The West has allowed the Arabs to hold us to ransom over oil. Now Brown gives them alternative energy as well

Having allowed the Arabs – OPEC – to hold the West to ransom over oil and gas prices. Brown sees the only sensible option is to allow them to invest in and therefore take some control, if not all control, of our alternative energy sources ie nuclear and renewable.

No one is forcing us to buy oil. No one is forcing us to burn it at a profligate rate which we are doing. We dug our own hole, now we have to lie in it. Why blame the sellers of oil for selling it at prices fixed in London and New York, etc. You might as well blame farmers and supermarkets for holding us ransom. I suppose you do.

The sight of Gordy going cap in hand to ask them to help us stop using so much oil is so ridiculous that even the Monty Python team would have been rolling on the floor with mirth. Like the drinks companies are going to invest in the Temperance movement!

You ask why foreign utility company charge us more than they charge in their home country. What do you think their govt and citizens would do if they charged their own people more than they charge their foreign customers? Say, if BG were to charge the Brits more than they were charging the French or Germans. Of course, they have to charge foreigners more.

And of course we should be energy/food/politically/industrially/culturally/etc., independent, but that’s all wishful thinking. Our leaders and our political system will not allow it. Our liberal democracy has led to weak government and indecisiveness. Shareholders do not give a toss for nationalistic causes. They are only interested in making more money. Let’s not blame the Arabs or Russians, or foreigners.

BTW, the reason why oil prices spike is that most of the oil futures are held by people with links to certain leaders. When the time comes for them to dispose of their contracts, a word in the ears of some people, and another hint to bomb Iran is dropped. Prices go up, and voila, more billions in the coffers. But try and get the evidence, and you are history.
