This stinks of someone who'd feeling super weak.

I think making a fuss about it would be the wrong approach. We should just calmly station more troops in Greenland, quietly impose retaliatory tariffs, and then go about our business. That would pile up even more pressure on Trump without the noise he's craving to distract people from all his other troubles.

    Energy prices are set to keep gas-fired power stations profitable because we need those power stations to keep the lights on. Sometimes. As we build out more renewables, the need for gas diminishes, but we still need it.

    I agree with the proposition that we ought to be pushing for more renewables, but cutting the electricity prices so that gas-fired power stations close, whilst simultaneously eliminating the incentive to build more solar & wind... just doesn't seem very smart.
