You gotta larf - Trump, meeting KC

[IT Minion]

Why don't we buy oil from America? It has loads of the stuff. With the collapse of Iran, countries are looking at alternatives. King Charles could have raised this subject with Trumpo.

It's the wrong grade and they don't export what we need. Its also moderately expensive.

Iran hasn't collapsed yet by the way, and there's no guarantee it will. Trump has backed down before and probably will again if pushed.

That wouldn't be a name, it would be a description.

Thank you for the confirmation.

There's a load of the oily stuff under the North Sea.

Sadly most was blown by the boomers, but there's still some left.

Absolutely no sense in leaving it there while importing more from loony countries, creating more emissions in transporting the stuff.

We do.

• Top Supplier: The U.S. has become the UK's largest foreign oil supplier, surpassing other traditional sources.
• Import Value: In 2023, the UK imported £18.7 billion worth of fuels from the U.S.

It's apparently, the wrong sort of oil, for our needs - it had to be either swapped for, or mixed with imported oil.

Yes, I've heard that, Harry, but where there's a will there's a way! We are the country that gave oil technology to the world.

Don't kid yourself.

China: As early as the 1st century BC and the 4th century AD, the Chinese utilized systematic extraction techniques (drilling early boreholes with bamboo poles) and used petroleum as a fuel source.

You're as bad as Koolpc inventing "facts" to suit your bigotry.
Using false information passed as "fact" des several things:
It shows you lack integrity.
It show you invent information to suit your narrative, as and when it suits.
It illustrates that you're talking shoite when tou feel the need.
It shows that you are ignorant of the genuine facts, or choose to ignore them.

Delusional is treatable, if caught early.
