rcdo double bott or rose tint glasses ?

Is a bit long..something for the weekend maybe...shows what slimy toads politicians are.

Brewers try their Armstead emulsion for ceilings good stuff....I use Sikkens rubbol primer and top gloss for outside these days, pricey but very durable.

Market v painful for those long income holds :(

And lotto numbers please...

Yes it did and the dangerous stuff was brought to Selafield, some of which is now strewn along the beaches of Cumbria . The Germans arent stupid.

Cause Double CO2 Emissions Of Poorest 50%...

Red Thanks,
I can't think why you want to defend the Nuclear industry on here, its costing billions that could be going into clean renewables.
It's not about major incidents god forbid... but the endless leaks and releases into the enviroment, these contain alpha emitting radionuclides that are very dangerous if you inhale them, they wind up in mud deposits along beaches and become airboune as dust.
The effects of alpha particles inside the body are well understood, they cause cancer through dna damage.

If there ever is a major nuclear incident that renders parts of this country uninhabitable those living nearby will loose everything, insurance wont pay, you're on your own. doesn't bear thinking about.

Hinkley should have tested for alpha emmiters.

Hinkley and Sizewell delays contributed to ‘unsurprising’ Wylfa demise.....

“Unattractive prospect”
“Not economically viable“...
“Propping up this dying industry“.
“Death knell for nuclear projects.
“No longer stack up.“
Should be turned into a skateboard park.
Stop wasting our money.

Thanks Pete, some goods points there and I agree about naff design choices, they seem to go out of their way to make
noddy bread van shapes suitable for the next dumb and dumber movie.

I find this guys channel very interesting.

Energy firms want the right to switch off electric cars charging at home.....

Come on you lot !!.... Derren brown made a living from this stuff...

They need to sell you Hybrids....you know the self charging ones..that use fossil fuel.

tm yes its a puzzle, broadly from my own experience those stats are correct, but depend on the range of the car, eg today drove my wifes (only 22kw) bev 150 miles, from home 85% charged, arrived at destination 5% remain, charged to 85% 20mins & had lunch..left late afternoon stopped appx half way put another 30miles on 10mins to get home as would have been short, car back on charge journey cost 1.85p not incuding home charge (mostly solar) Obviously the car isnt intended for long jouneys buy I enjoy the challenge.
tm I dont really see it as unnecessary meddling with the grid, its mostly already there in situ to be used.

Pete I think its deliberate, they need to sell you what you dont need first, same with computers. the ads are working people
think Hybrid is the answer infact its the next diesel the worst of both worlds and fossil fuel still dominant, it just buys them time to retool, they could never meet the demand for fcev or bev otherwise.

Res EV charging activity by location................
Home -87%
Work - 8%
Destination - 4%
En route - 1%

Piston engine vehicle fueling activity by location................
Home -0%
Work - 0%
Destination - 0%
En route - 100%

Tyson...An electric motor typically is between 85% and 90% efficient. That means it converts that percentage of the electricity provided to it into useful work.
Piston engine vehicles only convert about 17%–21% of their energy to power at the wheels.
Along with all surplus wind and solar currently thrown away will be stored as H2 to power the grid when required.

Steady on tm.... where do they get these numbers "2.8 million public EV chargers required"

Number of petrol stations in the United Kingdom is 8,385
whereas well need 2.800.000 EV charge points ?
23 million dwellings in the UK...half have accessible 240v sockets ? thats where majority of charging happens overnight.

Hope you get your fcev, for me as long as its not its not fossil I happy.
