What good job? Do you mean him reducing tariffs on Chinese goods? Give it another week or two, the shelves at Walmart will be empty, the price will go up 30%. Trump is heading for defeat next year mid term election then third impeachment.

That garden seat looks very good to me. Do you still have it?

How much of the increase is caused by widespread cannabis consumption?

I blame social media.

There is no contradiction. You just don't realise how big the portion of trade that relied on the 4 freedoms that EU member states have like building work, music festivals, stock market, bank loans, insurance, reselling goods that came from outside the EU. We don't have that kind of trade with...

They only transit in France, like Spain, Italy or Belarus. Their destination is the UK. For many years, like you, I didn't get it why they don't choose Germany where life would be definitely good if not better. Then I understood that they choose the UK because they speak enough English to get by...

Yes, it's about 6kgs with a 36V 20AH downtube battery in stock. I will have the 85TS kit with rack battery end June.

I still have the Gospade somewhere in my warehouse but we haven't continued with that project. The Tongsheng TSDZ8 is probably the nicest crank drive kit we have now, also, the Tongsheng 85TS is a rear hub, very lightweight, excellent kit that is easiest to fit too...

Humour is fine, and albeit we are not neighbours on the opinion spectrum, I like your contribution. This thread has nearly 111,000 posts, a lot of people have contributed to it over the years and possibly one of the best in this forum on an important subject that matters to all of us. By and...

Mike, you are turning this famous thread into a joke.

I didn't change a thing. Panels have different chemistries. That means that the panels you have at your house may contain some but most certainly not all of them greater than just traces. I reckon you know that already but are just bored so just wind me up for a laugh. Still, I bet you can't get...

It's not full of toxins! The harmful materials are not in organic compounds. If you spent 7 years at university to study chemistry like I have done, you'll see solar panels as benign rather than dangerous.

Give me a digger, I'll clear it. Seriously, the glass can be simply ground down and returned to sand.

There is always room for improvement but compared to the amount of concrete and steel used in the average power station gas, diesel, biomass or nuclear, the amount of dangerous materials in solar panels is absolutely tiny. I guess we will see more perovskyte panels in the future because of...

Substance Common in Encapsulated? Risk of Leaching (Normal) Risk (Landfill) Lead c-Si panels Yes Very low Low to moderate Cadmium CdTe panels Yes Very low Moderate Selenium CIGS panels Yes Very low Moderate Arsenic CIGS, GaAs Yes Very low Moderate Note: all encapsulated.
