After months of blaming the Palestinians for Shireen murder and calling any one who doubted that conclusion Anti-Semitic the IDF says, yeah... it might have been us, but we will not investigate.

Will a Truss help Brits with herniated pocketbooks?

Will a Truss help Brits with herniated pocketbooks?

Yes.
She needs bambu-wisdom as her advisor...or at least she needs to read this forum and adopt his ideas.

She needs to;

. Crank up the coal-fired power stations.
. Provide coal and wood at cheap prices so average-joes/josephines can heat and cook in their homes at affordable prices.
. Provide cheap energy to businesses/industry so they can prosper.
. Import gas as long as it's not from Russia.
. Embrace nuclear power [if not already].
. Wind power has its place, as does solar...but in no way can they be the only sources of energy...as many of the 'green-dreamers' seem to believe.

I thought you were giving military and diplomatic advice to the Kremlin, Bambi. You do not have time to fix the economy in GB, even as a side gig.

Maybe if you did less overextending yourself your ideas would not all be so fucking stupidly wrong.

The energy mess in Britain, Australia etc is another perfect example of why govts should own, invest in, build, control and operate all the energy-producing *factories* in their countries.
Global gas trading market...baaah.
Global electricity market...baaah.
Govts should build coal-fired power stations, nuclear power stations etc and have govt employees operate them. Bye bye govts being held to ransom by private industry.

You fucking Commie.

Where is France and Germany going to get the gas and coal for its state owned power plants and refineries?

Funny, places with actual public power, like Nebraska, are doing the decommish on coal, and investing heavily in wind turbines.  And continuing their historically low rates, and high reliability, for consumers. 

Nebraska, Land of Socialists.  They don't call the Cornhusker team Big Red for nothing.

Horizontal relations between people.  Self-organization.  Equals: migraine for any would-be invading army.

Every state has public power, Nebraska is the only one that has 100 per cent, or close to it.
And it has nothing to do with Socialism.  It was a decision of voters nearly a hundred years ago.
The high interest in wind energy is logical since the wind blows a lot over cornfields. Still 50 per cent of the energy comes from coal, 18 per cent from nuclear.  Wind, 25 per cent.
That ratio is not going to change much given that two thirds of the  2 million state residents live outside large metro areas,(Omaha -500,00o, Lincoln 250,000.)

Publicly owned power having nothing to do with Socialism would come as a huge surprise to Tom Johnson.

It is always amusing to see what counts as Socialism for the right. Taxing and regulations, yep. Actual state control over the means of production? Apparently not. And do not get me started on ths strange argument that something is not Socialism because it came into being 100 years ago. It is pretty apparent that to RedDickJimmEspn and the rest of the hard right "Socialism" is nothing but a Red herring, used as a pejorative with no connection to the real meaning of the word.

I may have just stolen a joke from Clue.

[FlyingVProd]

As cleaner forms of energy generation become more affordable, then there is no reason for people not to go with clean energy production.

And in Anaheim our public utilities are owned by we the citizens, so we get cheap electricity, plus some of the money goes into a general fund to be spent however we choose. Thus, some of the money from the sale of energy is going to help the homeless people, and for other social programs. The only danger about the electric company being owned by the City is that we have so much money that the money attracts corruption, we had a Mayor who was so corrupt that he tried to sell Angel Stadium and get a million dollar kick-back. When you have a lot of money going to companies which are owned by the people then you have to be careful of corrupt people who try to steal and divert the money that is supposed to help the people. If you have corrupt leaders then the money does not make it to help the poor citizens. The people at the top are stealing the money that rightfully belongs to the people, while the poor people suffer and do not even know that they are getting ripped off and that we have blessings as citizens of Anaheim, and that we have help available and money available to help the citizens of Anaheim. We own the public utilities, and we own Angel Stadium, and we own the Convention Center, and we own lots of other assets, and it is great if we have honest Nuns running our City government, we need the most honest and sincere people in City government, we have a lot of money coming into our City, and we need to make sure that the money makes it to improve the lives of the Citizens of Anaheim and the poor and homeless people of Anaheim. Anaheim is rich, but we must guard ourselves against corruption, otherwise the corrupt people will benefit instead of the good people of Anaheim who our City was built to serve. The money needs to go to the Citizens and not to corrupt politicians and their special interests.

Of note too, an energy that few people discuss is Geo-Thermal, and I had a friend who drilled for Geo-Thermal energy production as a job, Geo-Thermal is viable, and people are using Geo-Thermal as I type this, and Geo-Thermal is growing in popularity.

Salute,

Tony V.

Then I suggest you research Socialism since your post ignored its definition.
The Nebraska Public Power System had its roots in citizens wanting a better system than was provided ( mostly) by corporate plants in cahoots with the Government. The fact it is the ONLY such state system in the country tells you a lot.  Kudos for citizens shaping a system  that can usually handle demand in a lightly populated state with a high rural population.  But do not forget Nebraska suffered rolling blackouts due to being part of a multi state grid  which failed to diversify enough into natural GAS.

Do not think it is not a Socialist program since it so clearly is one, a Socialist program that is weaning itself from fossil fuels and going green for the good of the collective people of Nebraska.
