Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 20/09/2026They're sooooo bad at this. Its shocking. Could they just think critically for one minute. #speirgorm 010
Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The key question is will they congregate at the central bank again? And will it be the new one (to windy id have thought) or the old one (to much consumerism not enough capitalism) #speirgorm 120

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Get in the Sea. The nonsense we go on with in this country with public transport. And now we're being told it's 2bn over what's in the NDP. Just build the f**king thing.

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I assume (hope) this is all trump related political maneuvering like any govt would do And the govt would carry on regardless with renewables, wind, solar + batteries. While an expert group assesses LNG, takes a year and says its crap anyway. Except in our case, I fear this may be the plan. 000
Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 09/09/2026What's worse, is its taking from day to day funding and budgets for govt departments and public bodies. Wasting our corpo tax the same way thatcher wasted the uks northsea oil money, and that before you even think about infrastructure. #spiergorm 000

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I know that, I think my point is, that will be eaten into for profit as the charges reduce, keeping the bills more or less the same with a cursory reduction to show change on behalf of suppliers. Those tiny margins will become slightly larger. I agree though, major grid improvements are needed. 010
Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 14/08/2026There are large benfits to us using the money on the grid definitely, but leaving all the generation money on the table is mistake. Any saving from grid optimisation will be swallowed up as profit by private suppliers, it wont change anyone's bill imo. #spiergorm 100
Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Even if we did look to build more windfarms we'd licence them to private companies and see zero benefit. We could make a fortune off it but ive no doubt we'd privatise it from the get go. #speirgorm 160

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Spoiler it was never a gamble. Its a strategic move.

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Jesus thats bad, cause we aren't great at all. Bus Connects (the route and cycle path corridor the bus was on) doesnt have funding this yesr and possibly next, current govt did a deal with indos and they all love roads and cars so the moeny for public/active transport was gutted. 120
