Neutered Netcurtains (what a ridiculous moniker) yonks ago as it was spouting effluent pretty much non stop. What amazes me is that people are still receptive to its continuing woke naivety! If you don't like it, filter it! Btw, it's filtered from all my threads & unable to post on them as well. And breathe. spud

NetC: 'Someone was telling me Saudi Arabia "says" it has the same
oil and gas reserves it had 50 years ago but can that
really be true? The North Sea run out pretty quick...'

The North sea hasn't 'run out', there has never been more identified O+G there. What has changed is that the Labour government has a pogrom on the industry, which is why the industry is quitting this country.

There are some sites that say if it was not for EVs and windpower etc etc, Saudi will run out of oil by the summer of 2025...

wind is free ... lol

Forget climate change.
Imagine if there were no electric cars and no windmills
is there enough gas at a cheap enough price?
Someone was telling me Saudi Arabia "says" it has the same
oil and gas reserves it had 50 years ago but can that
really be true? The North Sea run out pretty quick...
How much oil and gas is left in the tank is the world wound
back climate change?
I think we're stuffed either way..
Hence Elon Musk makes electric cars...
Its not rocket science.

But the cost of capturing and storing it isn't!

[netcurtains] 18/1/2025 09:23

And yet ELON MUSK makes electric cars not petrol...
The wind is FREE - Gas is not....Alas....

Gershom SleightholmThat CO2 is a greenhouse gas does not mean that it has a significant effect on climate change, as there are dozens of other factors. Your statement "It's real and your stupid BS has been disproven by every scientist in the past 10 years" can hardly be taken seriously. You might like to check Prof. Lindzen, or Prof. Clauser (2022 Nobel Prize in Physics): 'in my opinion the IPCC is one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation'. Don't be afraid, we can deal with whatever comes....Daily Telegraph

The Standing Charge is a TAX, and there is a lot more................But – and this is a big but – renewables' infrastructure values are based not on free-market energy prices but on artificially high energy output prices – unwittingly subsidised and guaranteed by consumers and enforced by government regulation.....Efficient allocation of capital requires prices to send signals. When prices are artificially distorted, these signals become distorted and incentivise inefficient allocation of capital. This may sound a little esoteric but in reality it is disastrous for prosperity and growth.Renewables would not be built at all unless they were given preference at every level in the electricity grid – both in prices and priority access – hence their presence enormously worsening Western grid efficiency. For those who do not believe that renewables are expensive, consider the following.Britain and Germany have the most expensive electricity in Europe, and probably the world, at around 27p per kilowatt hour (kWh). These two nations have by far the most developed renewables infrastructure in Europe. Relative to their grids' sizes, they have the largest wind fleets in the world. The pressure on electricity prices in these two countries is upwards....https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/16/fossil-fuel-investors-not-anti-capitalist-want-jobs-prosper/

Pat Kent18 min agoFTSE 100 companies derive most of their income abroad. Therefore the reason it is rising is because the flatlining economy means lower interest rates means a lower pound. This makes their foreign earnings more valuable. It is a one off adjustment to reflect how much poorer the UK will become.Contrast with the more domestically focused FTSE 250 which is still around 20% off its peak and has hardly budged.There is no good news here, even falling bond yields are reflective of a flatlining economy, sure it makes financing debt cheaper, but there will probably be more needed due to tax revenue disappointing, again due to a flat economy....Daily Telegraph

Price of share....some relationship between pound dropping in value; and commodities in dollars...

Thanks - thought so, although it not a given expectation would be a 4% hike minimum I recall from previous statements from Shell re dividend growth strategy

[disc0dave46] 14/1/2025 14:24

It was last year. Finals 30th Jan this year.

A Question: please : is it this Q final results when historically any dividend hike is announced?

Oil prices have risen to a six-month high, raising fresh inflation fears for Rachel Reeves as she grapples with a surge in borrowing costs. Brent crude has risen as much as 2.4pc today to more than $81 - hitting its highest level since August following new US sanctions on Russian oil announced last week.

Mortioic
I agree, thats why I asked the question.
The majority of my investments are London based, but I should have been in the USA for the last dozen years and I can only see that getting worse for the next 5 years at least.

[mortlolc] 13/1/2025 09:08

If the CEO firmly believes he can get better value for the shareholders by having a primary listing in the USA why wouldn't he do so? Genuine question.
