What did those wolves do to deserve such a punishment?

The microanalysis is fine, but the macro analysis is not supported. The reason why EVs are in the luxury bracket is because that is where the profit is. It was always so. I was purchasing classloads of IBM compatible PCs at 4K a throw, back in the day.( That's a purchase of 22 machines each...

There are limitations with wind turbines also. They do need maintenance .. much more than Panels and they are noisy .. and forget about putting them on the roof .. the vibrations would damage the building. Wind power is excellent.. but scales better . PV is better in an urban area

With land, it makes a huge amount of sense. A pergola with panels for the roof is really a no brainer..

Not really so ... Our base load is seemingly about 220 watts. Probably 1KW at evening with TVs and computers . When kettles or heat pump or oven kicks in it can jump to 5 or 6 KW or higher. Now the peak power .. Noonday clear day is 3.6KW . .. , but above the 1KW for a lot of the day...

Indeed but I was picking that data on what was the nadir of the year. And that 700watts is at the 44cents per KW hour peak day rate. Meanwhile during the heady days of Summer the Energy it can be 500kwHrs a month ,also at 44cent per KW.Hr. .. Or 3.7MWHrs per annum. And my outlay was 7000...

It is really not much different than what Blair and Brown did back in the day... . Their huge concern is to keep Sinn Fein from taking over Government. The remarkable thing is the fact that it has taken so long. The major distinction between FF and FG is what side their grandparents were on...

You are like those comedians who used to raise a laugh about their solar torches not working at night... . The point is that PV does work. Today ,this minute, is probably the coldest day so far here, and my panels this Instant 11:14 Am are generating 700 watts. My Grid electricity...

My experience is rather positive ..of course the power output is extremely variable and can be as low only about 0.5kwhr per day. watts per day .. in fact my worst month was last December with 45.4kw hrs over the month . But it can be ten times that in Summer .. 457kwhrs in July. Even today...

Those modified sinecwave convertors would be fine .. I didn't want to complicate my previous post by including the fact that the standard electric blankets need AC because the thermostat in them will be using Thyristors If I were doing this I would be tempted to just use a knackered car battery...

Sorry ..it just doesn't work that way!. The power of electrical current is the voltage SQUARED divided by the resistance of the load ... Now using 220 V ..which is mains voltage n..and which that blanket works out that the 70 watts has a resistance of 700 ohms. . Now replace the mains voltage...

The reason that Europe developed a reliance on Russia was HOPE. The hope was that with strong economic links that aggression would be unthinkable. Such a hope was rational,but now we see it was misguided. It assumed that Russia had basically the same mindset as the West. Since Russia was not...

The Director General or something in the CBI gave an opening speech on Sky this morning...he was setting the scene for Sunak ... . Well it's a long time since I heard such a well structured argument

I like coffee.. so yes . Would have drunk a lot . Typically now it's two Nespresso Vertuo ..the big cups per day. . No.. BP would never?? Or very rarely in Red ..it might go into the yellow orange zone after popcorn ... Cooked in rapeseed oil , but with salt. But remember those BPs are with...

The point. Is I was moderate .. BPs were like 136/ 90 yellow zone not red. and weight 95kg , and non smoking , no drinking, and all blood data was pretty good . Cholesterol elavated but not extreme. . regular blood donor. With my current statins My GP is concerned cholesterol is...

Ok. I have some inkling about these ... 11 stents and some 15 or so pills per day concentrates the mind somewhat. 1. The blood thinner needs to be taken for a year following a Stent insertion ,after which it can be stopped. This is because the stent surface provides a zone for clotting,and...

...or the reduction in beef .

"If only we'd stopped at Homo erectus." ... Yes Indeed, I blame it on these beta blockers and all these blood pressure pills. .

The old roman "Omnia Res in moderatio" .. still applies. . Human beings are designed for endurance not strength and not speed. We were not designed to take marathon running on a daily basis.the joints are not up to that. And most especially on hard paved roads. We are not designed for kneeling...
