That is an interesting reply. On today's broadcast, they were talking about the workplace economics of going green. I learn quite a bit, and I studied environmental economics, but from a western perspective. The two Ugandans on the course saw things very differently.

Then you will never know.

The way I understand it, it is not the voltage that is the issue, it is the isolation. 110V on site uses isolating transformers, there is no reason why it could not be a 230V isolating transformer. These have no physical connection between the primary and secondary windings. So if you touch either the nominal live, or neutral wires, they become grounded and at 0V (or very close to it), this zeros the power as power is VA. Just don't touch both at the same time.

It is interesting about the science and mathematics needed. It is taught at GCSE level. What is lacking is public understanding and interest. I tried to set up a course, couple of hours once a week for a term, about environmental issues. The CAM commented that she thought it would be about recycling and growing your own vegetables. To show how little has changed in 15 years, the BBC, this week, are running a show on the radio that highlights the mismatch between the science and the public understanding. Here is the link. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001gk5d I suspect very few of you will listen to it though.

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.
