that 3p-4p cost is applicable to the new large scale wind farms, inclusive of maintenance and decommissioning. If you knock down an old wind turbine, you can sell the recovered metal. It's not contaminated like a nuclear power station. Apparently, you can recover the cost of dismantlement by...

do I detect that brexiters are pro coal burning and anti renewable energy?

Wind farms run on average at about 25% maximum output, so it's normal to see them as lazy but as a matter of fact, they are now very competitive.

you should look at yearly production. According to RenewableUK, the average cost of generating electricity from large scale onshore wind is now around three to four pence per kilowatt hour, competitive with new coal (2.5 - 4.5 pence) and cheaper than new nuclear (4 - 7 pence). Wind farms are...

GB imports electricity from France and the NL, that won't change anytime soon. A no deal brexit would probably keep the import duty at zero rate bur there may be higher 'grid access' charge. Access rules and specifications may remain under ECJ to use the interconnectors.

No, I have already moved the saddle to the lowest setting. The additional problem is short aged ladies don't like tiptoeing. A few even insist to have both feet anchored at stops.

Fox has a difficult job to do. He has to convince the believers that it's the EU's fault that he's achieved nothing in nearly 3 years.

the Sahara has 700C (28 inch) wheels, not a good fit for small riders. Its 7AH battery is also a bit low The Kudos Sprint has 24" wheels, better battery, is nicer to ride and also lighter. You may want to replace the saddle with a sprung saddle. How much does the bus fare cost per year...

there may be a serious point to test the real 'will of the people' by having a no deal brexit so that we can all witness what will happen to the value of the Pound, the cost of food and how well the NHS copes with a month of chaos. It will also split the conservatives from top to bottom, just in...

Not as much discount as that. The most advantageous schemes are self administered schemes, your employer buys the bike and pass on to you all the benefit of the scheme. You save about 40% compared to paying out of your take home pay. Most scheme providers levy about 10% charge from the client...

you can't separate producers of oranges from those of other fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, cheese, sheep and cows etc. that's why brexiters lack of credibility in peddling for WTO. You pick and choose one product to make a policy on it then choose another product to make a different policy...

Peter Ungphakorn who wrote that blog makes promises that no sane government can deliver without negotiation. It follows in the footstep of other hard brexiters, making promises. If we don't charge duty on Spanish oranges then what do we get in return without a deal?

we buy oranges from different countries for a reason.

@James, you can check WTO tariff on citruses from their database here: http://tariffdata.wto.org/ The IFS has a more balanced technical note on what happens if we were going for WTO brexit here: 'The Customs Union, tariff reductions and consumer prices '...

I did and you are still wrong. in the absence of a trade deal, our government has to apply tariff to protect local producers and charge at least the current tariff. that's the current default position until parliament says otherwise. The default tariff is 34% on orange juice from MFNs while...

I am used to the difference. If you want to do business in France, you need to retain the services of a lawyer (avocat) and an accountant (expert comptable). Don't try to skimp on that, even if you know the law very well. Most French lawyers and comptables will give friendly advice for a drink...

your friend may have confused the status 'terrain constructible' (or muni d'un certificat d'urbanisme) which lasts indefinitely (subject to zonal changes) and building permit (permis de construire) which is limited to 2 years before 2016, now 3 years. After that, it must be renewed annually...

you are wrong on oranges. We buy about half of our oranges from Spain, another half mostly from South Africa. We pay zero duty on Spanish oranges and about 12% on average on South African oranges at the moment. After a no deal brexit, we have to charge duty on all oranges prior to concluding any...

which failing businesses?

they are testing you with 'anti-EU opinion forming' material. Apparently, you resisted.
