Detailed stuff about oil/gas/unconventional versions of either, reserves, no (but then again, who can?).
Intelligent points about how governments, markets, and other players are visibly reacting to the supply situation, and what these reactions might imply about it, yes. Ideas about what individuals, communities and the UK government can and should do to alleviate the situation, definitely yes.

It means he's a ****** who takes obvious delight in belittling the concept of PO and who continues to demonstrate his loathing for the membership of PowerSwitch in general.
His accomplice, AIC, appears to be a fellow onanist.  Why do they bother?

If you were an American Creationist you would probably say that God put the Grand Canyon there to show all good Americans where to find the uranium to carry on their God Fearing, though a little wasteful, not that they would admit that, lifestyle. He's obviously hinting that they should use electric cars,or even nuclear powered ones, to drive the thirty miles to their nearest mega church.

You Americans have always gone over the top with your car sizes. We prefer something more manageable-

Yeh, the American motor manufacturers are really forging ahead.
