Off Topic The Science Only Thread

Technology Department - Project Engineering Division. Major proportion of activities centred on the detectors (principally the ATLAS and CMS) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva Switzerland. Completed involvement with both detectors in 2009.

Extract from the CV of one of the candidates that responded to an advert I'm running

 

Spoiler alert, that was @Tobes

 

Oh no it wasn't.

 

You sure?

 

It can't be Sisu.....

Them wind farms should be producing power like mad now, the warmer it gets the more cheap, renewable power we will have

(unless of course, the wind is outside the limited operating parameters of the turbines )

 

It's the wrong kind of wind

 

Ah right

 

Producing 12% of the nations consumption today

What site is that from (seriously), I am struggling to find input data on the national grid site just real time and projected demand.

 

BTW check out the info on that page. The 12% (4.4GW) is only the metered wind power. There is about another 2.2GW of unmetered wind power that bypasses the grid and powers things directly.

His data sources are listed and referenced on the page - BMreports

 

Had that open for 10 mins now and all I get is LOADING DATA
