Yep.

With the odd discrete prod from Putin.

Bad news for the environment. While China, whatever one might think of the regime, may have the most coal-fired power stations, it is pushing ahead with renewable energy. Trump however will likely rip up any existing agreements in that regard.

Of course we do. Human nature dictates that every tribe has to have a leader. Our ancestors fought with clubs and flint knives over who got the best women and the best food. It's just a matter of scale. Now we have Putin, Xi and (God help us) quite possibly Trump, and all the other despots. The...

I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for James Dyson who scuttled off to Singapore and is now one of the biggest 'farmers'* in the UK. *If you can call buying up farmland as a means of avoiding tax 'farming'.

It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks whoever wins. I'm glad I'm this side of the pond.

Tribalism has existed since the dawn of man. Banding together to fight over territory, waterholes, best hunting or whatever. We are not so different from our ancestors.

LOL Not wound up at all. Having a great day. You have one too and stop obsessing about us.

Yep.

Time will tell. See you in five years. (Hopefully 😉)

Good morning Tony. Did we get out of bed on the wrong side again? Give us a kiss 💋. Despite apparently having a brain less than the size of a ferret, I'm going to give Starmer a little longer than the scant few months he's had in office before I make a judgement. He's got a bit of a mess to...

However, at the heart of an EV is an electric drive system that is much, much less complex than a modern ICE. It's the software, sensors and electronics that frightens me. Like most of us old 'uns here, I'm sure, I used to maintain my car myself back in the old days. Fortunately my wife worked...

So that just leaves the smoke pollution then.

I'm surprised to see you advocating wood stoves. Burning wood just doesn't seem very environmentally friendly to me. I asked Google "Is burning wood polluting?" and got pages and pages saying it is bad for the environment and bad for your health.

There are battery storage facilities around the world with capacities of hundreds of megawatt hours. Even larger ones of gigawatt hour size are under construction. Someone really needs to drag you kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Yes, it's a shame no one is working on storage solutions for still days and when the sun isn't shining.

I was a smoker for a long time. I resolved to give up when I saw, in a shaft of sunlight, a tendril of smoke from my cigarette snaking up my five year-old son's nose as he sat on my lap watching TV. I was horrified. I think a lot of it was association; get in the car - light up a cig, fire up...

Don't give up the day job Tony.

I suppose it's not as bad as being accused of reading the Daily Mail.

Hey! I read that paper. I feel quite insulted.
