Prices of the electricity we use to charge
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Better expressed as pleased the Tories are not returning, not at Starmer winning.
As other have said in here, we are stuffed anyway.
.
The Tories have shown themselves to be a largely useless, divided, and foolish rabble.
Aside from some matters relating to the handling of vaccine procurement during the pandemic which in any case was the success of others appointed to do the job (NOT NHS England or the Dept of Health) they failed at everything, largely because Politics. Philosophy and Economics graduates, lawyers and bankers don't know about anything useful. What we need are better people with real and useful skills. Especially, we do NOT need ideologues. Ideology is at the root of most of the failure and vice we see all over the world. We need technocrats - basing their policy on pragmatism, evidence and the ability to change one's mind when the evidence indicates that something different would work better.
Another highly flawed system is the way ministers are dropped into jobs they know nothing about and expected to dictate policy. Then they are swapped around a few months later. Which company would do that with their top managers? Which company would even appoint such people to carry out what are technical roles in most cases.
The whole of Parliament is STUFFED with the worst kinds of people for the job in hand. Most of them have no clue how to do anything but talk, lie, obfuscate and cover their own backs - oh they seem good at braying like donkeys when members of other parties speak. They disgust me -mostly.

Novara REACTS To BBC's Sunak vs Starmer Election Debate

"Labour wants to make UK a clean energy superpower. Will this help those stuck in fuel poverty?"
"Electricity Prices in France Just Turned Negative Because of Renewables"
"Electricity Prices in France Just Turned Negative Because of Renewables"
They're not stupid, nor foolish and they didn't fail in any of their objectives. They simply did what they were told, just like when they all got up and walked out of Parliament when Andrew Bridgen made his speech. When you see the big picture, it all makes sense. The only question is whether you're happy with it and what you're going to do if you're not happy.

Lavishly funded Moderna hits safety problems in bold bid to revolutionize medicine
Moderna Therapeutics, the most highly valued private company in biotech, has run into troubling safety problems with its most ambitious therapy, STAT found.
www.statnews.com
Dose too little, and you don’t get enough enzyme to affect the disease; dose too much, and the drug is too toxic for patients.
Did you see any facemasks in hospital? I saw several worn by very elderly people in the waiting room last week, while I was waiting to be prescribed antibiotics to treat an infected wound - out in less than 30 minutes clutching a prescription. Fastest A&E visit ever! Luckily I was seen by a doctor instead of a nurse for the initial assessment; heart doctor standing in because they were short staffed, else I'd have been waiting many hours. She said I should quit vaping nicotine, to lower blood pressure.

Record seven out of ten Britons say: 'We don't like the Tories,' bombshell new poll
Exclusive Ipsos poll for The Standard showed the Conservatives are on a joint record low of just 19 per cent

Our new “mega-poll” gives Labour an expected majority of 280 seats
It puts the Conservatives on a record-low 76 seats, with the Liberal Democrats and Reform UK making gains

I asked ChatGpt the question:
"Why do LiFePO4 batteries have a lower energy density than other Lithium battery technologies." and this is what it said -
'LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries are less energy dense compared to other lithium-ion battery chemistries due to several inherent material and electrochemical characteristics:
1. **Lower Voltage**: The nominal voltage of LiFePO4 cells is typically around 3.2-3.3 volts per cell, compared to other lithium-ion chemistries like LiCoO2 (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) which have a nominal voltage of around 3.6-3.7 volts per cell. The lower voltage translates to less energy stored per unit of weight or volume.
2. **Material Density**: The active materials used in LiFePO4 batteries (iron phosphate) have a higher molecular weight compared to materials used in other lithium-ion batteries like cobalt oxide or nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC). This higher molecular weight contributes to a lower overall energy density.
3. **Crystal Structure**: The olivine crystal structure of LiFePO4 provides excellent thermal stability and long cycle life but at the cost of lower energy density. This structure is less efficient in terms of energy storage compared to the layered structures of other lithium-ion chemistries.
4. **Electrode Design**: The design and manufacturing of electrodes in LiFePO4 batteries are optimized for safety, longevity, and power density rather than energy density. This results in thicker electrodes with lower energy per unit volume compared to other chemistries which may use thinner electrodes to maximize energy storage.
5. **Electrochemical Potential**: The electrochemical potential of the iron-phosphate redox couple is inherently lower than that of other materials used in lithium-ion batteries, such as cobalt oxide or nickel-based chemistries. This lower potential limits the energy density achievable by LiFePO4 batteries.
Despite their lower energy density, LiFePO4 batteries offer significant advantages such as improved safety, longer cycle life, better thermal stability, and environmental friendliness. These attributes make them well-suited for applications where these factors are prioritized over energy density, such as in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage, and certain consumer electronics.'
END
These AI machines are quite an amazing resource already and they are getting vastly better every few months. It is a lot better than browsing through long lists of links, many of which are trying to sell you something, and probably most of which don't answer your actual question.

The Daily Mirror is a filthy Labour rag. NOTHING in it is either fair, or honest. The same is true by degrees of many other papers. The Daily Mail and the Daily Express are fomulaic distortion machines. Systematic dishonesty disgusts me. All the mentioned papers are no better than Putin's media.Furious Martin Lewis lashes out at Tory video of him - 'no where' did I say that

The truth as always, lies somewhere between the extremes - hidden by systematic liars. Sadly, our Parliamentary system favours the same sort of distortion. Labour says something, Tories automatically object, and usually lie and twist to disarm whatever it was that was said. Of course Labour does EXACTLY the same thing.Whatever the Conservatives did or announced, had to be automatically wrong and was trashed by them, even when it was right for the country. Neither side is innocent of this. Sunac is lying about the £2000 tax hike he keeps going on about.
NONE of this will help us solve our problems. Parliament is adversarial and not fit for purpose. Politicians worthy of the job would come together to analyse exactly what the problems are and how to fix them. They can't do that because of the confrontational system that lies at the heart of our constitution. This leaves whichever party is in power ENTIRELY impotent - especially when having lost the votes in the Parliament, the opposition turn to courts of law and unelected. judges.
Saneagle was right further up when he said something like, 'We are all stuffed.' I'd have used a stronger word than stuffed.

I agree. I've always been a sceptic. The meaning of the term AI changed over the decades, but the general uselessness of whatever 'AI' was at the time seemed to be constant. Then, almost suddenly, a brilliantly useful resource. As long as you remember to use the results very carefully.
