Re: Renewables is a reality
Russia has cut off gas supplies to Europe indefinitely. Here’s what you need to know
Who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines?
The most important thing to bear in mind is the more scarce something is, the higher the price, so no matter what the reason (Putin or running out of fossil fuels) we collectively need to move to renewable energy sources before conventional energy supplies become scarce, we don't have any choice in the matter.

Not for me thanks.

A little more reasoned view about things that you will never see on the BeeB of any MSM

Top 10 carbon polluters in the world. Knock these off the list and you will actually see some progress.
- China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released.
- United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2
- India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2
- Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2
- Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2
- Germany, 759 million tons of CO2 (set to get worse as they have closed the Nuclear power stations)
- Iran, 720 million tons of CO2
- South Korea, 659 million tons of CO2
- Saudi Arabia, 621 million tons of CO2
- Indonesia, 615 million tons of CO2
Saying we produce a small amount of CO2 always strikes me like a mafia boss saying he never killed anyone, when he's ordered many murders.

Anyway no point in replying to me as I have said we are poles apart.

I could find the same story on other websites if you like. Should I link to the story about him showing an image of Bill Gates as a Nazi on his programme - that's the very definition of sane, right?

People always say wind is 9 times cheaper than gas, but I suppose there's other calculations available.

Re: Renewables is a reality
I thought that we turned off the taps by refusing to buy it and the allowing old Uncle Sam to blow up the pipeline.
So this is what is planned & the cost will cripple most of the working class of that there is no doubt.

Re: Renewables is a reality
This idea should be priority legislation after the elections. What a fantastic idea, so simple! Local electricity production at the point of consumption and the old chestnut of energy storage is wiped away since the cars are storing the energy. No shortage of locations either in all those out of town shopping centre car parks, factories etc. Your car stays cooler so more savings not turning up the aircon full blast when you leave. Absolute simplicity just needs the politicians to put in place a suitable economic framework to make it happen. Perfect for Spain and the Mediterranean countries: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65626371

No Mark, not quite visible over the horizon from Santander 
But fair play, not something I've seen before but it is the kind of thing that governments can influence with suitable legislation. Not at all surprised that it is a certain Swedish furniture company! It's a brilliant way to repurpose existing land and slow down the rate of green field site expansions.

Re: Renewables is a reality
I agree. I remember something in Spain about a feed in tariff for generating your own solar and feeding it back into the system and I think read recently on here(?) you can't now feed more in than you use normally. Something like that. I wonder how somewhere like this at Ikea works. Maybe they just use what they generate themselves and top it up from the grid when there's not enough. In effect using all they produce and not feeding in at all.
