U-turns

[TheCat]

The press and opposition love calling out 'u-turns' it seems. And while of course we want to see leaders with well considered plans and conviction in their plans....isn't it also the sign of a good leader that as the facts change, they change their mind?

Yes...many government changes of decisions this year can be seen negatively and are reflective of poor due diligence in my view....but I don't think all changes of heart should be seen in this negative light....

I mean sunak going to cop in eygypt....is it really a uturn worth attacking? He probably shouldn't go, as plenty to get done at home...but is going because Boris is going.....fair enough...UK doesn't want BJ leading the conversation on their behalf....a sensible move in changing circumstances...

He should go, and it is sad if it is due to Johnson's presence. I hope he saw sense and is going for the right reasons. It would be interesting to hear what the Aussie's position is - green energy with all that sunshine exporting it where possible to the region is surely a win win.

And of course Brazil

Pretty tricky to export electricity when you have no close neighbours....

But much easier to export lng😀

Simples. Produce hydrogen. Very much the fuel of the future.

Or just produce energy-intensive goods so the energy export is embodied in the goods.
