Although schoolboy comparisons are odious, I cannot but see Sunak as the class swot, who while bright, always has his homework done on time and comes in with his hair combed and his blazer freshly ironed. In comparison Johnson is the class Joker

Why did he bother? ... I think the clever thing is for the EU and particularly ex officials to keep their mouths shut. This is nothing we didn't know.

Back to Brexit ... The new deal agreed to day is extremely clever... Especially the "Stormont Break " . It allows Stormont the illusion of choice ..and that's fair, but if and when hardy comes to hardy, Westminster calls the shots. The concern will be whether the trusted traders can be trusted...

Careful now ... I had been toying with the idea of an Audi e Tron 50, ..a huge beast at 2.5 tonnes last week . Extremely good price and very low mileage, and was just convincing myself I didn't need it.. Please don't make me second guess myself

But of course bad things only ever happen to other people .. not to me, because if they did, I wouldn't be around ,now would I?. Since I am around that's proof they don't innnit? Stands to logic,

Flecc..You are trying hard.,I grant you that. Of Course EVERYTHING in th extractive industries sector shot up late February 2022..and for an obvious reason. A reason the Russians were producing lots of Aluminium ,was they have lots of fossil fuel energy and making Aluminium is very energy...

The gas Is as expensive as the cylinder.. I recall that the deposit for the cylinder ..when last I purchased one was about 25 euro and the gas was about the same ..so a 49 euro cost. Gas refills are now about 35euro. . Maybe the bottle was subsidised, maybe not ..but in France where there...

We are not YET there with these things ..it's happening and is incremental,and certainly in the short term Lithium is filling the void, but it is an expensive solution. These other combinations are starting to happen and unlike the age of oil there will not be a single solution ..but a variety...

Aluminum-air battery pack (Courtesy of Phinergy) PUBLISHED FEB 21, 2022 2:05 PM BY HARRY VALENTINE During February 2022, the price of a metric ton of lithium carbonate salts briefly went over $69,000, up from $9,600 a year earlier. This spike is raising the cost of lithium batteries. A...

We really don't yet have that excess.. Yes the Grid is not running at peak demand during those hours ,and therefore the more expensive fast response time GaS generators are idle, and the slower response coal fired and nuclear stations are on lower demand..so it became sensible to offer...

Nope... . The only reason these are not yet implemented is neither technological nor economic..but inertia and the time taken to set up infrastructure.. Up to now the fossil fuel economy has been dominant and it is remarkably recent for this to be questioned, then it takes time to have...

"Bottled gas is a very different issue from batteries of course." .. My point is that it is not.. It's the energy one I buying and the bottle is the carrier.. Perhaps a closer example more contemporary and probably closer in price per unit, would be Laser Printer Cartridges or inkjet...

Taking my example of aluminium metal as the fuel , in a . REDOX reaction with atmospheric oxygen, the energy storage dwarfs lithium on an energy weight or Energy. Volume basis. , Currently 5 times better and potentially ? 8100/260 times better. The waste product is a gloop ,which can be...

I believe you are wrong regarding the battery technology ... It may not be in either of our lifetimes,but the storage of sufficient electrical energy in an electrochemical cell is on...The current model is for a rechargeable battery pack and that is unsustainable in a mass market longer term...

Well I wouldn't think it's about system breakdown ..more likely inadequate blood flow bringing nutrition. The amount of drugs are significant and things like oedema, liver malfunction are all part of the mix.

Thanks ,but I am fully convinced that my cramps are due to inactivity not the reverse. If I get to do my daily walk , no problem, if I missed them for 2 days ,then on the second night , I will have them. As it is I am on a wide range of anticoagulants, Statins, and heart pills , all of which...

Thanks for asking ..but count me out.

It's nice when a plan comes together ..it's even nicer when it wasn't even planned.

Unfortunately there is a waiting list of a year plus for those MGs ... I actually enquired. My 12year old Peugeot is playing up a bit.. I think it's one of those teenage year angst things,.. it will be sprouting acnes theou the paint work one of these months. But at present it's gone into...

There are lots of alternative chemistries being actively explored .. many using low cost chemicals . Sodium and Sulphur, Aluminium metal . My point is that the concept of rechargeable can also be revised... Aluminium has a very high power density but the waste product is a gloop. It can be...
