@veronica Taxes and breathing, the two things you can't live without, it seems. Still, your employer sounds like a good place. Congratulations on moving there.

@paulk The previous energy company I worked at was state owned, so the same applied there. Otherwise I may not have lasted in this industry.

[paulk@writing.exchange]

@veronica You chose well!

Glad you did and persisted, or novelWriter might not have existed. (I currently have 8 projects active in there.)

[veronica@mastodon.online]

@paulk You may say you're paying for it indirectly over your electricity bill.

Despite meeting a fraction of our energy demands, gas sets the price 85% of the time I read this week. We have to drive out our reliance on that final amount - which is why rightwing parties funded directly or indirectly by fossil fuel interests constantly tell us we have to use every ‘cubic centimetre of gas left in the North Sea’…but we don’t actually domestically even use what we extract from there.

Do you think that people having solar panels on their roof will pay something more this month to convert solar radiation hitting their panels into electricity?

[veronica@mastodon.online]

@max Moving the goal post doesn't make your claim about "the price of solar and wind energy don't increase" any more correct. The price is the price. If you don't pay it, then that has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

@euval Too bad for the war people. I don't care.
