BREXIT

[VNA]

Why we aren't jumping on this technology, only the authors of the Barcelona declaration knows. Anything to take away the hold Saudi Arabia has got over us has only got to be a positive thing for all our futures.

I think such technology may be part of the solution.  One issue is how much energy does it actually take to make a gallon of fuel.  And the problem with the internal combustion engine is that it is extremely inefficient.  So I suspect the electric car will be the better long term solution, but of course infrastructure for electric cars is still pretty dire – whilst petrol stations are plentiful.


I also suspect that using this technology to reduce Co2 levels in the atmosphere – ie carbon capture – will probably remain pie in the sky. 



But meanwhile BREXIT;

Spain is now onboard.  The EU is now set to agree May’s BREXIT deal.  The deal is now set.


However, the DUP has come out and stated that they will reject the deal and vote against it.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings, but I think it’s fair to say that May cannot get her deal through parliament.
So the question is where to now.  And bearing in mind that NO DEAL is not an option.  NO DEAL is more or less off the table.
