Needy, you need reliable power for AI data centres. MS and Amazon are repurposing or building new nuclear facilities purely to power their AI data centres.

Meanwhile, here in good old blighty at peak times this morning, renewables provided anywhere between 0 and at most 6% of our electricity needs

You cannot have Net Zero and be an AI powerhouse. Without SMR/nuclear plants and a transition plan to get there (gas security), it cannot happen.

These clowns are destroying us.

Socialists don't understand economics, that's why it has never worked anywhere and never will. They don't know a laffer curve from a chocolate biscuit.

There are absurd assumptions that they make (and Thieves has done this in her £40bm raid), that

A) People will willingly just work harder and hand over more tax for less personal gain

B) Making it more expensive to employ people will not cost anybody their jobs

C) Conceding pay rises to employees and unions will stop with just one round of hikes

She is beyond stupid, but then again so are the fools who voted for her because the BBC told the sheep it's "time for change"

Once he misunderstands something, he just digs his heels in regardless. He thinks there are sanctions and tariffs that the Paris accord can impose on imports from dirty nations. There aren't, it is a voluntary carbon credit exchange scheme

Meanwhile, sensible countries just pay lip service to the madness and watch the Lemming that is the UK head for the cliff edge.

The idiotic ideologies were always going to bump harshly into realities.

Today alone, 70% of our power is being generated by burning gas. Labour stooges are trying to get a bill through this week to expedite our reduction in emissions to just 10% within a decade. People would starve and die

What we need is a Trump style bonfire to all the nonsense. Aside from a few eco loons, most people in the UK have by now had a gutful of the total nonsense day in day out.

Time to treat the mentally ill identity politics morons the harsh way. Ignore them and don't pander to them.

There are no costs to be applied to American goods. There are no tariffs and sanctions in the Paris Agreement

Get it through your thick skull!

He didn't just announce it, he signed the executive order. Yes it will take a while but it's formally happening. The US will not be tipping billions into climate "research"

The blue haired, sandal wearing, frappe brigade are in tears this morning.

Why not sell now and lock your profits? You won't be able to get out fast enough when the brown stuff hits the fan. Even better, short it!

But this is a Solgold forum, not Bitcoin. Crypto has no relevance here so off you pop.

Be quiet TF. Solgold's largest asset by value is copper from Cascabel, the growth in the demand for copper is very closely aligned with the electrification of the world (a.k.a the green scam)

The world's largest economy has just reneged on that drive. It is entirely relevant to this forum, much more so than your tiresome cut and paste rubbish or resistance points to four decimal places cribbed off British Bull***t

Interesting, but a lot of conservative leaders were invited. Or as Stalin and the wokes label them "faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar right"

One of Quady's predictions has already fallen. Trump just signed to exit the Paris Agreement

1-0 Slug

Fluff, waffle, fluff, waffle, fluff and more waffle

But no indication or references to what you think makes exporting more expensive for the US by exiting a voluntary climate framework.

You can run, but you can't hide. What EXACTLY can the Paris Agreement impose to punish the US for not being part of it?

This just gets funnier.

China signed it to fleece the rest of the world. America signed it because they were caught like a rabbit in the headlights of woke/DEI trash. Trump repealed it in 2016 and he will do so again.

I've read it. There is nothing the Paris Accord can do to put sanctions or tariffs on the US if they leave.

I know that, you know that, Trump knows that. So stop lying, or cite the particular "laws" from the agreement that back up your claim that exports will become more expensive for America

I've read it cover to cover and I don't see it. So point it out for me and I will happily apologise if I was wrong

But will you?

To sell wind turbines and solar panels to the morons who are cutting their CO2 emissions!!! Are you that thick?

3300+ Coal powered power stations, they are the world's manufacturing base. All CO2 emissions have been exported to China so that idiots like the UK can claim they are "cutting" their own output.

You couldn't make it up. It's utterly ridiculous. Yet still the idiots fall for it.

And as you know, members of the Paris Accord set their own goals. So China can simply set modest goals for some time far in the future while she milks the idiot nations for going too far too fast

Xi must be belly laughing at Stalin.

He left it once already, no excuses, he exited. And he will do it again.

I think one of the things ideologists like you suffer with is when your ideology bumps into reality. Sure the Paris Accord has all sorts of studies suggesting things like tariffs but they are just think tanks. It is not a trade agreement and as such it has no way of enforcing sanctions or penalties.

The best it can do is suggest that its members don't trade with the world's largest economy and don't take its petrol, gas, aircraft, arms and all the other things that other nations actually want.

That is where it differs from the UK. We produce nothing (apart from arms) that other countries want anyway. So any tariff we imposed would be self harming, unless for example it was because we wanted to promote our own gas/oil and fracking products. But these clowns have ruled that out.

Let's see how our predictions pan out. You think Solgold will go to production and Trump will bow to the green lobby. Forgive me as I laugh when I counter with mine.

Solgold will be bought out, USA will leave the Paris Accord, Net Zero will end, and EV mandates the world over will disappear faster than Shergar did.

You can't give me it because it doesn't exist, the agreement contains no sanctions at all for non-compliance. It seeks to promote and encourage compliance (for example using the carbon credit exchange to work together to mutually hit those arbitrary, irrelevant self declared goals)

It is a voluntary framework, not a formal trade agreement. You are about as clueless as they come I'm afraid.

Give me one example of the voluntary carbon token exchange being enforced involuntarily

Better still, give me the LAWS that members must follow to impose tariffs on countries that will not comply with the Paris Accord. You can't, because they don't exist

Obfuscating with insults and deflections isn't cutting the mustard these days. Even the common garden idiots can see why do it.

Put up or shut up.

I did not see Nobby, but Milei was there and that was fascinating given his remarkable work in taming Argentinian inflation by taking a chainsaw to wasteful public sector spending.

We're going to see several bids Quady, BHP are sure to have to a go. I expect Reinhardt to toss her hat into the ring too. Someone will blink first soon and I believe that to be the suitor I already mentioned.

Now stop deflecting Quady, give me the part of that Paris Accord that makes Trump's exports more expensive by pulling out of the worst agreement in the history of mankind.

And here comes the classic Quady reverse ferret. You've been found out and now you're trying to squirm away

I've read the Paris Accord, you claim to have too. Now kindly reference the relevant section that clearly illustrates that non compliance will result in mandatory tariffs on the "offending" nation. If you can't do this, then it's clear that (as usual) that you are lying to suit your agenda.

Yes a voluntary scheme where nations can exchange credits to help one another reach their arbitrary and pointless targets.

But if you're not in the agreement then you're not in the scheme. Could you kindly point me instead to the part of the Accord that says there are mandatory import tariffs on non members?

No...thought not.

He withdrew from it in 2016 too, the implications were not huge then. Try explaining to me what you think the implications are, and why?

There are not tariffs on countries who aren't in the Paris accord, not are there penalties on those who don't meet their own targets (which, ludicrously, they set themselves!)

Do enlighten me, I'm all ears and all smiles tonight. The inauguration was almost as satisfying as election night itself

I'll give you one further hint, in the hope that the penny finally drops. Article 6. VOLUNTARY.
