The problem is that fossil use is going up not down, co2 is going up not down. Yes, absolute global fossil fuel consumption and production continue to rise The key trends driving this include: Record Overall Demand: Total global energy and electricity consumption is surging, particularly in...

So if I just pretend the facts dont exist that will fix climate change.

Yes that would be nice, but even a Manhatten style world effort for the next thirty years wouldnt touch it, theyre running out of equipment for data centres already. I dont own shares in BP you know, I just post the reality, I couldnt give a t0ZZ if all the oil barons went bust, except maybe...

When factoring in petrol and diesel for vehicles alongside gas for heating, fossil fuels still meet approximately three-quarters (75%) of total UK energy use If you add in biomass burning at Dax its 80% Those are the facts, if facts are propaganda, then welcome to politics.

I understand the lure of 'cheapest at generation' But holding your breath is cheaper than scuba gear. An Oxford calculation estimated to power the UK by wind alone would require the worlds turbine fleet, every lake converted to hydro storage and the entire land criss crossed with hundreds of...

As usual, you are talking about electrical demand. Which is 18% of energy use. To go net zero all fossil needs to be replaced with electricity. They endlessy blur this with headlines that are misleading by omission. Solar makes no power for 70% of the year, wind for 40%. To power the world by...

I think you need to research it all a bit more, we need a completely new grid.,battery storage gives hours of backup

Ah I see what you did,.. yes that convenient cherry picking is the industry and political norm. At generation.... implementing in the grid we have makes it the most expensive and unreliable power production we have. Because fossil is so cheap and reliable it becomes a political tool, wars...

Coal power stations emit more radiation than nuclear plants. Its a funny world. I presume you were referring to accidents. Its not widely known that the UK constructed the first commercial nuclear power plant and soon after had Europes first nuclear meltdown...

They estimate 30 thousand of them to power the world. I still stand by the 90s suggestion of wind mountains, 5000ft high cone structures that spin slowly with huge amounts of inertia. They would provide stable continous power and last hundreds of years, you could build entire cities in them...

I fully endorse this epic nerdiness

This Welsh Valley ride by embns Steve Jones is pure pleasure and interesting too I need to get down there

Most of my night riding is after getting kicked out of the pub at closing time.

Good news, Specialized have backed down and given Gary a replacement battery for free, no warranty whatsoever of course. My concern is where the company being ultra cautious and running a BMS that deaded the battery with the slightest issue, and will companies push for a more accomodating...

I get Darvo used against me on a regular basis. I can now reliably detect the first move and my favourite response is to instantly lean over the person and whisper 'go fkk yourself' in their ear. It contains public reaction and any reaction looks like them starting it. This sounds like...

Headline in the Mail today. Looks like dodgy Dave from sales was in charge.

Heres a vid I posted today, go to the last minute and youll see me descend at 30mph into a little village. It looks insanely fast to be careering into it, but its the speed limit. Without my noisy tyres and everyone being able to do that speed on the flat....

First saw grits back in 95 Daytona. Trying to get the chef to put baked beans on the plate. He gave us a look like we'd ordered fried axle grease.

I always hide my gun in Museums

The best thing about Texas is you dont need a spirit level to build a house
