“Goodbye Rare Earths”: UK Scientists Unveil Ultra-Cheap, Flexible Solar Cell That Could Transform Global Energy Production - Rude Baguette

IN A NUTSHELL Flexible solar films developed by the University of Sheffield are lightweight and can be applied to a variety of surfaces. These films utilize an innovative design by embossing tiny grooves into plastic, eliminating the need for rare-earth materials. The technology is a result...

"Sea temperatures have dropped 10degC in Eastern tropical Pacific in last two weeks"
That'll be "global boiling", yeah?
Wheels falling off the wagon.. Haha :cool:

na the wagon fell off the wheels we just need more solar panels and to block out the sun for even more power :p

if there that bloody stupid next will be we have no choice but to blow up the sun the earth will be destroyed but global warming will get sorted for the rest of time ;)

Where did you get that story from? Which area of the Pacific?

This shows how government misinformation works. Every person I know, who has direct dealings with them, says they're too expensive and don't provide enough heat unless you spend a fortune on electricity to keep them running day and night, yet when you do a Google search, every "authoritative source" says how fantastic they are and how much money they save. That article I linked above shows how those dealing in fuel poverty have deep concerns over them, and see this extract below from Energy Action Scotland annual paper on fuel poverty monitoring, where they say people are cancelling installations after advice from the council:

"Moving towards a low-carbon heating technology can therefore result in a greater level of everyday affordability pressures as well as a high upfront cost. Several CfE respondents discussed the implications of this for fuel poor households both now, and in the future. For example, one English local authority described how they “advise customers about the running costs of switching to low-carbon heating”, but that “this has led to a number of aborted jobs as it is not cost effective for the householder to switch from gas to a heat pump.” A charity working directly with fuel poor households across England also told us that “we are experiencing difficulties in trying to move people from gas to electric heating due to the unaffordability of electric.” Others described situations such as those in Astrid’s story (below), where very vulnerable households had been promised an equivalence in running costs with their previous system ahead of an installation, only for the reality to be very different. While ongoing research such as BEIS’s Electrification of Heat demonstrator is attempting to establish the conditions in which electric heating can be cost competitive with gas, it is evident that the running costs of electric systems are a major barrier to moving fuel poor households towards low-carbon heating"

but you use more electric and pay more tax cut the power stations and pump up the prices like cosmic power :p

0 to 6milliom mph 0.1sec total power consumption at that power is 1 star over 50 million years= 1 enneagon cube
