    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Interesting economic analysis of renewables vs traditional re electricity prices from a PhD economist, from 10:00 at Myth no.3. Does US really have 7, 8, 9c/kwh juice, or is that wholesale? Eh, if only! :-)

    Informative but he's not as funny as he thinks he is. So maybe watch at 125% speed to avoid yawns! :-)

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Windmill company demands extra 70% subsidy to continue.. coz its so "sustainable"! :-) I like the quote in the comments: "Only the most incompetent Gov could transform an island made of coal and surrounded by fish, into one with industries in neither" (paraphrased from Aneurin Bevan)

    Think i might need talking down..

    Cool bike. 8-) Looks similar to a Phatmoto Rover. Is that a 2nd bottom bracket posn, or for a motor jackshaft?

    Major incident declared at London Luton airport after huge fire breaks out

    Showing actual temperature of burning petrol in alloy piston, in his garage, on wooden table, next to laptop. Pretty confident? (Spoiler, no damage or collapse) He also explains the burned "diesel" f150's on transporter as actually hybrids, oops. Also check Macmasters Battery Porsche Taycan...

    Major incident declared at London Luton airport after huge fire breaks out

    This is more like it. Private jets consume HALF the aviation fuel (jetA, posh diesel) in the world! And the EU gave them (and Yachts) an exemption from "Carbon Tax". Go figure 8-)

    Major incident declared at London Luton airport after huge fire breaks out

    Theories abound on the real identity of the car? Stories of similar fires not covered or disappearing from media sites. Stranger & stranger, but no way a diesel fire collapsed a car park. So... 8-)

    Major incident declared at London Luton airport after huge fire breaks out

    Maybe it's a HVO vehicle? Chip oil is illegal.. But if it's called HVO then it's pat on the back time :-) https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2023/1009/1409806-dublin-airports-hvo-supplies/

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Allied Irish Bank tried it on here, announced cashless branches. Every customer started to move to other banks, and they quickly dropped it, for now.. Walk into any business and say "Cash is King" and see them smile. :-)...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Official figure 3k people. Looks less like 300. But then "official" figures seem to be out by a factor of at least ten these days. :-)

    Sadiq Khan's cargo and e-bike plan now that ULEZ has expanded to all London boroughs

    This "old" clip reveals they only used to "fluff" the tunnels once every six years, yuk! And where's the tunnel cleaning machines? C'mon Mr Dyson, this is up your alley. 8-)

    Sadiq Khan's cargo and e-bike plan now that ULEZ has expanded to all London boroughs

    Mere "propaganda" I'm sure. Everyone knows steam trains smoke is healthy. That's why so many people still light up their tobacco pipes and breath it in. :-)

    Sadiq Khan's cargo and e-bike plan now that ULEZ has expanded to all London boroughs

    https://youtube.com/shorts/gzQnr9Z-_9E?si=3DN_qkpIGjqnnh7T Yes, they stayed with "steam locomotives", kept it old school, none of this new-fangled electric rubbish. Like Londonium overall, founded in 50AD, it has hardly changed at all since then, coz it just "isn't possible"? :-)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If one were to take those figures at face value. All one has to do reduce debt in half is to stop taxing people, yes? Haha, only joking, I'm sure you meant that the richest people pay the least tax (by avoidance I'm sure, they wouldn't evade, would they?). So tax people less, they get richer...

    Sadiq Khan's cargo and e-bike plan now that ULEZ has expanded to all London boroughs

    Now they could have left the Underground as it was.. But despite its "age and historic tunnel design", 400 fires later, "cleaning and modernising" was eventually done. Now it just needs more Cleaning and Air Filtration.
