    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BBC Business Live this morning confirmed that more than £1 trillion of assets have been transferred out of the country since the referendum. The winners are: Frankfurt, Paris, Dublin. I wonder who are the losers.

    what do you expect? our government wants brexit but needs the EU to make it painless.

    likely but it has to wait until the 11th hour. will there be a brave MP to start that motion? the right wing press will give them hell.

    I agree with 50Hertz. His joke backfires because (almost) nobody laughs but there is a ring of truth. Politicians are paid to do a job with huge responsibility. Even if they can't see into the future, they should still be able to plan ahead and guide us to safety and prosperity. Tusk has always...

    indeed. the right wing press and brexiteers regularly call JC Juncker a drunk, Donald Tusk un-elected nazi etc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Donald Tusk has to chair heads of state meeting after meeting. I guess after 5 years (he is President of the European Council since 2014), Tusk is a bit jaded. watch him in the last episode of Inside Europe: 10 years of turmoil on BBC2, you can see time after time, Tusk locked the doors of his...

    Donald Tusk: “There is a special place in Hell for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan for how to carry it out safely.” An official later clarified that he was only suggesting they would go to the special place in Hell after they die, not immediately.

    I think JC is becoming more consistent on brexit. He has never been hot on remaining, 7 out of 10 like he said before the vote, it's the lesser bad choice of the two. As potential PM, he has to take into account of the 52/48. a referendum at the moment won't be clear cut, in 2022, it would be. I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think that they filter much - it's easy for the public to buy into the anti EU rhetoric, the EU helps it very well with all the crises that it has to deal with: Greek false public accounts, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Irish debt, Eurozone Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), terrorist...

    another amusing titbit: except the error (1000 x 21. = 21,000.), the rest seems perfectly believable.

    the sale of recycled metal covers most of the cost of decommissioning and may be replaced with taller ones.

    that's in the past. Wind energy has come a long way. It's now one of the cheapest. Nuclear and coal LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) go up. Wind and solar continue to decrease.

    wind speed increases rapidly with height. Tall turbines are much more productive for that reason. The graph below illustrates the gain by increasing the height of your turbine.

    that's why there is a need to expand the European electricity interconnects. Estimated UK LCOE for projects starting in 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source On shore Wind: £62 / MWH Solar: £80 Nuclear: £93 Gas: £66 For reference, coal: £134/MHW

    I think they are sawn into small sections and put to landfill at the moment. My guess they can dissolve the resin and recover the CF for burning when that process is proven (Veolia is trying to do that).
