I can, by doing a reckless 27 MPH.

Yes. But by what, can you suggest a product?

@SimonD @Nickfromwales I have seen similar poor installed wiring. What is the best way around this? Can a flexible sheath be used? How would the ends be terminated around the existing wires?

Can't we use the sea to cool them. It would be nice to go for a dip, without a rubber suit on. I saw something about tokens/watt the other day. ChatGPT uses about 340 MWh/day for a billion queries. I am not sure if that is good or bad. It is about 10 times a standard Google search.

I wonder what generation technology would come out on top, if we passed legislation that said anything can be built anywhere. I doubt it would be thermal or nuclear.

Just like all the companies mining tin in Cornwall.

The British Geological Society has online maps of borehole locations. See if any are near you, hunt the property owner down and ask a few questions.

Do it. Then let the government (expletive deleted) up the database.

My diesel can do that as well, just mine makes a lot more noise.

I seem to remember, back in 1973/4 that we had an energy crisis, and to save electricity, the three day week was introduced by the government. Then, in 1984/5 we had the Miner's Strike. Then, during the 1990's, we had the Dash for Gas, with 35 new gas turbine power stations being built. I am not sure than 'home grown' energy security is any more secure than any other form. But with wind and solar, we can, if we ignore NIMBYs, plug in to the existing infrastructure a lot easier and quicker. There is a saying, “Steal a little and they throw you in jail; steal a lot and they make you king” (Eugene O’Neill), surely distributed generation is, by nature, more secure.

Wine, dine and 69

Both very (expletive deleted)able back in the day.

Or Christie. Read the book decades ago.

I worked near Nottingham when they blew up so cooling towers. We all went outside to watch it. It went foggy, so only heard the bangs. Made our factory shake.

I suspect the biggest risk to public health will be panels falling on people.

Just like the NRA want. I suspect the they would oppose PID in Fairfax VA though. But you are totally correct, we accept about 1,700 deaths a year on our roads, 75% being males. So get the girls to unplug them.

Generally by the 'wildcat' drilling companies. Nuclear fusion is going to be market ready in 20 years time.

I am pretty sure that the safety regulations have thought about all the issues above, so as long as the kit meets the safety standards, there will not be unmanageable problems.

Let it be done

They have never been to France then.

Which is why it hurts when good advice is totally ignored.

Those children know why you need to get a thermometer, which temperatures to take, why you need to take them and how that can help. But this child is just going to be childish, except I am no ones child any more.

Would it need to be under a steel plate as well, or is that for <50mm.

I seem to remember that the plug in wind turbines were 1kW nameplated. While they would very really generate half that, the rules may allow for 1kW to be fitted already. I suspect it will not be the most cost effective method for home generation. A lot of people will buy them but place the panels badly and be very disappointed. That will lead to a lot of bad press and set back domestic PV installations.
