Liz Truss Takes the Helm

A few days ago on Monday morning I learned that Liz Truss won the leadership race and became the Prime Minister of the UK. The impression I got from Liz Truss is that she is a problem solver, someone that has been solving complicated problems all her life. She worked in high positions in 'Shell' and 'A T &T' before. She now has a very big problem to solve so this will be interesting. I think her Dad is a Maths Professor. 

I was thinking, if they lowered VAT to about 15%, they would get the same revenue as last year because everything is inflated. That would help everyone because it would bring down the prices. VAT is 20% now so when I buy 5 t-shirts, one of them is just tax. I guess it's not that simple, right? 

This last six months of inflation has proven that we can't afford to rely on fossil fuels to power our world. I would say we should use water power because there are rivers everywhere on this island. We could put water wheels everywhere. I read somewhere that the average wind speed in the UK is highest in Europe but then I think to myself how long do those large windmills need to spin before they even offset their own carbon footprint; they have to burn a lot of fuel to make each one of those things. Why don't they make lots of smaller windmills instead of large ones. I don't know.
