    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Didn't make any of that up. I was asking ChatGPT about investing in geothermal projects, compared to other projects on renewables. The conversation moves to the landscape of electricy generation in the UK in 10 years time. I copied and pasted that table from ChatGPT. BTW, you should read some of...

    Most of that capacity (currently 33GW) was built in the 90s, due to be closed or phased out in the next 10 years. Remaining stations will only run as emergency backup. From 2035, 99% of electricity supply will be from renewables. If you look at the return on investment, wind, solar and even...

    You don't need to think like a civil servant to understand civil servants. They are apolitical in their work. The can only follow legal orders, have to object when given illegal orders, even the military. They serve the crown, not politicians. Democracy is to serve all the people, not just...

    We rely on gas for our electricity for decades while we should have built up more wind power at least a decade earlier, at the time of the coalition government, the only time when I liked politics in the uk. It was far from perfect but still a refreshing change from the two party system. Ever...

    What American system? They have thousands of political appointees whose job is how to use their civil service for their political agenda instead of serving the community. You would end up with litigation left right and centre. Most of the times, failure is usually a code word for not aligned to...

    Trump polls higher on security this week. Is it because Americans believe what he says on TV that people leave their cars and garage open to allow thieves to take whatever they want?

    Trump lost in appeal court yesterday. The court decided that his tariffs were illegal. I guess he already knew that even before he started his presidency but he did it anyway. He's got until mid October to take it to the supreme Court which will confirm the lower courts decision by the end of...

ChatGPT suggested up to 1TW but nowhere as much as 18TW...

    I never said that. My background is uni, 7 years, specifically physico- and electro-chemistry. Later, I taught myself electronics, both analog and digital, especially microprocessors because I was offered a job in the industry which I didn’t take because i was still doing my PhD. I discovered...

    Our production cost of solar is similar to Germany's, UK wind generated electricity is substantially cheaper. It must be down to profit and taxation policy. If the grid can take more wind, supported with more batteries, that will drive the the average price down. Here’s a crisp, like-for-like...
