obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yes. That doesn’t mean that no country should let any other country have bases. At best it suggests that countries should be cautious about which countries they allow to open a military base. 100 0

obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If we produce enough to make a significant difference to international prices then it’s possible overall usage might go up. But how much did usage go down when gas prices rose 15-fold or more in the early 20s? Show me a link between production and usage (so not including storage). 100 0

obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As I’ve said repeatedly, I’m strongly in favour of reducing our gas use as quickly as possible. But that can’t be done in just a few years. In the meantime, using domestic gas is better for the country than using the same amount of imported gas. We can do both things. 000 0

obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yes, we should be doing more, as a country, in that direction. The faster the better. But it’s literally impossible to do the whole country in a year. 100 0
obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I’ve already made it clear that I’m aware of that, and I fully support getting off fossil fuels as quickly as possible. In the meantime, it would be better for the UK to burn our own gas than the same amount of somebody else’s gas. 000 0

obitwa.bsky.social @obitwa.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think the tiny - by world standards - extra bit of gas we could extract for ourselves would have zero or almost zero effect on the world price. 100 0
