europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of hormuz
Iran has allowed some Indian vessels to pass the Strait of Hormuz, envoy says reut.rs/4bGEBHc
Alex Karp has to be taken seriously as he’s an awful misogynist with real power, but part of me just wants to say “who put Taika Waititi in the air fryer?”.
This is almost certainly going to be less inflationary than 2022 because of investment in renewables and finding alternative gas supplies as well as more economic slack.
Do you have data for the UK?
Strait of Hormuz open for India?
"The Shivalik is carrying approximately 40,000 metric tons of gas, while the Nanda Devi is also transporting a significant volume of fuel. Their successful crossing comes just a day after another vessel sailing to India crossed the strategic narrow sea lane..."
Oh no. Teens have unrealistic expectations about body image and attractiveness.

To really honour Winston Churchill we should peg sterling to gold at the pre-war parity.
Should get a little popup photo of Winston Churchill every time you pay with ApplePay.

I was thinking of another Scandi nation
Should put cod on the notes
Surely you are relieved to not have to be saying “that’s legal tender” every time you go south of the border
My actual sincere take on this is that money was one of the symbols with which nations bound themselves together - after independence you got a flag, an anthem and some money - but now I use ApplePay wherever I go and there ain’t any national symbols on that.
Who even looks at a £20 note anymore?
Tradesmen and cocaine users, but I repeat myself.
Were the 1970s a turning point for global carbon emissions?
No Chatham House rule?
That is in keeping with normal British politicians though.

Almost certainly going to be using gas for various industrial processes anyway. Even very optimistic net zero scenarios have a big role for natural gas.
Given the history what would happen is that we'd cut taxes now to "encourage investment" and then new fields would come online in five years when there's a global glut and we'd offer oil companies credits which they could offset against the windfall tax to reduce their liabilities further.
The history of Britain's North Sea oil field is that it has relentlessly disappointed in terms of tax revenue, partly due to bad management, and partly due to its most productive periods being at times of low global oil prices. So I'm sceptical of the arguments on both sides here.
Okay well it's not clear why any of those things change the picture to me. We shouldn't tax BP because we don't own it? We're energy importers so we shouldn't want to export more? None of it seems to follow.
Okay so is the problem that there’s no mechanism for us burning gas from the North Sea or is the problem that we would burn gas from the North Sea?
