The Idirans were right all along.
It's fine but a proposal to do something without the political will to make any of the difficult compromises required to achieve them is meaningless.
I mean, ok, fine guys but this is just more empty gestures from a club of empty heads in the GroenLinks/PvdA clown-car. I don't recall that they were against (in fact they were in favour) of the removal of the 30% tax…
Which of those references are obscure?
This is a terrible article, written by someone who is either dishonest or doesn't know what they're talking about and has never been to London, covering a paper that appears to be reasonably well done but has some…
>And while they are shutting down coal, they still have a huge former coal plant that is now burning biomass in London. That's a single plant that powers most of London. Do you mean Drax? That's nowhere near London.…
Which damage? The electricity system has done most of its decarbonising under either the coalition or Conservative governments, they used quite a lot of the machinery (the CfDs, capacity market, etc) setup at the end of…
The timelines for encyclopaedia article contributions, editing and publishing are such that I highly doubt that an encyclopaedia bought in 2024 has much if any LLM generated content. I wouldn't want to make that bet for…
Part of the problem is that heat pumps aren't really well suited to a use case where you frequently have to bring a house up to temp in the way you're describing. If you have a big overnight set-back and then the…
London as well, or at least broke even. (Although of course this is complicated to assess and contested). Same reason, all infrastructure was either already there or usable after (the Olympic stadium was sold to a…
I think this is a dumb idea, but come on, all prosecutions are retroactive.
There's a policy decision to cover as much as possible of the operating costs of the network from fares rather than government funding. The operating costs of UK trains per passenger-km is actually pretty competitive to…
There's a huge amount of North-South capacity being built as part of the holistic network design programme which will unlock a lot of capacity and substantially reduce curtailment.
We (an engineering consultancy, so not software but physical infrastructure) have an internal ChatGPT so that people can use it for work. I find that it is quite good at answering textbook type questions and giving…
Plea bargains are heavily restricted in the UK and many of these cases were heard in Crown courts. I agree about getting rid of private prosecutions though.
There's broadly two reasons for this: One, the evidence for it being a carcinogen remains relatively weak compared to many other substances we know of. It's in that category of chemicals where possible effects show up…
The Polish wholesale power price is above even what nuclear power costs to deliver in higher-cost UK and US markets on an LCOE basis (not that LCOE is a great way of comparing power costs but there it is).
PGE will finance it on-balance sheet, the way they would a coal plant. Most likely there will be US export finance for the elements coming from the US but most spend on big nuclear plants is local. >The recent nuclear…
In many places (but not the US because of thermostat standards) HVAC systems are now typically inverter driven as well so that does remove some of the advantages of three-phase since any individual load is single-phase…
The US also uses a different primary network configuration, typically running a three-phase network as main primary with single phase primary laterals. The pole-mount single-phase transformers then turn this…
There are no "EU citizens" only citizens of EU member countries. None of those countries have freedom of speech as expansive as Americans but Americans in practice also don't have absolute freedom of speech. 1) Certain…
Not in practice, no. Companies were provided with a regulatory position statement from the EA that they would not usually be prosecuted if they ran out of treatment chemicals due to something that wasn't their fault. In…
To be fair, while all of those things are true (and in fact the poor state of many rivers is more due to farming and to fully consented but still high-nitrate effluents from waste water treatment than to CSOs) the…
Nobody will build a heat-pump system with an on/off control system like that because the performance will be awful. Certainly not an air-to-water system.
Ireland has very hard water for the most part so I don't think that'd be the reason.
