Weird photo choice, right?

Story shows more people opting to cycle, photo shows e-scooter in flood. Positive story, negative picture.

But climate-induced heatwave? Ice-cream.

Dunno, lads.

Markets latest: Gas price soars 93% since start of conflict Drone strikes across the Middle East and Iran's effective closure of a key shipping route are spooking investors and traders. Follow the latest on the global markets.

This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea

If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

I wonder did white smoke come from the burner phone?

Energy security anyone?

Did the Navy hospital boat make it to Greenland yet?

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

Kerry Minister Norma Foley welcomes LNG infrastructure inclusion in planning bill Minister for Education Norma Foley has welcomed the inclusion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage infrastructure in the ‘Planning and Development Bill’ that passed all stages in the Oireachtas this...
