Reform 2025 Limited new name same business

[mind your car Mr?]

The sun is always shining. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how solar panels work.

The sun is always shining, are you sure, it goes dark where I live at night

Meanwhile these is this idiot who thinks Mayor of London means you run the world.

I’ve changed my mind, I don’t think tweety is a nuclear physicist.

Correct, I was actually a nuclear chemist. I worked on the fast reactor at Dounraey until the early 90s, then safety case work on pwr, agr and magnox reactors until retirement. I have authored and co authored several peer reviewed papers published in scientific journals during my career, so I probably have more knowledge than the people chatting shit on this thread

The UK has had an incoherent energy policy for decades and the rush for renewables will probably be the final nail in the coffin.

How did you end up thick as pig shit?, genuine question btw.

Insults generally suggest that you've lost the argument or never had one in the first place. I've just read some of the drivel you've posted on the Southport terrorist thread, bad faith.
It's a sunny day, ask your mother to let you out of her basement, have a walk and cool down.

 

[give it to gordon]

Reform are in charge of Kent County Council.
I know of one of them who doesn't know how to send emails or indeed how to open them.
I get a feeling this is going to be a car crash.

I hope not serious!

A bit like Reform's backing for Musk's plan to send a rocket to the sun. "But won't it burn up?"

"That's the clever thing. We're going at night."

Who's paying for all the decontamination and eternal storage costs?

JRM reported to be flirting with the idea of joining Reform Ltd on the very principled grounds that he has no chance of re-election as a Tory but stands a chance of winning as a Reform candidate.

They do work best in direct sunlight the photons jump about a bit more, last week solar provided almost 16% of our electricity supply which has got to be good news in anybodies book. only trouble being we do need fossil fuel back up capacity at least for the foreseeable future. The less we have to burn obviously better for us and the planet only beef I've got is we have these fossil fuels in the UK why the fuck aren't we continuing to exploit them inside of bringing them in. We have some of the best coal in the world but when British steel needed coking coal we have to fetch in from Australia work that one out.

Of course they work best in direct sunlight. But they're also efficient in cloudy weather. It's not just good news, it's wonderful news when you consider it was an embryonic technology less than twenty years ago. It's come on leaps and bounds. As evidenced by the picture posted a few pages back, oftentimes its output will be ~40-50%. Even with output ~5%, it's still a worthy energy source; to put that into perspective, that 5% figure would be enough to power the whole of Greater Manchester. All renewable energy sources, in the here and now, should be used supplementarily. Fossil fuels are still needed, but the need to transition to renewable is far more pressing.

Some think that advocates of renewable are all tree huggers who eat tofu and walk around barefoot; but it's not just a case of cutting carbon emissions and being kinder to the planet: the reality is this, one day fossil fuels will run out. Poof, they will be gone. Conservative estimates put that fateful expiry date about sixty years from now, and if we haven't harnessed the full potential of renewable by that point, then you can kiss goodbye to your great-grandchildren leading any kind of normal life.

Thankfully, people much smarter than I or anyone on this forum are working tirelessly to avert such a catastrophe.

Me, I've been working tirelessly reducing carbon emissions for the last quarter of a century :-) and we've got a long way to go. On the fossil fuel front they are finite and back in the 60s we were supposed to run out by 2000 proven and unproven reserves are increasing the more we can generate with renewables the longer they'll last for different uses though. Solar is the way forward along with tidal and wind we are surrounded by water after all.

never understood how an Island Nation like us hasn't got loads of tidal powered energy. It would be like Iceland saying "nope we don't need geothermal energy we are going to build ourselves a couple of nuclear power stations"

why do so many of them fail so badly with "are" and "our"? And who goes to an illiterate tattooist?

Me neither always seemed a no brainer, unless the seas are to difficult to control when they get upset in winter.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

:) You may be right. You think the quality of politicians in the UK would improve with PR?

I think the quality of politicians would improve if we didn’t have a system where in around half the seats the quality of the candidates bears no relation to the outcome.

I’m not sure it’s the system at fault for that, at least not anymore.

Tidal is a logistical nightmare. And the infrastructure costs are astounding.
