      I thought Venezuela had vast supplies of oil? Why are they reliant on renewables?

        I suspect life will become easier due to less red tape.

          Oil price dropped. Then El Nino stopped the rains.

          Why is the UK intending to become more reliant on renewables? The only one you can rely on is tides. Sun and wind vary.

          Unless we link a turbine up to assguru. Plenty of hot air there quite consistent.

                I drive past a vast solar energy farm in Wiltshire most days. Makes me laugh looking at the black skies and pouring rain running off the panels, then pop into the supermarket and see potatoes imported from Spain. Gotta love the EU!

                  Maybe they could afford to heat the communal bathing facilities too?
