The thing is any decent decision the government may now make, like saying the UK will definitely build 5 nuclear power stations fully back by HMG will take 10 years to come into fruition.

By all the so called democratic countries there is too much looking toward the next election and buying votes and not on my watch rather then making real decision that will benefit the country and for them will also benefit who ever is in government in 10 years time.

SIR – The National Grid's online data for the electricity generated by Britain's 11,000 wind turbines showed that, in the year up to mid-September, they contributed an average of only 17.6 per cent of what the country required. Sometimes the daily or even weekly rate was as low as 3 per cent.Why can't our politicians just look at the figures and accept that there is no way these turbines will ever supply reliable power for households and industry? Even doubling the current number would hardly make a difference during weeks or months of low winds (and, ironically, global warming itself might be making this natural resource less reliable).We need to use gas, coal and nuclear power for the immediate future or the country will grind to a halt.Malcolm KirkCraobh Haven, Argyll....

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has cut its world oil demand growth forecast for this year.In its monthly report on Wednesday, the group said it now expects oil demand to grow by 5.82 million barrels per day (bpd), down from its initial 5.96 million forecast.It said the increased risk of COVID-19 cases, primarily fuelled by the Delta variant, was clouding oil demand prospects going into the final quarter of the year.OPEC highlighted that demand in the third quarter of the year was resilient due to rising mobility and travelling activities, particularly in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), it said.However, its revisions were driven by both the OECD and non-OECD countries, as "the recovery in various fuels is expected to be stronger than anticipated, and further supported by a steady economic outlook in all regions".It maintained a growth forecast of 4.2 million bpd for next year....

The Business Department needs to promote UK energy to promote UK industryOCTOBER 13, 2021 POST A COMMENTI attach below my proposal to the Business Secretary: Levelling up requires the UK to attract and retain more investment in industry as well as services. One of the main requirements to keep and attract industry is a plentiful supply of affordable energy. This may well in the future be renewable electricity or hydrogen gas made using renewable electricity, but for the next few years industry remains heavily dependent on gas.This means we either allow more UK gas to be produced and supplied on longer term contract at affordable prices, or watch as more of our industry is closed down and replaced with imports from countries that do have cheaper gas. If you want to make glass, ceramics, paper, steel, cement, plastics or many other products you need gas. Importing it from somewhere else does not reduce the carbon footprint. It usually  increases it.The UK energy policy in recent years has been to close down our coal power stations,to avoid building much new gas generating capacity and to rely more and more on imports. We need Norwegian, Qatari and EU gas in increasing quantities to keep our plants open. When there is a worldwide gas shortage our partial dependence on imported gas at world spot prices causes particular stress. We need increasing amounts of EU and Norwegian electricity.We compound the difficulties of the steel industry by failing to mine a specialist coal we have in the U.K. and need for steel output. The chemical industry of course relies on oil and gas feedstock for much of what it does, but we have not allowed sufficient production and a close working relationship  between the energy industry at home and the chemical industry. Germany has a larger chemical industry without a home gas and oil industry which should have placed it at a disadvantage but Germany does cut energy prices for industry and relies on a lot more coal in the total mix.Shouldn't we trust the market more and grant the permits for UK exploration and development of domestic oil and gas? Wouldn't that reduce CO2 by cutting dependence on imports from coal based systems like Germany and China  and from the extra transport it takes to bring the goods to us? .... John Redwood

If gas is dear you need more of it or a better alternativeOCTOBER 12, 2021 39 COMMENTSThe Business Secretary was the Energy Minister, and is now the boss of the Energy Minister. His disagreements with the Treasury over whether he can offer any subsidy to hard pressed manufacturers need not prevent him helping the energy using industries very directly. He should invite them in with the gas supply industry and the UK gas producers and discuss how going forward the UK can produce more domestic gas to reduce our reliance on erratic and currently very expensive imported energy.An industrial user of gas that needs plenty at a competitive price to make steel or glass or paper or ceramics wants some reassurance that going forward they can obtain enough gas at sensible prices to be able to keep their customers. If the government allowed the UK gas industry to find, produce and deliver more of the gas that is available in our islands and seas they could offer more long term contract gas to domestic industry on sensible terms.The Minister could explain to the green lobby that this is a greener answer as well. It makes little sense to bring gas compressed by use of energy around the world in large tankers needing a lot of diesel to power them to our shores, when local gas could pass down a pipe for a fraction of the power needed for the import. If something is too dear you either need more of it or a substitute. There may be other ways of making steel and paper in due course, but for the time being if we want to save our industries they need cheaper gas..... John Redwood

Just to clarify. This does not mean giving up listing in London or Euroland.

[scobak] 11/10/2021 13:03

I said a listing, not being domiciled there. In the US this is seen very much as an offshore company and therefore is shunned by many.
A US listing gives it a US quote which makes it an acceptable company to invest in.
Net result is greater investability ( is that a word?) by the world at large and greater acceptability.
.......and as we all know, US investors tend to be happier with higher prices and therefore PEs.

It is made somewhat easier also as it already reports in dollars.
