The amount we were buying from Russia I can't see that it really made that much difference.

People have such reliance on anything that gives them comfort they will bitch about anything nowadays. The entitlements are disturbing sometimes. Seeing a post about tomatoes. Really... Grow your own not that freaking hard. It's the " What can government do for me " attitude is what is shocking to me.

So no I know I not in the UK there are some values you shouldn't bend a knee to. Just because you are uncomfortable. Some of you crack on with that spirit. Some are just smoking straight up crack.

In the ideal world we should not buy it. But if I buy something made in China, is China using Russian oil. Either in the plastic, fabric, or the energy to make or ship what I have purchased.

Forgive me Bear Grylls, what was I thinking? A Londoner can burn wood in their non existent fireplace...or up high in their tower block.

All of a sudden, you're suggesting alternative to gas and oil. Why the change of heart?

To be honest.opec can do as it wants I've no problem. We can dictate to them what prices they set. Like they can't dictate what financial services and libor rates are set.

We can choose who we buy product from though.

"Would you rather the uk government bought no oil and gas from Russia because of uktraine as an attempt to reduce the income or would you rather we did and reduced the inflationary costs?

People have such reliance on anything that gives them comfort they will bitch about anything nowadays. The entitlements are disturbing sometimes. Seeing a post about tomatoes. Really... Grow your own not that freaking hard. It's the " What can government do for me " attitude is what is shocking to me. It's not easy to grow tomatoes on the 17th floor of a London flat. So you are reliant on government to provide and not self preservation?

The government doesn't provide people with tomatoes.

Not even one of the weirdest things I've seen on fab today. Just Admit you want everything Handed to you because you think you are entitled to it.

Just so we're clear.

Highlighting that the government doesn't provide tomatoes to the population = I want everything handed to me because I think I am entitled to it?

Why complain about Brexit again? Your pissed about a majority of people making the decision. Every little bump in the road the News tells you. You are there to try and remind others of thier decisions. Just like others.

What's this got to do with tomatoes not being provided by the government or about the question in the OP?

Feel free to nswer the questions

I'll be honest, I don't understand Blu's questions.

Blu is saying she can be self proficient in heating and food and we here aren't, we are more reliant on services providing our basic needs.

So what's the question?"

Feel free to answer the one I posed.

Forgive me Bear Grylls, what was I thinking? A Londoner can burn wood in their non existent fireplace...or up high in their tower block.

All of a sudden, you're suggesting alternative to gas and oil. Why the change of heart?

Do you understand a commodity? Oil is tomatoes are and anything you purchase. So why purchase when you can be self reliant? Your ancestors done it why can't you? I'll tell you why.. Government. If you can't see that control well.. you are blind.

That's why I live in the countryside was just making the point have never seen tomatoes growing in Chicago for that mater guess to cold in Feb when I was there liked the green river in march through.

I would like to see our government and governments of the world putting pressure on Opec, to remove Russian influence on oil and to stabilise the market for the next 5 years.

To be honest.opec can do as it wants I've no problem. We can dictate to them what prices they set. Like they can't dictate what financial services and libor rates are set.

We can choose who we buy product from though."

I do not believe we are pushing hard enough on the Opec+ countries to influence oil prices today.

Oil reliance is falling and Opec+ will continue to hold us over the oil barrel to protect their asset value, if we start to explore next gen energy and involve those countries I think we can influence positive outcomes today and secure future energy sources at the same time

Simply because it's not the war in Ukraine that is solely responsible for our energy costs being high. Energy companies are making a mint at our expense. They could take a hit and keep costs down but they won't.

I'd focus on improving people's homes. We're living in some of the oldest homes and they cost a bomb to run as they are poorly insulated. That would help the transition away from fossil fuels by minimising how much we need to use.

I have no garden, so I have no means to produce tomatoes or crude oil.

Not sure what any of this has got to do with the comment I made about the government not providing tomatoes. Seems like you've taken that, assumed a whole bunch of stuff about me, then got angry about those assumptions.

"Would you rather the uk government bought no oil and gas from Russia because of uktraine as an attempt to reduce the income or would you rather we did and reduced the inflationary costs?

"

A good conundrum. Being honest I have no idea as I would need more data to make a decision.

