Interesting article. I read that maybe last week. The thing about the conclusion re heavy elements is that we need to treat single observations and research 'findings' with a bit of caution when they seem to go against established theories. Quite often pretty dramatic and unexpected findings turn out to be more about bad measurements and mistaken calculations. Not always of course, but often. I remember a right load of excitement about thirty some years ago when a team announced that they had successfully created cold fusion energy. It seemed like we had discovered a way to make infinite , clean, free energy - we hadn't. This stuff happens quite often - hence my urge to caution.

As an aside - we are REALLY REALLY lucky that we can take the light from an event like an exploding star or just any old star and put it through a prism and see the absorption lines on the spectrum which show where different elements have absorbed the light. We get a sort of DNA profile of what the star is made of and how much of each element it has in it. It is a fantastic stroke of luck to be able to point a telescope at a star and read the stripes in the spectrum and can know what it is made of. I mean - how lucky is that?

For example - the sun is 70% hydrogen by mass, and 27% helium with 3% 65 other elements.

Dear Stroud District Council,

please could you provide me information as to what is going to happen with these houses in Hardwicke to make them energy efficient buy 2028 as have been told this will be impossible as to there construction and life left in them from a report in 2018.

Non-Traditional Homes Summary Property Review February 2018
chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.stroud.gov.uk/media/640067/d...

as other councils are just demolishing these homes as not cost effective to under pin them and have them bricked up and made energy efficient buy 2028.

also can you provide me with the total number of council homes that you have that would need extensive work done to them to make them compliant buy 2028 with a a,b,c rating because buy law can not be rented out or sold with a mortgage.

also what will happen to the tenements while this work is completed because if they are on some benefits a change of address will mean a change in there circumstances and would loose there migration protection if on pip esa would mean loosing this and a new uc claim started and will have to retake a medical to get the pip part of this back and can take 2 years and a loss of income because they will loose there migration protection.

will theses ppl get any sort of compensation from the council corporation registered at dun and brad street as a corporation for profit as this will be a government corporation decision also registered at the same site as a corporation for profit same as all government body's.

Yours faithfully,

pita :p

Solar panels are known to degrade over time. The guys selling the panels say 0.5% per year, the manufacturers guarantee is 1% and the analysts say 0.8%. If you went with 0.8%, after ten years you'd be getting 92% of what you got in year one; however, you have to add a few percent of generation because of the increase in energy from the sun if you swallow the story of global warming, and you have to subtract about 20% if you believe that the deep state are spoiling our weather with chemtrails.

The big problem of degradation of solar panels output is more likely to do with dust and muck settling on them. A few of those days when Saharan dust is settling and the output must fall judging by the state of my car on those days.

On the roof, they aren't that easy to clean up.

They're self-cleaning. I've never cleaned mine and they have no dirt at all on them despite the pigeons roosting on them and shitting all over them because I always have bird food put out in my garden. I see the occasional pigeon **** on them, but it's always gone the next time I look.

"The interesting thing is that humans have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that 2,400 gigatonnes of carbon (our total emissions since pre-industrial times) might make a difference to climate, but very readily get behind the idea of a few hygroscopic flares making 18 months worth of rain fall in a day."
