A great read!
It sounds like the ultimate conspiracy theory but , if true, is very worrying indeed.
These individuals must surely be at odds with each other as they try to get an ever bigger slice of the pie.
It reveals a fatal flaw in the American concept of democracy.
Could it happen here?

A valid but minor error within the context of the whole article.
I wasn't aware of the origin of the name so that's good to know and apparently it was a gift from Queen Victoria.

Best wishes and good luck Mr Mamdani.

Ukraine is to be applauded for only attacking the infrastructure of war, whereas Russia deliberately terrorises and murders the civilian population.
Ukraine is our frontline and we should fully support it without any restrictions.

Surprised that USA is at no.3 despite Trump's best efforts.

Oh no, my ocd compels me to say it's a pity that the stuff we have to mine to make those adorable solar panels and windmills is not renewable. I just hope some clever country creates a huge recycling industry & makes a fortune!

Yes it would be good to be able to choose the source of one's electricity and pay the appropriate price. That would expose the real costs.

Also, Ofgem is apparently exploring zonal pricing, where electricity costs reflect local supply and demand.
This should allow regions rich in renewables (like Scotland) to benefit from lower prices.
The government should be really pushing for this if it wants to improve its popularity.

I understand that the government is redesigning the wholesale electricity market so that renewables and nuclear can set their own prices, rather than being tied to gas.
What progress is being made and , really, why hasn't it already been done?

With the cost of gas inevitably rising ever higher as availability diminishes, what measure are being taken to unlink the electricity market from gas prices? It seems illogical and completely unsustainable to continue this way.

It's a major concern that large nuclear power stations are such a security risk (economically and politically) as well as an environmental one. All this and still the question of end of life disposal.

My vision for transitioning our fossil fuel industry - forging the future through retaining and retraining the workforce and repurposing the infrastructure, avoiding lay-offs and damaging communities.

Great news. Now I'm even more inclined to support the Co-Op.

4/ Repurpose the refinery’s physical assets for clean fuel production, carbon capture, and energy storage.

5/ Funding -
Redirect fossil fuel subsidies.
Tap into the Great British Energy Act.
Use carbon border taxes to fund local regeneration.

This is strategic investment.

3/ Local Power, Local Pride.
The community must not be a passive recipient but an active architect. Establish a Lindsey Transition Council—composed of workers, unions, local leaders, and clean tech innovators.

2/ Every job lost must be matched with a pathway forward—into green hydrogen, synthetic fuels, retrofitting, or local enterprise. Retraining must be funded, dignified, and tailored to real futures.
