Superstitious Idea About Trump

Renewables need to go a long way before they can provide sufficient power for industry to flourish again.

Can there ever be a happy coincidence to a situation that has taken the lives of innocent men, women and children?

Far from breaking the oil industry, there is growing speculation that Trump is using this to line his own pockets.

The wording of the OP might be infelicitous, but the result of Trump's catastrophic self indulgence is good if it promotes greater independence in producing energy.

Trump ,might well be breaking the oil industry if the results make more countries turn to producing alternative energy sources and reduce global dependence on oil.

Sadly, it won't bring the thousands of dead back to life...

I saw that on my newsfeed, it comes into effect 2028.

Nice if they could be fabricated in UK

oops, my went wrong.

Have you seen this (BBC News website)

Developers will be required to install solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes in England as part of updated planning requirements published by the government.

About time, too. I've been saying for years that all new homes should have solar panels. Heat pumps takes it a bit further.

(I note that the author of the news item is a bit confused. Firstly saying that small plug in solar panels will soon be available for purchase, then, later, saying that they're not currently sold because they don't meet safety regulations. [hm]

But approval for their sale was announced a week ago because they do meet safety requirements..

I also agree, Labour has the opportunity to invest in renewables.

Will they though?

Are they willing to breakaway from RR’s economic model, and invest in the training of our young (and retraining of us oldies) along with the infrastructure, and new production centres (factories) needed?

I'd agree with you, Caleo.

Here is Labour's opportunity to push, and vigorously invest in alternative energy production. It would not only cushion us against future oil shocks, but also provide much needed jobs and domestic industry.
