So true, and it goes on. Suggestion to cut off power to Jersey made recently. Long supply chains aren't green or logical.
We have the skills in the UK. It's a combination of short termism in politics, coupled with misplaced financial engineering. Confiscatory taxes on companies and rampant issuance of fiat currency puts a massive brake on innovation. We need new pathways for entrepreneurs to be encouraged and government could and should play a major role.
