While I hate this protectionism and hope it will ultimately fail, as ever this cloud if it comes to pass has a silver lining. One thing that has held back e-bike development is where the motor goes, front wheel, back wheel, crank unit, friction drive onto tyre, downtube, elsewhere with separate...

You're probably aware of all the experiments in powering ships from wind with sails, wind turbines and rotor sails, so they can be sailed. There's seven wind power concepts on this link .

Not too dissimilar to wind turbines then. .

What about Woosh releasing big bears into the wild? Not to mention Wisper intending to do the same with wild cats. .

The amazing improvements are only very recent and have been in the public relations and marketing departments. All the previous efforts over many years by their technical department had proved unproductive, necessitating a different approach to the problem. .

But the EU is us. Trump is them. .

Good to learn somewhere is a bit better, the population declines have been depressing, most parts of Europe including the UK suffering very severe losses of all small arthropods. Many species of birds too in consequence. .

Splattered all over the front of vehicles? That's something I haven't experienced for many years anywhere I've travelled. .

A long running German study shows a 75% loss of all insects over a 27 year period up to 2015. The total loss since those days you mention must be over 90%, one very rarely has to scrape off an insect now. .

I doubt he thought that since my complaint was more politely informative than in any way angry. The law on dog control isn't one for all circumstances, but the rulings for N.I are on this link. .

One of my two aggressive dogs incidents: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/this-guy-and-his-jack-russell-what-should-i-do.26776/#post-355232 .

RSF = Royal Space Force (if they are to protect satellites) But maybe your RBF is more in keeping with our defence budget: Royal Balloon Force. ;) .

This YouTube link will give Jimmy all he needs to know about the Gazelle Innergy battery. .

That was just a scare story. We will be part of Galileo and paying for it permanently, just don't tell the Brexiters. Can't use the Royal Air Force to protect it in space though, unless they have an RAF (Airless Division) or RSF. .

The USA still hasn't let up on this issue. Although the rest of the world gave in with the UN building, they did get their own way with both UNESCO and the UNHCR, the former in Paris and the latter in Geneva. The USA shows its dislike of this by frequently not paying their dues, justified by...

That sounds like revisionism! Whether Rockefeller gave the land or not is immaterial, the facts were as I stated, that the majority preference was Switzerland, overridden by the USA as a condition of their membership. It was a parallel of the situation with the League of Nations pre WW2. That...

This cannot ever happen due to Israeli policy, which is to wipe out all record of the Palestinian name and Palestinian existence in a deliberate form of ethnic cleansing. The government and Jewish people of Israel refuse to use the name Palestinian, always referring to them as Arabs. When the...

My "Like" is for the photos, not approval for you being shot! :) .

The UN was crippled at the outset by the USA. All other countries wanted it to be based in Switzerland to be truly neutral, but the USA insisted it would have to be in their country or they wouldn't support it. And ever since they've flexed their muscles over it, for example having never paid...

Yes, fantastic feat. It took courage to end up back in Poland too, considering all the much nicer places he could have stopped off instead. ;) .
