Few years ago I got a speeding ticket in London even though I hadn't been there in years . Didn't take much sorting, at first thought car had been cloned, but in actual fact one of digits had been misread, by coincidence both cars same model and colour. Wasn't a problem , they quickly realised I...

Danid Google Capacity Factor. I think you are getting it confused with efficiency. They are different. If you have used the Variable Pitch Fraisthorpe site ( which are same as figures you quote) the figures quoted are misleading. They are Capacity Factors, not efficiency. Also have a look at...

Yes , on reflection might be better to simply forget last referendum, have a new one and actually determine real level of support on either side...but insist on a 60% vote for a decision.??? On a personal note , I couldn't care less about the lies from.leave, I took all the rhetoric from both...

I don't think it would ccreate that much angst if we had another referendum, with the proviso that a larger majority should be insisted upon...and if not attained we follow result of last referendum.

I,ve been out sailing all day at Fraisthorpe ! I could not answer Danid any better than Tillson did, whose reply about our erratic wind in UK was ( IMHO) right. However, to add my thoughts. Yes the wind in Uk is erratic , with reference to the subject.ie) its too erratic to build our energy...

No I didn't pick it. The government did. There are two massive coastal wind farms there. ( One at Fraisthorpe,another 4 miles away at Beeford) and the offshore farm is visible from beach at Fraisthorpe.( about 5 miles SE ) Obviously there are windier places in UK , but wind farms are not unique...

Spain is blessed with numerous reliable winds( Marin, Tramontane etc Uk get none of these)and plenty of places where turbines can benefit from both thermal and adiabatic winds. ( Eg Tarifa...the windsurf capital of Europe has had massive farms for years) The Canaries benefit from similar effects...

And there lies the problem. No matter how qualified as an engineer you cant extract energy where there is none! Perhaps nuclear energy are being truthful. ? Like I said to Danid, just look out your window. Over 80% of days in UK are under 10 mph. Fact. Either your turbines have to work fully at...

Yes engineers use m/s, sailors tend to use knots and windsurfers mph in UK and kmh in Europe...no idea why. And your point re wind speed / energy is obviously correct...but it reinforces my point about power generated at low wind speeds.( ie at 8mph turbine will generate about 1/20th of optimum...

Typical windstrength for wind turbine operation Minimum working wind needed ..8mph Optimum is 30 mph Max is 50 mph, at which they are feathered / shut down. As wind energy increases to speed off its movement squared.( ie double wind, you can create 4 x energy, its easy to see at 8mph they...

Why not introduce stricter limits on exhaust and make sure this time tests represent reality. Its being optimistic to the extreme thinking we can condemn the ICE engine to the scrap heap at a politicians whim . A politician BTW who doesn't even know what he,s talking about on his own chosen...

Hybrid cars are a way of giving insane performance and soothing the green brigades indignation. Take the BMW I8, superb car. 200 plus bhp from a 3 cylinder turbo nutter engine, and another 100 plus from the e system..0 to 60 in around 4 seconds and claims of 135 mpg...Its utter lies. On a recent...

Agreed.

Would it be any bigger than wave of antagonism we are witnessing now OG ?? Besides, so what. Somebody is going to be cheesed off whatever happens, we,d be better making right choice ; suffering moaning from whichever side . Fact is ( again) nobody has conviction to actually offer stopping Brexit...

Well at least we all sink together...sheep, remainers...the lot of us...

I think you are right ( again!) but its one thing saying mentioned path is a possible outcome but quite another wanting it, as some seem to. IMHO there are two reasons the next few years ( ???) are likely to be a disaster. A) Present governments inability to handle Brexit. B) Oppositions...

With all respect, that's a ludicrous argument. Firstly, leaver or remainer we are all in it together, laying blame at voters is pointless, especially when what is probably a majority are being ignored. The trouble is nobody at all is representing remain, in a so called democracy that is simply...

Playing long game ? Its second half of extra time with 5 minutes remaining ! If he doesn't do something soon its simply too late ! Will he campaign next time on "getting into EU"? The maths has been in his favour since last June and is even more so now.. Even if worse thing happened and labour...

Suppose it depends if you are talking about penii in the town or penis in the word . Or how pedantic you are feeling ?

Same person who put " penis" in Penistone.
