More efficient ways of handover & working process: 1. Ambulance paramedics need not wait in A&E until patients formally admitted into NHS care, before attending to the next call. 2. Paramedics need not attend to minor injuries/fall in care homes, unless require emergency care.

It's a man made energy crisis created to pave way to the 'green' energy...

Oh jeez. I forgot about that. The list is getting longer and longer, all these directs and indirects to global luke warming ! It's gonna kill us all! Who pays for all this brouhaha

Could fuel repeat history

No. It's reverse effect.

In two things I’m sure: 1. There will be an end to Rus/Ukr war. 2. Energy prices will never come down.

Could it? I think it's been manufactured for exactly that

We don't want an energy transition

I wonder why

You don’t want to be locked in anything anyway.

We have energy crisis because people invested in make believe world of 'renewables'. The energy crisis has showed that there is need for more investment in reliable energy sources - fossil fuels, nuclear etc.

yeah, too bad it takes fossil fuel to 'fuel' your Green Energy. Whoops

flacamera 8 billion people!

flacamera The green transition is a farse.

flacamera 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

flacamera We’re always going to need natural resources.

JasonBordoff Yep, a transition to poverty and starvation for millions.

JasonBordoff Manufactured crisis though

DanielYergin Let's hope so.

niklashoehne newclimateinst among all this history, between Ukraine - USA - EU etc NATO, someone is consuming a lot of white powder

alokjha catBrahic I would not say there is a energy crisis in the many parts of the world energy consumption has leveled off. Other parts of the world energy consumption is skyrocketing is that maybe what your talking about?

alokjha catBrahic So quick question how are you going to fuel all the machinery to mine and produce the green transition because industry/mining is the number one green house emitter. Especially for those rare ones you need. Like for batteries which are super hard to recycle w/o usin lots o energy

alokjha catBrahic Off course. Its virtually the only thing that can..

The most intelligent analysisI heard on your COP 27 was Saniel Yergin. The lack of investment in real energy is going to bite hard. It was also I’m using listening to the journalist whine about no coffee for reporters. It indicates how bad entrepreneurship is in Egypt.

The energy crisis is the result of green transition

Russia, war, slander musk, oil and gas, climate change, slander musk, oil and gas, war, Russia, climate change, abortion, abortion, abortion, war, Russia, climate change, slander musk. Get some new material you jokes of 'journalists'.

If Gore would've taken the presidency, we would be so much farther ahead in Green tech. We need to stop electing Republicans, we need to elect more Progressives.

We believe in things we can't prove and we value things we don't understand. Are we hoping for *solutions* - - to the consequences of OUR DELUSIONAL APATHY ... ... and also hoping to *remain* both DELUSIONAL & APATHETIC?