Do we know what proportion of our oil and gas comes from Russia? Can we offset that with increased production/purchase from other oil and gas producers? Do we have sufficient leverage with those other producers to ensure they do not inflate their costs? Are we on a war footing and therefore does the increased profits being made by oil and gas extractors and utility companies represent “war profiteering”?

One key lesson we surely have learned is that the UK needed to upgrade rather than decommission rough storage AND the the licenses for North Sea extraction should have had a clause prioritising domestic supply.

Thankfully the uk was never really reliant on Russia for oil and gas. But was on coal.

We've dropped that reliance 66% in response to Ukraine by jan 22 and now I think completely? But awaiting new figures.

It's one of those o sort of wanted to gauge where people are at because. We have people complaining about energy lrice inflation without acknowledging the uk is doing a gold thing and sanctioning Russia.

You can really have your cake and eat it. If you demand we dont buy from russia, that's fine. Bur absolutely expect oil and gas prices to surge.

Thankfully we have the ktnerconnectors and gas lines with Norway.

Again though. I think Qatar now send us lng imports as does the usa. And these have increased.

We know how people feel about Qatar.

Do people want a solution? Should we frack? Should more license be given tk drill, do we go mini nuclear. Which involves China?

"Would you rather the uk government bought no oil and gas from Russia because of uktraine as an attempt to reduce the income or would you rather we did and reduced the inflationary costs?

A good conundrum. Being honest I have no idea as I would need more data to make a decision.

Do we know what proportion of our oil and gas comes from Russia? Can we offset that with increased production/purchase from other oil and gas producers? Do we have sufficient leverage with those other producers to ensure they do not inflate their costs? Are we on a war footing and therefore does the increased profits being made by oil and gas extractors and utility companies represent “war profiteering”?

One key lesson we surely have learned is that the UK needed to upgrade rather than decommission rough storage AND the the licenses for North Sea extraction should have had a clause prioritising domestic supply.

Thankfully the uk was never really reliant on Russia for oil and gas. But was on coal.

We've dropped that reliance 66% in response to Ukraine by jan 22 and now I think completely? But awaiting new figures.

It's one of those o sort of wanted to gauge where people are at because. We have people complaining about energy lrice inflation without acknowledging the uk is doing a gold thing and sanctioning Russia.

You can really have your cake and eat it. If you demand we dont buy from russia, that's fine. Bur absolutely expect oil and gas prices to surge.

Thankfully we have the ktnerconnectors and gas lines with Norway.

Again though. I think Qatar now send us lng imports as does the usa. And these have increased.

We know how people feel about Qatar.

Do people want a solution? Should we frack? Should more license be given tk drill, do we go mini nuclear. Which involves China?

"

Reliance on Russia should be 0, it is unstable with Putin at the top.

As I mentioned in a post above we are not doing enough to manage the Opec countries, who are going to become more aggressive with oil supply as our reliance on oil starts to fall.

The Opec countries have the perfect environments for making 0 emissions fuel, in my opinion we should be influencing the move to this fuel production now, and tying it in with the switch from oil to stabilise the price of a barrel over x years.

This should give the Opec nations confidence in their future and confidence to begin building the infrastructures needed to produce 0 emission fuels.

Honestly, Russia cam do one quite frankly. If fuel became too expensive we would rather resort to wood burning and open fires to cook our food and heat our water. It won't last though. Russia will crumble in the next fee years. It's only a matter of time.

It’s not the fact we buy very little oil or gas from Russia ( I think it’s zero on oil and 5% on gas) it’s the market price for oil and gas……

Why domestic supply over Power stations your boiler needs electricity as well as gas to run.

I think the more self reliant we are the better. Although we may not buy much from Russia historically, some countries do and need to find replacement suppliers which in turn can affect the UK. We only have north sea supplies as not allowed to frack. Quite surprised to learn we imported coal from Russia when we have coal in the UK but expect there is a reasonable reason

We use to buy lots from Ukraine that is giving us problems.

We should develop our ability to frack. Trying to negotiate with opec, including Russia, without the leverage of our own possible supplies is like playing poker wearing reflective Raybans.

There is an abundance of oil, but supply is deliberately restricted to keep prices high.

Develop our own supply and prices will fall, below that at which fracking is cost effective.

OPEC can always undercut us as their production costs are lower.

Result, lower energy costs and little fracking needed.
