Regarding the carbon cycle and whether or not you have enough trees growing to replace those being burnt, we could apply any given hypotheses to the carbon cycle in general, including fossil fuels. What will probably happen is that we will take the human race to extinction before the last...

"So per MW a PWR requires - 694/1000 = 0.694 tons per MW A 3MW wind turbine requires - 4.7/3 = 1.56 tons per mw so per MW wind turbines require just over half as much as a conventional nuclear power station." I think it's the other way round....???? To be fair, you did cast aspersions on...

Well it sounds as though when this AI stuff gets it's act together we will be proper shafted......

Ask John at EH Spencers in Shipston.

I make that 42..........

The battle between logic and reality.....One might think it would be better to say to the populace "be nice to each other", than say "if you do that it's naughty but unless you have the brain power of a mollusc it's highly unlikely that you will be sanctioned for your behaviour".

I don't think I accused any one of anything, but if so, mea culpa. As someone else pointed out, is it not ludicrous to spend time and money on something that will never recoup those costs, given that it's obvious before the fact?

Good point....

That's a bit unnecessary

Yes indeed, and has anyone got a list of said laws and the cost of bringing them into law? The mind boggles...

I bought a new(ish) diesel car a few years ago and have put 250K miles on it. No expense spared on maintenance. Running cost per annum is currently working out at less than a fifth of what I would pay to lease hire or PCP the new equivalent. It still does exactly what it always has, then only...

I agree, I wouldn't really want to be in any vehicle that was hit by a bus and I'm sure the stats you quoted on safety ratings are correct. The safety aspect was not top of my list when buying the vehicle that I use for work. It most certainly is a consideration when looking at vehicles for the...

The building regulations for insulation are still woefully short at 100mm. Also, I would suggest that you have a wander round one of the big house basher sites when its nice and deserted. They use third party building regulation inspectors, not the local council ones. Quite often they know when...

Agreed, and having driven many thousands of miles on African 'roads' in some of a certain Soilhull based carmakers earlier products, sometimes the spike isn't necessary, the seats and the suspension suffice.

I have no particular banner to wave on this, other than to say that I am a fervent supporter of doing what we can to mitigate the damage that we as a race have done to our planet. But I would like to make a couple of observations: On "cars should be smaller": cars are larger these days...

The 'cradle' probably refers to proprietary levelling cradles that carry the joists, and the 'brace' to noggins.........

Pilot drill no bigger than 6mm, straight to 13mm, going up a few mm at at a time just ruins your drill bits, speed slower than you think (about 600 rpm) and slower than a lot of drills will do. Rule of thumb for mild steel about a foot per second surface speed, but varies hugely as there are...

I have Nord VPN on multiple devices and on a flashed high end router connected as a secondary in the house. It occasionally causes issues on my laptops and PC but easily resolved. Its never caused any issues running on the router, it uses UK based servers unless I go in and change the...

I will comment on the machete "fight"...... It's absolutely typical of this country that the youth of today can't even do bladed weapon fighting properly. Any self respecting Mexican machete exponent would just p*ss themselves laughing....... This list of things that this country can be...

I have one of the Dewalt ones mentioned by someone further up. It was purchased for doing up M20 Stover nuts on hot elevator chains It has sheared wheel studs……
