I believe heat pumps are not actually geo thermic. Daughter has a air sourced heat pump system, which basically takes energy from cool air and kicks it out cooler. Ground heat pumps work in same way,they need a fair amount of power to operate but will provide upto 3 to 5 times the amount...

Tell me one that meets more requirements. There isnt one. All energy sources are ultimately flawed and a compromise. Tidal is best of not such a good lot. It seems we chose the very one with most, and unsolvable issues, for essentially a quick fix, albeit a short term and seriously flawed one...

I know, I mentioned it in first post. Its called vertical wind shear. Roughly speaking at 150m you, ll get 1.3x 10m speed. (It varies with region, (trees, buildings etc) temperature and pressure. You must also take into account the slightly thinner air at 150 m, (air density has a massive affect...

Last year until around September was almost windless throughout Europe. The silly thing about Wind is that no matter how windy it is the power harvested has to be covered by equally powerful back up systems in case the wind does not blow. Thats before we look into the actual nunber of days any...

Or too windy... (Most shut down at 80km/h, 50 mph,which translates to around 40 mph ground speed, ) The vertical wind shear and the affect of tower cause serious vibration issues in stronger winds on top of over loadinng blades and gearing. Biggest con in history around wind farms. Will all...

Which millenium?

Oh, so we can achieve things when our backs are to the wall and without EU. Good post OG.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/marshall_01.shtml Think you should read this OG. Yes, we receieved most from "Marshall Plan" but who wasted it. Germany invested in infrastructure and industry. Labour squandered ours.

Notice the depression over Hull is deepening.

No he didnt. It was around French government changing rules on agricultural land. A change which was optional for Marie to conform to on land sold/purchased after law waa changed and before made compulsory. All parties knew about change at point of sale. Marie (in writing) told Notaire he would...

The attitudes you mention are exactly why we departed. (Had 9 years in Languedoc Roussilon) The resistance we faced in business matters was even worse than those with those you mentioned. I mentioned it on here months ago and got same reaction. I came to conclusion the racism we faced in South...

I hope not.

Robdon disagrees with this.????? He obviously thought it was a bad idea from OG... Dissent in Co op window..

Thats one of your better posts,you do have another kiwi trait. If he does your thinking for you and he is bad, how bad are you at it? Self effacing is an admirable trait. Goodonyer.

No, I think Blair was centrist but represented Labour party of the 90s. I do not hate socialism at all,only the excuse for it we see at moment. The sort that puts such as Diane Abott where she is, the sort which gives us the ridiculous defence policy Corbyn represents. The sort that would ruin...

And come on Flecc even the most ardent Corbynista has got to admit he, s handled proceedings terribly and shown himself and party up.

Not anti socialist I, m anti Corbyn and his corrupted view of socialism. In Vietnam there is a massive Scooter club called.... "The Anti Social (ist) Social Club". Think I, ll buy a scooter and join. Ps.. On work done.. Not sure thinking actually constitutes working in our pedantic nirvana...

Pedantic.. That's ironic. Think I, ll go back to SA. Spain soon though.

This thread has scaled new depths. Me and OG arguing over "good luck" and fingers/AK arguing over "free money" and its source. And AK proving he can speak rubbish in two languages. Brilliant.

Errr. I think he did...??
