    The Chinese make over 70% of the World's power windmills, you would think they would keep all that free energy for themselves instead of buying up Biden's strategic oil reserves & being Putin's best customer.

    They have developing country status so burn as much coal as they want

    Would gladly see the bloke jailed for life but if he’s done the time a judge has decided he’s deserved plus a bit more then there’s no real rationale for keeping him in if the parole board don’t consider him dangerous.

    I’m not wriggling from anything. The most important two words in my initial civil reply to custard was “IN TIME”.
    Have a read of the attached and then come back to me with your expert analysis. It’s only the government’s strategy but hey what do they know <doh>

    Not sure you’re correct there. According to the data I have, the largest supplier is a Danish company Vestas.

    I copied the first 8 from the list,
    Global Top 15 Wind Turbine Manufacturers in 2022
    • Vestas Wind Systems.
    • Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.
    • GE Renewable Energy.
    • Goldwind.
    • Envision Energy.
    • Mingyang.
    • Nordex.
    • Windey.

    I thought this'd be good for laugh. He's a thick as ****, but doesn't actually realise it, so anyone wanting an example of the Dunning Kruger effect is going to get a worked example. <laugh>

    'I'm not wriggling' he says, and then wriggles away from his initial daft claim not once, but twice, just as predicted.

    Back to the point you're definitely not trying to wriggle away from, no siree, 'IN TIME' would be when the transmission system is capable of taking the full capacity from the turbines, which would mean it's not available for hydrogen, you ****ing thick twat. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Your best bet is to man up and admit that you picked a poor example with the Scottish situation I raised, and move on to a different system, as that is really where you should be trying to argue.

    See, I'm trying to help you here. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Hang on, he's googling for someone to give him his informed opinion.

    He may just push a mop and bucket, but in doing that he's playing his part in putting a man on the moon you know. <laugh>

    Your earlier numbers seem rather off based on that link but I appreciate the insight. It’s important.

    It's heading towards carbon credits to further control the useless eaters , offsetting the destruction companies like Shell & BP cause & blaming us for driving or going on planes.

    BP has a better ESG score than Tezla though because they hire more coloured women & have a rainbow flag logo .

    The companies that have signed up for 'green' energy draw more power than green energy produces. A good percentage of the carbon* offsets are no such thing, as the schemes in question can be over subscribed, or haven't met their own design spec, as for example the number of planted trees reaching maturity is far lower than predicted.

    There doesn't seem to be much in the way of checking these things, so it tends to be a paper exercise rather than a meaningful way of reducing carbon* which in itself is debatable on its effectiveness in altering the change in temperatures, and that's according to the science that underpins the IPPC reports.


    (*which should be CO2, as carbon on its own would have zero impact on the atmosphere, unless it was a pure cloud of it blocking or reflecting sunlight dependent on it being in a form nearer to coal or diamond which would make it quite different to current claims)

    It's quite telling how we seamlessly transition from covid to climate change with the fear porn & lucrative government contracts

    Oo, what a dilemma for the binary thinkers. Come on, pick a side. It's not as if these dichotomies weren't predicted. <laugh>

    They also have legs longer on one side so that when they are not on the mountainside and are on level ground, it looks like they learning, and thus look shorter than their actual 5'9" height. Honestly. :bandit:

    Because they know Electric Vehicles are totally unfeasable to replace all the IC vehicles on the roads.
    Charging space and time alone makes the whole idea rediculouse so they are preparing for the inevitable switch to hydrogen cell conversions.
