Really Tits may be running it, or investing in it. I get the feeling it is some people that mean well, think they have created a new idea, but really have no idea about running an investment business. When at university, we had to do a presentation. One guy, highly intelligent, and understood 'the money' side of things very well, did a presentation about investing in RE and the investors getting discounted energy (this was about 2007). I was next to present, about solar thermal, but pointed out that, as an older person (was twice the age of some on the course) I had seen these sorts of schemes before, and what was actually being sold was finance, or in English, a loan, not a service. After the presentations, the clever bloke said to me 'you saw right though my plan didn't you'. Think he retrained to be a stock broker.

Not as simple as he is. You watched those pizza delivery video stories as well.

Will this happen if it is easy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-63941232 Think I heard that there is now 10 dead.

Not according to my coffee drinking mate. He bought his Mother a 1500 W panel heater to heat her living room, cost on the meter was just over 6 quid a day. So decided to buy an 800 W oil filled heater, as the oil works like a storage heater, now it only costs 4 quid a day. I did not point out that it was at least 10°C warmer now. He has special physics, but no thermometer.

Make a timber threshold that the door closes against. It will mean you have a step, but does mean you can get rid of the cold.

Well planning can take a few years.

Is it with my car V50, can't find it anywhere, or the book with the radio code in it.

Had a quick look, seems they only have one wind turbine, and one under construction. May have missed something as my barmaid (actually the pub manager) friend decided to lean over the table to chat to me. I lost all concentration.

Could be a couple of elements gone pop. Easy to fix. What make of SH is it? Something like this old Creda.

But are they relying on the old subsidies? FiTs and so forth. Do they have a list if installations, and the deals they are on. From that it should be possible to see how long the income stream will last, and at what level.

That would warm me up

My SHs are similar age, and are fine. So suspect they are too small for your heat losses, rather than just no good. Mine take about 10 kWh a night in total, so that is about 0.2 kWh/m2, or 8.3W/m2 for total floor area. Do you know how much yours are taking. Just as a sanity check, do they have a fairly even temperature across the whole face, elements can stop working.

Broken or detect weather wrap or VCL. Or is it something really silly?

Two things: Do you adjust the input/output at all? How would you heat the house if they did not exist?

Pretty wet and miserable here today. So going to have a large lunch, pick up my book, read 3 pages and fall asleep. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Why?

Not really down to 'the government' though. They have told the industry what has to be done i.e. supply power reliably, then left it up to the industry. It is only then that the public horse trading and mudsling starts. The alternative is a system where governments micro-manage everything, that has not ended well for those countries. In my life (in the UK), apart from the scheduled power cuts caused by industrial action, I doubt if I have had 48 hours in total of power cuts. And not one of them has been caused by lack of production. Now I know some people have had longer power cuts, usually caused by exceptional weather pulling down power lines, not power stations failing to generate, there was the exception where a wind farm and a power station went off line together on the 9th August 2019. Lessons where learnt. Quite simply, if you want to isolate yourself from power outages, get a generator, going to be the cheapest option by far, and it will not use hardly any fuel as we just don't have multi day outages in the civilised parts of Buckinghamshire, or Cornwall.

You can see my temperatures here: view-source:http://7apbx6oiuuxtkegq7idqbwgwcjzbjvmwdqcddnesnptjkvd7qkvhkxyd.onion/data/1wire-3-1-2023.html You will need a TOR browser. Quickly changing weather is the norm here, we kind of like it I think. What is interesting is why old people seem to think that demisting their car windows when we go from dry and cold, to wet and warm, is terrifying.

Does swimming pool have a silent P in it?

I don't think so. We have about 50‰ extra on capacity. You have to remember that some old thermal plants were ready to be decommissioned, but not actually shut down. Keeping these going a few hours longer makes much more sense than waiting until a new solar farm, or hydro plant is built. As I keep saying, and shall say again. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT. While I don't have much faith in any individual government, I do have quite a bit of faith in the National Grid to guide the Civil Service into presenting the right options to the appropriate Ministers. Again, those decisions are not acted on right away, but they do get acted on. This debate about what happens when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine has been going on for 30 years at least. In that time we have gone from virtually no RE generation to 50‰ generation. And we have had a reliable supply. So your arguement that it can't happen/won't happen is rather wrong. When I was at university studying RE, there was an assumption that more than 30% renewables on the grid would cause massive instability. Well, thanks to behind the scenes investment, decent planning and very clever engineers, along with statisticians, we now frequently have 60%+ RE loading, and still get a reliable supply. And that is before large scale storage has happened. Storage is the next phase in this journey. Storage systems are going to cause more arguements than on shore wind turbines, and a lot more misinformation. You will be told, by someone, that storage uses more energy to make than it will ever deliver. It is up to you to find out if that is true or not, me telling you will not work.

We get them every year. It is part of the usual reporting. Just this year, people are taking an interest. Yes. The technical ones are, the rest is socio economic. They are the hard ones. But I keep telling people it is possible, and backing it up with data. So the message is sinking in. Not as quick as a power cut mind. The relevance was to dismiss your assumption that over 3 months we had very little RE generation. In reality we had lots. RE is much more than just wind generation.
