I lived in Cornwall over thirty years ago when the sense was that tin mining was a dying industry and no-one would have forseen then that global demand would ever make it viable again. Thanks for showing this. Really interesting and encouraging. 😊
Britain is geologically "blessed". Coal, Oil,Natural Gas, Gold,Silver,Iron ore, Tin, Copper, Lead, Graphite as well as many other minerals. Tin has been mined in Britain for 1000's of years - back to the Bronze age in fact. Tin is used extensively as part of solder in the manufacture of all electronic devices, so is a very important mineral. The UK government has no long term strategic view. Cornwall is not all a slag heap, it has very beautiful landscapes and stunning coast and beaches and is a very popular holiday destination. Cornwall hosted the G7 summit between 11-13 June 2021 if anyone remembers.
Mining, even if it was open cast mining, goes back hundreds of years BEFORE the Romans. The South-West traded precious and non precious metals to the, then, known World including the European Continent and the Eastern Mediterranean including Palestine. The tin from Cornwall was considered the purest in the World and it is said that even King Solomon's Temple used tin from Cornwall. The Romans appointed Joseph of Arimathea to travel to this country to procure the metals the Roman Empire depended upon. SUGGESTION: You might want to check out 'Britain is Building a Massive New Super Mine that Nobody has Heard Of' and 'The Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines: Gladiator' - both of which are quite something!
We have a problem in this country. Our governments tend to think the private secture will pick up the cost. The rest of Europe get mega funding from their governments. Mostly breaking EU laws.
Electric vehicles are all about control. America recently passed a law stating that every electric vehicle. Must have a kill switch that the authorities can control. When you buy electric cars. They distance you can travel. How much your battery can be charged. How fast you can travel. Where you travel. All of that control is taken away from the driver and controlled by the car company or local government! Plus they have a bad habit of setting themselves on fire 😂😂
next car plan to keep it way past 2040 hopefully keep it running way past 2050, but it be low tax so at least ive got 2-4 years before any big jumps in cost
I don't think Argentina is subsidising mining any time soon. If the project is viable, the project is viable, and it won't need subsidies. All the subsidies in the world is why there's so much inflation, and at some point as a planet we're going to have to put a stop to it before it really gets out of hand. Leave china to it - if they want to chew up all their natural resources supplying the world for cheaper than is practical, let them, see how it works out for them. That said the UK is sat on massive reserves of Lithium and likely Uranium, and we should use them - because they probably are viable (and to complete the point shouldn't need subsidies).
The British economy is very service based now, we don't really make all that much, at least compared to our manufacturing and production heyday. We used to be the industrial centre of the world but we lost it. All though we are very successful in the financial and business services sectors, with London still being a money powerhouse the eggs in basket saying comes to mind. So anything that helps us diversify and actually start producing stuff again seem like a positive to me. If it needs a kick from government (taxes in the end) then so be it.
The sad thing is the government won't do anything even though the good far outlays the bad. We always shoot ourselves in the foot, and at times, the government is inept. Can't make a decision to make a decision

The lady said "What is needed now is a coherent plan from the Government". Well - I suppose there's a first time for everything.
Yes, You said it. The Government couldn't come up with a Coherent plan for a piss up in a brewery.
Government! We have a government?
Thanks, very interesting.
The UK government has a long record of not backing homegrown industry, so companies seek foreign investment or sell to an overseas buyer.

That was good to watch. It will be interesting to see how it develops. Our propensity towards failure is on the rise recently.
I was thinking Morris dancing you can’t get more ancient than ancient British men dancing round with bells and feather dusters 😅😅😂😂
Thanks for this video - very interesting ☺️🤔
This video was very interesting .
