    Can this be true - new / old labor be careful what you ask for with welcoming turn coats as it may not turn out well with the resident momentum band

    We need to start charging by the letter for thread titles.

    Israel (not) banned from Eurovision Song Contest (Ed.)

    They're got last place in the bag.

    Wind Turbines

    I did. Since that image is from early 2022 and my post is from late 2022 I don't see any contradiction here. It is a niche market given the tiny volumes in question.

    Wind Turbines

    An excellent post if I say so myself.

    Yes, then we pointed out that they are now being recycled.

    If you haven't already read it, Prisoners of geography is an excellent read.

    Wind Turbines

    Has there ever been a successful hydrogen based project? There must be but I'm struggling to think of any. The Hindenburg worked for a while but it had a few issues in the end. Since then it's been downhill. SMRs aren't expected to be cheaper than large nuclear, ever. No one involved in them is...

    Wind Turbines

    It won't, because if we wanted those nuclear plants to be online by 2050 we'd need to be planning them now. It's only 26 years away. Hinkle Point C was announced in 2010 and is currently due for 2027, so maybe before 2030. Electric HGVs are already a thing. Although I'm not sure why anyone...

    Manslaughter... or not

    The old idiot that scared the cyclist into the road is definitely responsible, but as you say that doesn't mean criminally responsible. How it has worked out seems reasonable to me, meaning to or not she took a life. But manslaughter doesn't feel like the right description.

    Wind Turbines

    Imaginary reactors are very flexible in location. No one is predicting commercial thorium power before 2030-35. By then they'll be up against sodium batteries and PV that's even cheaper than it is now. Betting on nuclear is like announcing a new breed of faster cart horses after the Model A has...

    Zion and the Art of Armageddon

    Interestingly that very famous photo was entirely legal and within the laws of war. The man being shot was a Vietcong soldier out of uniform.

    Zion and the Art of Armageddon

    You're wrong on this, the level of press freedom in Gaza is massively worse than in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other war waged by a NATO force. Israel is not following usual practice for western nations, they are following Russian/Dictatorship rules.

    Zion and the Art of Armageddon

    https://www.theonion.com/israel-accuses-al-jazeera-of-being-mouthpiece-for-journ-1851458525 Israel treat news as another part of the war. Independent journalists are a threat, which is why they are blocked from the area, twrget d when in the area and stripped of protection when critical of Israel.

    Zion and the Art of Armageddon

    The IDF has occupied the crossing into Egypt, which is near where roughly a million Gazan refugees are sheltering under tents. Aid through the crossing has been stopped.

    Tesla magic running low

    I really liked the yearly generation chart. I knew that there were seasonal variances for wind but that chart helped picture the difference, and the positive relationship between solar and wind, far more clearly
