Only when renewables can take over. We can't have the lights to go out. Rachel Glaving made out as if Miliband is going to close power stations. The main enemy of her nuclear reactors is gas, not renewables. Nuclear is so expensive that can only be used as third line, after gas.

I did read the article, Miliband did not say anything about shutting down gas fired power stations. Gas has been the cheapest source of power for a long time and should continue to be so for another generation (in the US, an oil barrel equivalent in gas costs only $12) until we have enough...

we shut down the last coal fired power station, not a nuclear reactor. # Her comment is a little self serving.

Let's go straight to EVs. The issue is clean air, nobody wants to live next to a waste processing centre that our cities have become.

I must say I too, am not convinced. His cars do not notice a lot of things and Musk still does not want to equip his cars with Lidar. Until he does, his cars can only estimate distances, not measure so can't see properly. Until they do, the car's AI can't predict accurately what humans...

Musk launched his robotaxi and showed off his Model 2 yesterday. Did you watch Vance Walz debate?

It would probably take you longer to replace the rack than repairing it. You would have to remove the controller box or the controller from the old rack and transfer it to the new rack. To repair the broken tube you may need to insert a bent round aluminium rod to line up both sides of the...

If anyone has any doubt about how quickly artificial intelligence has been delveloped, you should watch a few yt videos about chatGPT's latest o1 release. It can beat PhD students in physics and their professors in problem solving. Google DeepMind now designs AI chips by itself. If you ever...

Prices of EVs in the UK are still way too high. EVs should be much cheaper to make than ICE equivalents and that has not happened yet. Tesla model 2 with aluminium-ion battery will be on sale in the US for as little as $7000. The battery can be charged in minutes and last all the car's lifetime.

Brilliant!

Only two burned in last year flood, not a great risk considering that the cars are already submerged in water.

From the Herald Tribune: There were 21 electric vehicle-related fires after Hurricane Ian in 2022 and two EV battery fires due to the floodwaters that followed Hurricane Idalia in 2023.

Even ice cars are write-offs after being submerged in salty water.

This is a quote from the report: The product may contain an unsuitable fuse. You may say that is extreme but imagine for a moment what can happen if the charger's mains lead does not have a fuse. The tracks on the charger's PCB become the fuse. If there is not enough separation between the...

I know you invite critical thinking but even Fox News' own poll shows Harris leading Trump by 3 points in Georgia. Harris also leads in NV, PA and WI and even may win Florida.

for me, the reason why the British economy stagnates is the over reliance on the banks. We bet our house on the big four banks, litterally, since MT was in power. When the crisis of 2008 arrived, Gordon Brown has little choice than supporting the banks. The consequence of that is the...

Nobody complains about charging your phone with USB-C port standardisation for example. My experience is standardisation brings costs down.

I remember professor John Curtis told bbc1 a few days before the brexit vote that brexit has edged ahead in the last week or two.

Rasmussen poll the same people, about 6% more republicans than Democrats. The vast majority of pollsters give Harris 4% lead over Trump who seems now more bizarre than ever before. He's claimed at his last rally that women have always loved him and he is now their protector.

Trump is less likely to win in 6 weeks. Harris is leading by 6 points in overall votes and leads Trump in popularity. Trump and Vance may even be arrested before the election if the Haitians of Springfield Ohio win in Court. Haitian nonprofit files longshot charges against Trump, Vance over...
