The Answer My Friend Ain’t Blowing in the Wind – Part 2

A little over three years ago I posted a brief follow up to Oil is Dead, Long Live Oil. It had the title “The Answer My Friend Ain’t Blowing in the Wind”. In view of the recent (and ongoing) dunkelflaute, it struck me as an opportune time to update it with a “Part 2”.

Yesterday the BBC website asked “Why has the UK weather been so gloomy lately?” Clicking on the link produces a new headline with the explanation: “Dreary weather in the UK blamed on anticyclonic gloom”. It goes on to tell us:

Is the weather getting you down? You are not alone. Mist, fog, low cloud and a distinct lack of sunshine seems to be the norm so far this month.

It is mild for the time of year but it has typically been dull, grey and misty…

…High pressure, or an anticyclone, is currently influencing our weather.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
