As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians.

Ta.
"It's Thatcherism on steroids - this is incredible, cutting and slashing public expenditure, doing all the things he's done….. That's leadership... He is amazing." Nigel Farage "[Milei] is the 'chainsaw-wielding, bushy-sideburned wild man of Hayekian free-market thinking'. He hailed Milei for giving Argentina 'the economic medicine it needs' through drastic spending cuts." Boris Johnson "Britain needs shock therapy. A Milei-style approach would mean radical surgery. First: stop the bleeding. Slash wasteful public spending. Shut down unproductive agencies and quangos... We need to aim for a primary [surplus." Jacob Rees-Mogg "Milei is the template." Kemi Badenoch "Javier Milei rightly tells the elite [at the] awful WEF the facts of life - socialism and state intervention tends to make people poorer." Richard Tice

Politically, increasing tax, would not be well received, especially as not in the manifesto.
Tories don't keep to manifestos but Labour do.

Reducing subsidies would be more palatable,i.e mileage allowance for fossil fuels & investment allowance for fossil fueled vehicles etc .

A handful,yes.As renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation.
But only a token.

Greatest impact has been refinery closures due to lack of DEMAND.

I.e Ineos - grangemouth, Lindsey etc

Wind is currently generating over 4 times as much energy as natural gas. It's actually generating more than all other sources combined, right now. Just wanted to make you aware of that and see how maddening it is that Badenoch wants to repeal the Climate Change Act.

Because its so windy there is excess power in the system Green-energy supplier Octopus is giving customers free electricity between 12 and 2 today and between 11 and 12 tomorrow.

Deform UK don't want you to know that. Their fossil fuel paymasters don't like it.

UK is set to experience a joint record stretch of negative #electricity prices as Storm Amy drives huge amounts of #wind power into the grid.
But, “there’s very little grid infrastructure to move all that power down from #Scotland.”

"Massive fire breaks out at Chevron oil refinery in California"

Petrostate supporters go quiet about the large number of oil burning cars that catch fire, the gas pipeline explosions, and oil refinery fires, while highlighting lower rate of EV fires.

Year-to-date sales figures show that Ford's electric Mustang Mach-E with 42,000 sales by September compared to just over 32,800 for the traditional, gas-powered coupe as more and more Americans are finally taking steps to decarbonize their lives and save money versus the outdated, dirty technology.

This is interesting: the government's "Clean Power 2030 metrics". The three Clean Power 2030 targets are, in a typical weather year:

• Clean sources produce at least 95% of Great Britain’s generation

• Clean power sources produce at least as much power as Great Britain consumes in total

The UK's goal of 95% clean power by 2030 might sound Herculean.

But the UK has made more progress than many people think: it's already on 74%.
