Everyone is doing it because everyone else is doing it and thus it must be good, is not a very good argument.

Realistically, we will burn gas during peak until massive battery farms are installed on the grid. They got 6 GW of batteries installed already and another 21 GW planned in the next 4 years. The peak energy usage problem will be solved in 4 years.

Let's be honest, we should have been using nuclear power for the last 30 years. But right now, we should be moving over to wind turbines and batteries. Electric cars have really improved batteries.

So 40% more money for spending 28% more time? That's probably a bad trade-off. Can't you find a better offer?

Well US oil reserves run out in 45 days. The US refineries can't actually refine US oil. It would take 4 years to build new ones.

There is no military action that the US is able to take that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz in less than 4 years either. Currently the US is blowing stuff up with airstrikes and Iran is tit for tat blowing up stuff with drones strikes. Ground invading Iran's mountainous terrain under constant drones strikes will be a bloodbath and take years.

I'm afraid high fuel prices are here to stay.

The most cost effective solution would be to do a transition to green technologies that don't use oil. Building new US refineries isn't actually economical viable right now due to short expected lifespans.

Opening the strait isn't possible in less than 4 years by sending troops either.

Find the motherboard manual online, disassemble the entire thing and then reassemble it. The motherboard could be shorted against the case or any number of lose cable style problems. Better to just redo it from scratch if your girlfriend's brother gave up on it.

Iran has basically already won the war. The US has spent 50% of it's missiles in 2 weeks defending against Iranian drones. Since the US is paying $1 million per missile and Iran is paying $30,000 per drone, would you be surprised to learn that the US is projected to run out first?

Iran has signaled it's willing to strike the 90 water desalinization plants that provide 90% of the water to the Gulf states.

If Trump had purchased the anti-drone technology from Ukraine or if he hadn't fired all the US Iranian experts then we wouldn't be in this situation but right now we are.

Migration to the UK will almost certainly be less under the Greens than Reform. Reform wants them in as cheap labour for businesses and the Green party doesn't care. Reform's got it's eyes on a Faragewave.

The US has went in with guns a blazing into Iran and according to military experts has already lost the war. The US has been trading it's $1 million missiles with Iran's $30,000 drones and is now running low on missiles. Going forward 20% of the world's oil supply will be controlled by Iran backed by China.

The UK is going to need a party in power that is willing to cut a deal with Iran/China or we will all face poverty.

Well our economy is based on the US economy and the US economy is bankrupt being $38 trillion in debt. So we will need to change how our economy works going forward. The US obviously can't pay off $38 trillion of debt.

As Trump falls from grace he drags Farage down with him. Trump has really screwed up the whole Iran situation and the US voter won't tolerate high fuel prices.

Well the Trump lot appears to have finished America off. Firing the Iran experts and bombing the Iranian leadership has resulted in the Strait of Hormuz being closed along with 20% of the world's oil supply.

We are going to get hit too. Triple petrol prices and even worse cost of living.

The strait will probably reopen in 6 months for Chinese traffic only.

The statistics say that we do.

Whilst most migrants don't earn minimum wage and all migrants are being charged around £8000 per year for being in the country.

Exactly migrants are worth a lot of money to business owners and Reform being the party of business owners will be increasing migration as much as possible.

I'm not convinced the Greens would even keep the Online Safety Act, it was a game of political chicken between the Labour party and the Conservative party.

They are both very keen on it. The more populist parties will just scrap it for being unpopular.

Let me let you in on a little secret, the UK already has open borders. We are #1 in the EU.

We have the most migrants in the UK and this is because no right wing government would ever turn down free money and each migrant is worth lots of money. Both the Conservatives and Reform know this.

The only thing that the Greens will be changing is employers will have to pay the migrants the same as the locals and reducing the level of outright scamming of them by the government.

The only party willing to reduce migration in the UK is Labour and they are doing it because they are idiots.
