And it has still not happened apart from some small scale tests plants. It has been around over 30 years.

He is your man, brilliant paper pusher. I saw him kill 3 men with a (expletive deleted)ing pencil.

China gets a lot of coal from Australia. About 85 million tonnes. Which, fascinatingly has increased by 50% since 2023. Did they know something.

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.
