I am looking at required investment at the national levels. Would we need HS2/HS3/HS4? more motorways? or put money into electric planes?

probably hydro-electric. All the small spikes can be dealt with by the trans-national interconnects. It's only when we have a conjunction of no wind, no sun, no gas, no hydrogen for days and nuclear power is down for maintenance.

how big is your garden though? (I imagine your heat pump is not attached to the house's wall).

there is no contradiction/we are in broad agreement between my post and yours. Road transport will tend to diminish and air transport increase over time, assuming we have already replaced fossil fuel with electricity.

Did you follow the link I gave you? https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#rhpas The design is very simple and should be easy to copy using a small amount of 2mm aluminium sheet (5cm W x 4cm H). Cut a piece of cardboard 5cm W x 4cm H to see if you can slide it in between the seat tube and the chain...

you only have to look at the land use of various transport methods to see where they are going. Air transport is the way of the future when we have electric planes.

yes, you can glue the magnet disc to the chainring with double-sided adhesive pads and make yourself a seat tube adapter. I make the adapter in 3 different heights to suit different bikes because of the location of the front derailleur. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#rhpas

to be fair, their excuse is while they know the case rate is up, they don't know how long the hospitals can take on Covid patients. I am pretty sure they'll do something in 5 weeks, by the end of November.

I actually learn a lot on a variety of subjects from members, at least, I am encouraged to get informed (and have my own views tested).

Much of their emission is from goods they produce for the whole world. If we add up all the emissions produced by goods we import*, our total carbon footprint would be at least doubled (2%). I agree we should buy more durable, higher quality goods. *estimated to be 449 million tonnes in 2007.

that saving is only possible if all the electricity is produced from renewable. We currently get only 43% of our electricity from renewable sources, transport and factories should be prioritised over gas boilers for going electric.

you should drop it. Most of us don't think all tories, not even BJ, are fascists. Only some ministers like Raab and Patel. Do you want to defend their points of view?

I agree with most of what you said. Heat pump would work in sparsely inhabited areas but I can't see heat pumps doing well in cities. Air of different temperature won't mix. Taking large amount of heat from the surrounding air in winter will create a lot of mini domes within a large dome of...

guerney, that was the part that I found funny, if you felt offended by my smilie, I am sorry.

OK. What did I say to offend anyone? Are you sure that the 2005 Constitutional Reform Act tried to get us out of the ECHR? Quote: The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 was an Act of the UK Parliament that was divided into three parts. The first reformed the office of Lord Chancellor, the second...

Quote: Footage of Raab uncovered by the office of the shadow justice secretary, David Lammy, from 2009 shows Raab, then a backbench MP, looking into the camera and saying: “I don’t support the Human Rights Act and I don’t believe in economic and social rights.”...

do you understand the European Conventions on Human Rights? If you do, then let's talk about why Raab wants to pull us out of there. It has less to do with sending back refugees than giving the state the power to decide against those who seek to use the act to make a claim against the state...

I may dislike BJ and disagree with a few MPs but it's just politics, have never called anyone scum.
