Who is that?

But why? Because of investment that’s my point.

I think Rob Howley is up there as the top 3 attack coaches of all time that have the name Rob Howley.

I’ve not heard of any others but I imagine there is one or two knocking about and I think they will be better so that’s why I’m saying top 3.

Does that mean in 20 years or so when solar is king and wind is a strong second and the middle east is in obscurity america will stop caring about Israel, you think?

I think they will care less. But I don’t know how much less.

Part of that is a self feeding prophecy.

American companies, such as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel.

Like no reason they couldn’t have chosen the UK or Australia.

Honestly. And I mean honestly.

Why is America so be bed with Israel? Is it just purely a tactical location or is there way more underhand shit we can’t talk about because if you call someone out for doing something they shouldn’t and they are Jewish then you’re a Nazi?

People must be getting bribes and threats and more people in the government must care about Israel than the number of people that care about Palestinian.

Surely people don’t care that much about that patch of sand.

Yes. I believe that’s true but I’ve never done it myself.

Yea I know, I said that.

People still call them fuse boxes though.

Yea I know, I’ve wired a plug.

Never seen a fuse in a socket though. That comment is completely wrong and yet it’s the most up voted reply.

Never seen a house without a fuse box either.

Why are people saying this?

I’ve lived in multiple UK houses and never once seen a socket with a fuse. Are you saying this was change way way back in the day?

All houses have fuse boxes (which then got upgraded to circuit breakers). Not one fuses in sockets. Would be a fucking nightmare to take the socket off and change a fuse.

electric vehicle (EV) drivers to wait in line for hours at charging stations last month; some even found themselves stranded when their battery died while they waited in the queues.

I’m sure “some” ICE cars have also ran out of fuel while queueing, seems like a bit of a nothing statement. More stations are needed and range does get lower in colder conditions that is known. Waiting until you have 30 miles left when you know electric cars lose 15% of range isn’t smart.

Norway does winter testing on their vehicles and I’m sure people ask other people about car performance.

Hydrogen is largely useless. It’s an electric car with extra steps and low density fuel and difficult storage conditions.

Sure if you driving across the outback and need lightweight and fast charging there might be uses for it. But when you got 300 miles of range and live in a city why would hydrogen be better? You actually have to go to a station if nothing else rather than just charging where you park.

Hydrogen is ultimately more inefficient in time and energy and cost so it’s going to lose.

When I went to Oslo I only took public transport.

I even used to to take the bus to the forest. I walked into the bush for hours then slept. Decided I couldn’t be bothered walking back. Checked my paper map and walked into a one road town/suburb and took the bus back. That’s how much faith I had that some random place would have a regular bus going to the city centre.

I think the only logical conclusion would be EV actually work better in the cold than what you have been told. Maybe that’s the same for charging stations or maybe Norway builds to a standard that fits their climate and doesn’t cut corners.

There always a grid cost and solar energy is always cheapest when there is more solar power. Additionally users of electricity largely want fixed prices not wholesale prices.

So how do you expect people putting solar on their houses to pay fair share of, low energy value, grid costs, inertia and frequency control, higher prices at peak?

I’m all for solar but there is no way solar producers should get prices at peak time when they producing at off peak time with high supply and getting free additional costs.

Thank you.

The UK is so ignorant of heat pumps it is shocking. It’s willful ignorance where people know better than the experts. Same with induction hobs.

Having lived in Aus and NZ. Heat pumps and induction is by far superior technology.

This is not to say the UK doesn’t have a drastic issue with insulation. But that’s a separate matter.

There is no excuse for all new builds being mandated with heat pumps and induction today.

More interested to know what Bush’s views on Saudi Arabia were.

VLC represents what the internet could have been and what it should have been.

Wish we could start again with a new internet.

Their dollar buy more until the company folds as the economy goes to shit.

Pointless points. It’s a rounding error in the grand scheme of things. You’re just a fossil fuel shill.
