Will they ever be available? Completely illegal in the UK as it’d never pass the safety tests. After all, that front hitting someone would be insta-death.

I thought you’d at least have a chuckle when you realised that it was night time when you made your dumb comment.
Over the last 12 months it is 25% solar and 13% wind. The population centres on the east coast are worse than WA, SA and TAS in that regard.
Yes, 45% of coal generated electricity is awful, but you were still incorrect in saying Australia is doing nothing.
A collosal solar farm and transmission cable to Singapore is under construction which is will be a great achievement when complete.

I’m no fan of Musk, but what ties exactly?

Norway regularly has very high energy prices… in fact, they’re so high they want to cut exports.
The reason they’re high is because of the grid in other countries being hit by low wind or grey sky days, pushing up the minimum pricing that they’re also subjected to by being part of the same grid.

There are other cables as well. One of them runs through the chunnel. The UK regularly gets upto 10% of its supply from France (seasonal, time, cost dependant)

The sun doesn’t shine at night. Have a look when it is daytime there and you’ll see upwards of 60% of their electricity is solar.
Or use the EM site and check for past statistics.
- Comment on FCC Eyes Making Carriers Unlock All Phones Within 60 Days Of Purchase 7 months ago:
Not a thing in the UK either, perhaps due to an EU law. It’s quite nice buying a handset and shoving any SIM in.
