Maybe we could stop demonising Russia and try to get on with them for a change?

As you are aware RD gas is a fossil fuel marginally or no better than coal, it will take a massive effort to persuade the irrationals to tackle the amount of change that will be required to solve this one.

If the west would stop trying to muscle in on Russia's sphere of influence none of this would be happening. The EU engineered the overthrow of the legitmate Ukraine government to install the current regime. Why should we put our neck on the line for the baltic states, what have they ever done for us?

Remind me not to call the fire brigade should “Little Englander Towers” in The Isle catch fire, as it’s none of my business and I shouldn’t get involved.

Burning 1kg of anthracite releases about 3kg of CO2 and produces about 9kWh of heat.Burning 1kg of methane releases about 2.75kg of CO2 and produces over 14kWh of heat.
