General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Exactly what the world needs right now. More CO2 emissions.
The planets fucked.
Whether you like it or not, the UK still requires oil and gas in its energy mix, and will continue to require it for another decade or so. The options are to ship it in from the middle east, US, or Russia. Or, we can source it ourselves from the North Sea. Getting it ourselves will actually have less CO2 emissions as we won't be shipping it halfway across the planet.
Except, how long will it take for this expansio to come onstream, and how expensive in terms of CO2 emissions will the infrastructure manufacturing be?
