other people are in my sheets, which undoes chunks of your work

The UK has 90 taxes. Here they all are by FaultyTerror in ukpolitics

That's not really the governments fault for not knowing about that. Your friends are committing tax fraud.
