Time will tell if that works any better
ehh the motive varied quite widely on where and when your talking about
It was certainly true for Africa
Initially it was slaves, then it became that.
eg. In India it was mainly about wealth but in Africa it was more for morals
esp. for slavery
Yep
But there was usually at least 1 eye on more material concerns
Fuel a roaring economy, it makes sense
If not economically it was to dab on the other Europeans
Keep the gears oiled.
Most of the British empire was "i don't actually want this I just want you to not have it"
Or some regional commander doing something spicy because he was bored
Thats how the Zulu wars started
Also how Japan took Manchuria
``On Saturday, at noon, hundreds of thousands – led by students and young people – will come together for one of the biggest and most important protests this country has ever seen. ``

Something which should have been in our strategic reviews YEARS ago
it really is
it isn't gonna stop kids from seeing it
problem is all renewables except nuclear and hydro suck
at the moment at least.
Wind isn't that bad tbh
Moving us towards renewables is good anyway
For multiple reasons
in terms of kwh per dollar it is, admitedly it isn't the nightmare solar is
@ShardS while nuclear isn't renewable, you're not wrong
and has more room for improvement
And for wind and solar you will need new infrastructure which can store power for when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing
And the UK can be the hub for that improvement
@killerqwerty its reserves are so large it might as well be for the next few hundred lifetimes
As demand for Wind increases in the UK, the technology will be developed ideally by British firms to meet that demand
Win win.
Also, economies of scale applies.
wind energy honestly isnt all its cracked up to be...
Turbines will become cheaper as we use more of them
the pathway to carbon neutral should be fission into fusion.
Meme argument, it's not here yet. @killerqwerty
