- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 2 weeks ago:
They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.
At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.
This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.
- Comment on The UK continues to lag behind Europe for cycling-friendly towns and cities, new data from PeopleForBikes finds. 3 weeks ago:
This country needs fucking land reforms. Gigantic ones.
Land inherited from William the Conqueror’s mates, absolutely not. Low density housing on hugely expensive land, no. Land Value tax the cunts. Any new railway station or any old railways station only high density housing/offices/ commercial can be built.
Government need massive buying to lay new railways and for above projects if LVT doesn’t work. Don’t like it? Get fucked.
Two way roads in city centre and no cycle paths fuck it. Close them make it all one way infrastructure and put cycling in. Every city, town center, railways station and bus station has to have secure bike parking. We need some more undergrounds outside London (need above density). Railways that don’t go to London need to be built again density is needed.
None of this will happen. We need voting reform first.
But I swear to God, if i had to bet on it I’m better than artificial super intelligence controlling the country is the most likely way that any decent land reform gets done.
This country sucks and it’s because of the cunts in it that only care about themselves.

Your right nothing compares to one mans anecdotal evidence.

Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.
20 years vs 14
- Comment on A large solar plant in California is closing – what does it mean for solar power? 4 weeks ago:
I think steam engines are awesome. They worked amazingly well. Ended up being superior to the German car industry during WW2and helped win the war. But everyone got to admit a diesel (and especially electric) train was always going to doom the steam engine.
This says more about how great solar voltaic is than anything else.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 4 weeks ago:
That’s batteries of the past. The rate of change in batteries has been so dramatic it has left people’s understanding behind.
Batteries will far outlive when a ICE care would have been scrapped.

No what you don’t understand is women are completely powerless and must be protected at all cost. They can’t be responsible for their own decisions. If a (female) adult wants to date another adult then it must be okayed by other people that have nothing to do with the situation. Otherwise everyone needs to step in and protect them.
I think people refer to it as equality.

Private school to pay for education.
Public school you pay for connections (education good also) see Eton.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 month ago:
State schools.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 month ago:
Agree.
But why should some kids go to elite schools just based on who their parents are?
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 month ago:
If you are smart and hard working enough you can get into the top units that not a problem.
But it’s pretty much taken as a fact that people that go to private schools will do better than if they went to a state school.
So if you get AAA* in state school, private school isn’t much benefit.
But if you going to come out with anything less or generally a troublemaker private schools might be better for you.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 month ago:
Private and public schools should be banned though.

- Comment on Call Centers Replaced Many Doctors’ Receptionists. Now, AI Is Coming for Call Centers. 1 month ago:
Honestly in some ways this is such a stupid solution to the problem.
When it comes to cost saving or on the other side of the coin efficiency. The most useful thing is to remove it not make it cheap.
We should be looking and giving people very good and easy alternatives elsewhere were they don’t need call centres at all.
I called my doctors a million times to book an appointment and if I could have done it all online I would have. This is how many times I called:
Went to hospital and Dr told me book drs appointment.
-
called to book
-
they call back asked futher questions
got one (got told to come back by doctor)
-
can’t book that doctor for the future call up first thing in the morning at our busiest and we can rush you in. (I then got a job so needed to book)
-
we have no staff call back when we do (didnt say when)
-
called. We have no appointments call be next week. “Can I book that Dr”? “I don’t know. You’ll have to call back Tuesday”
-
I’ll call back next tuesday.
This isn’t fixed with an AI this is fixed by me being able to book an appointment online. If the Dr needs to give me a slip for one booking approval to not be abused so be it. Receptionist doesn’t need to know my business so fuck them.

- Comment on Factcheck: Why expensive gas – not net-zero – is keeping UK electricity prices so high 1 month ago:
I wish I had time to read it now. But I’ll get to it tomorrow
Is there any talk on here (or elsewhere) about being able to run the grid entirely without gas. Seems like currently gas has to be running in some form even if that means turning off renewables. I haven’t heard anything concrete about fixing that. Just seems hand waving vaguely long enough into the future we don’t care.
It doesn’t seem like anyone is treating it as a big issue.

Because there would still be life in it after that

- Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night 2 months ago:
No batteries don’t count.
“The Texas Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to create a new “dispatchable” power credits trading program that would effectively require utilities, generation companies and electric cooperatives in Electric Reliability Council of Texas territory to offset new renewables and battery capacity — with an equal amount of new dispatchable capacity beginning as early as next year.
The bill’s definition of “dispatchable” excludes batteries while also exempting power generation companies that exclusively operate battery energy storage systems from the dispatchable power generation requirement.”

Man I feel like a large part of the internet is out of reach.
Why have I got to sign up for tiktok just to watch this happen?
Shit like this used to be easily finable on google or something. Now I can’t seem to find shit. All I get get in news articles about it.

The time of exposure was low. Asbestos was also outside and unbroken.
Insulation was only 1 attic.

Oh for fuck sake is this another thing you have to wear a mask for?
My fucking dad I swear to god. He knows I got asthma. He had me install insulation as a kid and remove asbestos. I got fucking tinnitus from him giving me a drill and neither of us wearing hearing protection.
- Comment on Crude oil futures end week lower as market eyes potential for increased supply amid OPEC+ tiff 2 months ago:
Yes but the trend has changed. Oil demand was growing largely due to China. That has stagnated massively. The change is trend of demand links with a change in the supply from Russia. I’m not on expert on these matters and I don’t want to come across like that.
But it seems if China didn’t stop increasing we would have had price issues.
With dropping oil prices American firms won’t want to drill. Also imports of materials has gone up and China has stopped buying American LNG.
- Comment on Crude oil futures end week lower as market eyes potential for increased supply amid OPEC+ tiff 2 months ago:
Oil is interesting at the moment. Russia has been getting cutoff for a few years from global markets and oil didn’t really rise. Maybe I missed other reasons but it seems like demand didn’t increase enough for it to matter like it would have in years gone by. China is rapidly reducing their oil demand, Europe and America are following. Renewables seem set up surge around the rest of the world.
OPEC+ is having issues with countries not sticking to quotas.
Trumps then got a lit a petrol can on fire and thrown it onto the pile and everyone else and himself which has caused economist to predict a recession which is causing oil prices to drop.
There seems like a lot of reasons for oil to drop in price and if OPEC+ sees the writing on the wall for the end of times maybe oil will drop in price further. Which ironically is worse for the things that are causing the price drop in the first place.
Personally short term I hope it just fucks over Russia.
