Burning trees in the uk's (and probably the world's) most efficient coal fired powerstation is a masterstroke of the greens. Firstly destroy ancient trees in the Louisiana wetlands (thus absolutely knackering that ecosystem i should imagine), chop them down (i expect petrol powered chainsaws, not by hand), drag them a couple of miles to a processing plant, grind them into powder (needs lots of energy), dry them (masses of energy required), compress under extremely high pressure and temperature to melt the sap and get the powder to stick together while being extruded into pellets (guess what, masses of energy required), drive them a few hundred miles to a port (fleets of diesel lorries), load them onto a fleet of the biggest tankers you can get your hands on (unrefined dirty diesel powered i expect, hundreds of gallons to the mile), have 6 or 7 constantly doing the 3500 mile journey to liverpool or thereabouts, load them onto lorries for the 100 mile journey to drax, and burn them in the furnaces (and try to avoid spontaneous combustion during storage). And then, and this is the green masterstroke, produce less electricity than coal would, and produce more co2 than coal would! Nice one.

And try not to think that drax is built on top of billions of tons of coal, which we just ignore and leave in the ground, preferring ancient forest wood 3500 miles away! Oh yes, green 'thinking' at its best.

A least we kept the greens happy by not developing shale gas and by burning trees from America to generate a few light bulbs. Best use all available HGV drivers to deliver baked beans - try and keep the windmills turning as fast as. Its a great energy policy we have in this country. Our industry such as it is, is going to struggle to compete with China with its increasing use of cheap coal power. I cant get me head round trying to power the steel industry or especially an aluminium plant with windmills. Although in the interest of balance we wont be able to afford to buy even the cheap tat from the chinese. COP26 - go Boris go. The chinese are giving you all the finger with a smile from ear to ear

The rise from recent lows was probably in due to catch up sector lagging or triple witching squaring up...

China's Evergrande has nothing to do with Lloyds yet it gets hammered just as much as those banks invested in China...

Just as furlough (Id never heard of that term until this pandemic)ends I see they are going to change it to a fuel rescue package. Im not sure whether its because we have no gas or no wind or no brains. Typically politicians can see no further than the end of their noses. They have been warned about the lack of gas storage for at least 20years. I was invested in a company called Portland Gas - then Infrastrata around I think 2000. The plan was to develop underground storage chambers in the chalk off Portland in Dorset. They encountered difficulties with the Councils Planners and then the credit crunch and with no interest from the government they called it a day - I think I will keep my eye on them (I think they are still going) it may become interesting in the current climate- my electric storage punt GSF are doing ok. But anyway as the government as usual didnt plan for the pretty bleedin obvious they can now waste the money they have saved on giving out fuel subsidies because we have to pay the Belgians or whoever to store it for us. Thats if they have any money left from the money they pay to subsidise windmills and solar panels on terraced house. There seems to be a lot of subsidies about this fuel malarky. Always a sign of inefficiency and political involvement. Remember that stunningly effective use of our cash -the CAP and that farmer saying 'Im not growing wheat this year, theres more money in not growing wheat than there is in not growing Rapeseed.

This could be a bargainIt's worth noting that although Lloyds profits are expected to fall, analysts still expect steady dividend growth. This seems reasonable to me - the bank has plenty of surplus capital and the current payout's covered around three times by earnings. I can see room for growth.As a result, I think Lloyds could be a good income play at current levels. If broker forecasts are correct, anyone buying Lloyds shares at the current price could see their dividend yield reach 6% in 2023.The market wants growthIn the meantime, new chief executive Charlie Nunn is focusing on two main areas to generate growth and improve profitability. The first is wealth management - selling asset management services to wealthy individuals. The second is a more dramatic shift. Lloyds aims to become one of the UK's largest residential landlords, building and renting up to 50,000 homes.I agree that renting properties could generate higher returns than mortgages, but I also think this strategy carries some risks. If Lloyds' property arm fails to deliver a good service, it could damage the bank's wider reputation with consumers.Lloyds share price: buy, sell, or hold?I have some concerns about Lloyds' property ambitions, but I see this as a fairly safe investment overall.Although profits are expected to dip next year, over time I expect Lloyds to make progress. In the meantime, I'd be happy to sit back and pocket the bank's generous 5% dividend yield.On balance, I think Lloyds share price will rise above 50p again at some point. With the shares trading below this level, I'd be happy to buy this stock for my portfolio.Motley Fool
