surely other countries with significant renewables do this far better?

thanks i will take some time to read these. Somehow we're accidentally making a case that going green is ridiculously expensive. You can say 'look how much renewable electricity we produce' but someone in (say) the US can reasonably say 'yeah but look at how expensive it is'

i had heard this but i really can't bend my mind around it. what was the rationale? To provide incentive to the windfarm operators?

I understand far better the cost of war, what I don't understand is why our renewables don't (yet) provide as much protection from price volatility as would be ideal

So I was hoping someone who does understand it better would be able to help explain it

No I don't think you've understood the premise of what I was asking. Which is why does is UK energy so comparatively expensive, while when have been relatively successful in rolling out renewables. Something in the UK market mechanism is involved, and don't understand that mechanism.

That's an answer to a question but not the question I was asking

What I don't get, is why if we have so much renewables, is our energy (especially for industrial customers) so bloody expensive? What's the issue with the pricing?

yeah he's right, it's the due alarm is my bigger problem if im honest

Very good reading

Blimey he's aged fast!

Let's at least call them by their actual name though. Taiwanese Fans

MPs say Starmer’s UK-EU reset lacks ‘direction, definition and drive’ Foreign affairs committee report finds summit improved political relationship but efforts lack ‘strategic priorities’

NEW: Keir Starmers attempt to reset relationship with the EU lacks direction, definition and drive - foreign affairs select committee report on the UK/EU relationship.

im not sure I really understand why they're choosing a line, that seems wildly out of step with most of their readership (beyond just bashing starmer). Dont get me wrong bashing Starmer is fun, and super easy to do for lots of completely valid reasons but this probably isnt one of them

Could fact the it seems like it's on fire topside, and doesn't appear to be listing suggest an UAV rather than a USV? or are we pretty confident it the latter?

As a not Canadian. Did this guy not get his arse handed to him by carney last year? How is he still a thing? Like in the UK he'd be toast but apparently he's still giving it the big I am, but he's basically just a random bloke.

If I was the Iranian leadership I would probably think about canning the all hands meetinga for a while.

the Russians are keen on safety features though right? contingency plans, fail safes etc? they're big on that sort of thing?

can i get an expert opinion on the 'explodiness' of LNG tankers please?

For this to be really credible, France (and/or the UK) would need substantially larger nuclear forces than we currently have

You better believe it. These are defensive bombs sir. The Air Launched Cruise Missiles on the B52s will only launch if the detect threating vibes. That. Is. Fact.

@sodrock.bsky.social bombing to....defend?

Defensive strategic bombing is very very common. Happens all the time. Nothing to see here. At. All

A very good resource for those interested in such topics
