So that's what the right wing will do if they get control of the Commission then?

I find it bizarre that the EU has no way to expel members.

Hmm, shall we look to history to see past efforts and the results of centralising power in Europe?

I really don't get why we'd want to emulate any of the large federations. Russia? China? USA? Nope nope nope

A cell structure of independent states is inherently a better structure than a blob where you only have to get one bad leader for the whole thing to be fucked.

Yes, implementing a new agriculture policy obviously requires the future tense. We have to undo 50 years of perversely incentivised destructive practices.

The point is we can.

Abstract: Brexit repatriates agriculture policy and subsidies after over 40 years of determination by the European Commission. The paper starts by describing the baseline at Brexit, noting the relatively small economic contribution, the problems of competitiveness given the UK’s geology and geography, and the poor environmental outcomes. The scope for improvement is correspondingly large, and in particular through the impacts of the new agricultural policy based upon public money for public goods and for England, the Environmental Land Management Schemes. Larger and more long-term impacts will come through new trade agreements, through new technologies, including digitalization, robotics, and genetics, and through carbon farming and offsets. Finally, the paper sets out a framework for a future assessment of the impact of Brexit.

Doubt it. With the amount of renewables coming on line they'll be paying people to store it not charging more. We already have negative prices in the wholesale market

Octopus are the best. Over the summer they give free electric during windy days

Not great numbers

Not American, guessing the spike and drop was due to vaccination?
