so you do like to keep the solar farms?
I am typing this while on child minding duty in Paris atm. It's 14th July, military airplanes did a few minute flypass this morning.
Nationalise the Water, Solar Flaps, and Windmills..paid for them already.
That's if some haven't nicked all the copper out of them first!
Well done Grandaddy, bully for you, santé.
Did the planes make condensation, chemical or just "smoke" trails? ;)

It's the quatorze juillet fête nationale, aka Bastille Day, holiday in France today.
"There are other possible places than the Bastille, but it is the symbol of those prisons where people were locked up without trial. "

Like the so called Jan6 "insurrectionists" that were held without trial, jailed after show trials by King Bidet, and then 1,270 freed by bad Orange man.

The two situations are completely different. Trump only accepts the result of an election if he won. If he lost, the other side must have cheated. It's the same with the Epstein file. Obama and Clinton must have written it.
Give it 16 months, you'll see if he still claims that he is cheated again at the mid term legislatives.

Did you ever find those "missing" 20 million demo-krat voters. It is now said they never existed in 2024.
Did they just stay home?
It would have been a fantastic turnout if they had. Maybe over 100%, like in Ireland.
Shamrock emoji :D

I remember Harris gracefully congratulated DJT shortly after the count, as soon as the swing states declared the winners.
Harris has never suggested any cheat or missing votes.

Another take on the Spanish Portuguese Power collapse :-/
China uses its trade surpluses to buy up European businesses, especially in renewables to help with selling Chinese wind turbines and solar panels to Europeans. What a surprise!

Trump's tariffs are going to be tested very soon.
US inflation begins to rise, Canada, China and the BRICS, and now the EU are ready to retaliate.

Not enough grid or generating capacity for even 80 new homes and some want us to charge a million electric vehicles.. ha! Dream on :oops:
It's not a new problem, here we had years of numerous power cuts after we moved into our new 3000 home estate from 1967 until the early 1980s, simply because the power network couldn't get the current from the eastern side of the country to south central England. In the end a hugely expensive tunnel was dug across a long stretch of South East England to carry the cables.

Don't fret about charging a million e-vehicles though, we already have well over a million battery e-cars alone, plus large numbers of e-vans and a huge fleet of e-buses.

Please try to remember, most of their charging is done in the night when most of us are asleep and not using current, so theres plenty then. That's why it costs as little as 5p per unit then to try to get more takers. Will this never sink in?

Now ? Right now, yes and absolutely.

But this is effectively new, with more countries and mainly their populations realizing that climate change is real and now presenting serious problems around the world.

So for domestic use, we'll all be driving electric, and as investment builds and more take up E-cars, investment will skyrocket and allow the infrastructure will be built to meet demand. If that involves more power generation, including fossil fuel*

*fossil fuel power stations.
Currently we(in the UK have fossil fuel power generation along with 34 million vehicles(cars, vans, taxis etc.
Cut 34 million fossil fuel burning vehicles then we could even build more fossil fuel power stations and it would still be an immense saving on Co2 etc emissions

Well never stop using fossil fuel for ships, making plastics and all the other things can be made from it, as it is an important resource, but we can cut down on its use and keep it for the above uses.

I suppose when dealing with this subject, critical thinking skills are important, so you dont sound like some low iq conspiracy nutter
