I think I've got COVID for the last 10 days, still have it, and I have had one Pfizer shot. What is the probability that I am going to die?

It's a good deal for Trump and he is proven right. Shafting your friends is the easiest step.

Merz is centre right. He's conservative and liberal. Definitely not a leftie. Why do you think he's left? Is it because he worked for big multinationals? Or because he's pro-EU? Merz often stresses that social welfare should not create dependency. He supports incentivising work over welfare...

You are automatically so negative about European centre right politics. I assume he's not right enough for you. For most Germans, he's a bit too much to the right. He's won, didn't he? He's run into some opposition because he came back on the promise of respecting the spending limit. Germany...

I think it's best to start with your last sentence and walk backward. 1. As for renewables being better at managing load variations than the inertia of rotating mass - it isn't, and you were saying the opposite two days ago. The reason for that blackout is the sudden drop in supply that...

I think we are still paying for early mistakes. It's unfortunate but going back to fossil fuel does not remove the previous mistakes. Soundwave 's installed solar panels must have cost the council more than £7k. It's now pretty worthless. I am about the only one on here happy with a cheap 5kw...

Are you condonning what Grzegorz Braun did? Quote: Braun has already been barred from parliament sessions through October after he disrupted a minute of silence for Holocaust victims earlier in the year. In December 2023, Braun used a fire extinguisher to put out menorah candles lit for...

that's incorrect. Let's talk through point by point. 1. But solar panels are made *with* coal, not "than", just in another country. Coal was the backbone of China's energy mix until last year, but no longer. In 2024, China added: Solar PV: 170 GW Wind: 90 GW Coal: 40 GW China has net zero...

Reform doesn't create legitimate grievances like illegal immigration, high cost of living, housing crisis, high energy prices but deviously exploits them. It brought us nothing good.

... can't you bring yourself to accept that electricity from solar is cheaper than from coal in most parts of the world, including Ireland?

The Levelised Cost of Energy is about 5p per kWH (roughly hydro: 2p, onshore wind: 2p, solar: 2p, offshore wind: 5p, gas: 7p, nuclear: 12p) but you can see we pay a lot more than our neighbours like Sweden for energy, but why? 1. Sweden has communal heating. Swedes spend less on electricity...

Her presentation of the facts is incorrect. I am not a fan of ChatGPT but I find it a pretty useful tool to gather quickly reliable, verifiable data. The price we pay for electricity and gas is based on margin pricing. That is the highest price paid to a supplier in the preceeding 6 months...

Scholz has been pretty unlucky. He keeps the ship steady, managed the soft landing for German auto industries. I have family living in the Rhur, I have seen the decline of the steel industries. I like him a lot more then Merz but Merz is the right man for Germany at the moment.

Temporary setback. 9 of his coalition abstained. Merz has a couple of weeks to work on them. He'll be Kanzler before the two weeks run out. As for the AfD, Trump and Vance show Europeans what an European Trump can do to their economy.

Let's assume Starmer sets up a tent city in Cumbria for 50,000 illegal immigrants. He already has the rights to confine them there, as long as they are fed and kept healthy. Would we have solved the housing crisis? Doctors appointments? More school places for children with special needs? Cheaper...

There is only one possible solution, do the jobs that immigrants do for us.

Do you know that UK government subsidises fossil fuels more than renewables? Just ask ChatGPT. Fossil Fuel Subsidies Support Since 2015: Between 2015 and 2023, fossil fuel producers in the UK received £20 billion more in government support compared to renewable energy producers. This support...

Successive governments during my entire time in the UK since MT ignore the issue of legal immigration. You know already that illegal immigration has only a small part in impacting the scarcity of resources. If you subtract those who given leave to stay (75% of those who came illegally), the...

There are plenty of articles about the blackout. No amount of stabilisers can compensate for 60% (18gw solar, 27gw total) drop in supply in 15 seconds because the feed got cut-off. As for subsidies on renewables, show me the facts.

You are definitely not fact driven, are you? Countries invest in renewables because their cost of production is typically half the cost of gas fired electricity. It's that simple. Also, it gives them independence. The cost of renewables are so low that its selling price often goes negative in...
