Thank fucking god!
The UK research sector is one of the next biggest outside of the financial services sector.
Now, align standards, and get a fucking deal together with Norway over oil, offshore wind, and grid interconnectors or something that is mutually beneficial so that they don't veto entry into the EEA.
Get into the EEA, learn to take the rules that the multinational corporations and other 3rd countries do if they want to sell to the worlds 3rd largest market.
There's a small scale one in Bethesda Wales. They have a small hydroelectric generator and there's something called open-energy monitor which they can use within the energy cooperative to schedule power delivery to large load appliances like washing machines.
Cooperatives are truly the way forward for any resource that has an element of common ownership like blocks of flats and community infrastructure.
Yeah it is.
It's so bad that the Home Office is issuing quotas for "High-priority" crime which is code for solve things that make the news headlines: large scale drug busts, charging murderers, seizing large sums of cash and assets.
But they're completely deprioritising other crimes from bike theft to shoplifting to domestic violence and reducing the amount of community engagement activities.
Addressing smaller crimes and having officers engaged with the community is essential for fostering a safe environment. And here's the kicker; the more these low-level crimes go unpunished, the more high-level crimes happen are more likely to happen when fuelled by economic downturn.
They feed on toxicity, it's the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It's addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.
Mate, you're not you when you're hungry, eat a Snickers.
Most of my fellow countrymen are too thick to understand anything about this and couldn't care less.
It's an island of neanderthals and I hope I can get highly skilled enough to leave it.
And I believe comrade, that this country will not vote in a communist government. They'd sooner elect a right-wing fascist. Unless you're within the inner circle of those who manage to overthrow the government in an armed revolution, as a free thinking intellectual you'd likely be shot against a wall.
You're not wrong but neither are you entirely right.
I've worked on inverter technology, the system that transforms DC like solar power produces to AC which the national electricy grid uses.
They get more efficient, overall, with larger installations because rather than 100 separate inverter losses for solar on every roof you only have a few large scale inverters to provide power to the grid. Also they can leverage high efficiency high power technologies like Silicon Carbide MOSFETs.
Same thing with solar panels, the bigger they are the more efficient they are at converting light into usable power.
No that was called Energiewende and Ostpolitik
https://dgap.org/en/research/publications/after-ostpolitik
The TL:DR was to use cheap Russian gas to fuel the energy transition and at the same time use the economical ties to bring Russia aligned politically to the western Europe. Ostpolitik worked to unify west and east Germany so why wouldn't it work to align a post-soviet Russia?
Here's why it failed.
"Change of character to the immediate rural landscape"
So I suppose that increased burning of grain fields is more in line with the rural landscape character then?
Cos that's what's going to happen as the summers get hotter and the gap between rainfalls widen. Perfect kindling dry wheat, barley, and rapeseed make.
Maybe sheep dying of heatstroke littering the fields provides a more picturesque vista since they won't want to implement agrovoltaics to provide both the sheep shade and locals power.
Maybe when gas prices continue to rise and people are freezing in their homes come winter time they'll be warmed by the knowledge that the view of Camborne's fields go unspoiled.
It sounds like it's ripping the air molecules apart that stand in it's way because it kinda does.
Awesome machine.
Mate, you've clearly never had proper shortbread if you're putting it in C tier.
Get your sen up to Scotland and have some nice buttery crumbling shortbread.
