This is not a ‘Joseph plan’. More likely it is Edward Scicluna’s sleight of hand, a play on numbers which Joseph cannot quite understand.

How does dumping more debt on existing debt help reducing W&E tariffs?

How can the Labour Party propose a gas-fired power station when there is no gas storage infrastructure in place?

They propose some three gas container ships plying back and forth in order to supply the power station.

And who pays for transit and the ships themselves? Are they abandoning the inter-connector with the EU grid? Will the EU fund a new gas infrastructure helping an anti-EU regime in sheep’s clothing but still hiding wolves’ fangs?

Muscat only said that electricity charges would be slashed by 25 p.c. What he never said is what the pre-discounted charge would be.

Not really.

Why hasn’t ANY energy company worldwide taken on this business model and set up shop all across Europe, far undercutting all current energy producing companies, raking in infinitely more profits than it could ever do here in Malta?

WHO in their right mind would come up with the idea of fixing energy prices for 10 years?

It takes a Kon-rad a brief trip to fantasyland, The Great Leader to sell it to the masses, and the Maltese people to swallow it.

My thoughts exactly. When he finished, his facial expression and body language were so unbelievably detached from the heightened tone of the speech, that it looked like someone else had been talking instead of him.

They’re also now announcing Me Schell with the leader (before and after the speech). Qishom qraghu il-kummenti tiehek, Daphne

It’s pretty obvious that a 25% reduction is unworkable with current technologies, but it’s interesting to see just how out of touch that idiot is (or how utterly stupid he thinks everyone else).

An EU report leaked at the end of 2011 says electricity prices for households and businesses would rise “strongly up to 2020-2030” under all scenarios, partly because of higher prices needed to cover investment in renewable energy. So much for Joseph Muscat and his gas plant investors lining up to sell their energy on the cheap.
