There is/was more oil in the UK controlled North Sea and England has nothing from the resource. Australia is the largest exporter of LNG and gets about 3% of the Royalties that Qatar earns. it is simply incompetence and corruption.

I am as "egg" as they come (white on the outside and yellow in the middle) but I am consistently abused by Chinese trolls. I love China but loathe the Chinese trolls.

You are correct but will talk about Australia. Australian rooftop solar is less than half the US prices. A 6.6 kW system installed retails at(AUD 2700 /USD 1870) and yet we have some of the most expensive electricity in the world at U

It is trivial to hide your identity in the UK / US / Australia etc. You must understand that the "City" (London's financial district) has different rules than the rest of the country. It is an off-shore jurisdictio

The story may be true but why do I feel the Chinese government is quietly supporting any story that shows Telsa in a bad light? The quantity of EVs in China amazing but the quality is extremely bad.

There is an old diplomatic saying, "Russia is never as strong as it looks and Russia is never as weak as it looks". China is the same. China is a large, poor country with an aging population. It is a badly run dictatorship that

My first Data Processing job (pre-IT) was an operator on DEC PDP-11/45. Later we upgraded to a DEC PDP-11/70. In Australia, we had 10% of the world's Pick systems. I have use Wang OIS, Data General RDOS, IBM System AS400 and
