Mick,

The EU has schemes for poor countries that join it; we may need their help by 2035?

Peter's words need to be repeated every day until these gas lighting XXXXs are out of office.

Bravo

Is this bat 5h!t crazy? "One of the many Dutch supreme courts just issued a ruling that existing houses can no longer be insulated, unless you first do a multi-year survey to rule out if this would harm bats possibly living in your walls."

"Great to see plenty of #copper just from the dozer clearing a path for the rig which is now on site and preparing to drill."

Open cast mining is much cheaper...

This will please most

Jake must be very lonely; he could not even resist waiting until he thought Admin had gone home to open a new trolling account.

A bit sad...

A more realistic subject line... Good luck selling £10ks worth.

"vast..." This sounds a bit risky:

'As announced on 17 July 2023 the Company has received initial positive results from Phase 1 of an extensive exploration programme which has confirmed the potential to extend the mining area and establish a revised JORC compliant Mineral Resource and in due course an Ore Reserve for its licence renewal in August 2024.'

What happens if the Romanians do not renew the license? A mine with a license for 13 [unlucky for some?] months seems a risky proposition. 5h!t stirrers will no doubt [rightly so?] create fear if the deadline draws close without clarity.

UK is AA-; 2 notches lower.

Jake Smith, due to make a statement about the indictment at 11pm. Might be live on the news channels; will be on the YouTube link I posted a little while ago.

Blue,

Yes; we do need O&G and I support getting as much as we can out of the North Sea as possible. But, my support comes with caveats.

Firstly, it needs to be extracted by a company that keeps the profits in the UK, as there is a dire balance of payments problem. Secondly; the myth that UK O&G is less polluting needs to be exposed again and again; O&G sourced from Norway has a smaller environmental footprint than existing UK based supplies.

It is why I posted that Sunak should have encouraged the already approved fields to be expedited whilst permitting onshore wing, improving the Grid and encouraging battery research. Putting in policies for red meat politics just damages UK Plc for short term political gain [and the gains will have evaporated by the end of the summer recess.

Do we really want Rees-Frog in charge of climate policies...

The PM has made a big public song and dance about new licenses in the North Sea whilst making misleading statements that the media has been quick to pull apart. He loses a 7000 seat majority in Uxbridge and the far right of his party convince him to think that he has found the holy grail to beat Labour and save their seats.

Yes, you can make an economic argument that we need to save the forex / generate more forex by selling the energy onto international markets. He should have speeded up / encouraged existing projects in the pipeline whilst opening up onshore wind, promising finance to cutting edge grid scale storage and, of course, investing into the National Grid so that it can handle more small power generating sites and integrate battery storage.

He has made the UK even more of a laughing stock (who would have thought that possible after the self-inflicted wound of Brexit), threatened inward investment (that badly needed forex?) and made any trade deal with the US even less likely.

100% Fool

"“Far-right Tories are beginning to resemble US Republicans, a development that can only undermine UK credibility internationally and improve Labour party prospects,” said Bledsoe, a strategic adviser at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington DC."

A news release from Ascendant uses wording suggesting that the Portuguese GOV now has a time limit to decide if they take up their 15%... Wording as below:

"The remaining 20% of Redcorp (the "MF&I Interest") is held by Mineral & Financial Investments AG ("M&FI"). The MF&I Interest is subject to a consortium agreement with Empresa de Desenvolvimento Mineiro S.A. ("EDM"), the state mining development agency wholly owned by the Portuguese Government. The consortium agreement provides EDM the right to participate in up to a 15% interest in the Project by exercising an option within 120 days of completion of the FS. If EDM elects to exercise its option, the MF&I interest will be reduced to 5% and MF&I will have the right to put this interest to Ascendant."

Toddlers do not like being ignored... hopefully jake will hold his breath until...

You saw a video so it must be true... just like the flat earth, faked moon landings and the orange fascists big hands

What makes you rate this as a "Strong Buy"?
