"PublishedJan 14 2026 In these auctions, participants present bids stating how much they’d need to be paid per megawatt in return for building a wind farm. The government guarantees to winners that they will receive the clearing price for 20 years, no matter the actual market price over that...

You'll be pleased to hear our present government is moving towards more fixed bid prices for renewable contracts, instead of having the market price governed by gas. When renewables are so plentiful that gas is not needed, the gas price is irrelevant. Perhaps we will make standby payments...

For another purpose, I had an overflow that discharged through the ceiling over the bath. Not an elegant solution. If you can insulate the duct, with the fan starting with the light switch, so it starts running before you turn the taps on, and has a timed run-on afterwards, let's hope it...

Not much wind today, but Solar, at 12.54GW, exceeds Gas at 4.29. This time last year, Gas was around 12. Solar, over the last month, has typically peaked between 10 and 14. Compared to last year, it's off the scale. Last years Solar chart only went up to 5. We're going to need a bigger chart.

I don't agree that Israel's racism should be considered a hobby.

Explain your sources please.

What information did you gather to decide that?

If you're not in a hurry, you can straighten it with persistent pressure. Loop a rope or band round the top, and pull it in the direction you want it to go. The load must be semi-pemanent. Two methods I know Use a slightly stretchy material, like these woven ratchet tie-downs. Put a stake...

Israel's policy of assassinating journalists is intended to prevent the truth getting out.

Is that intended to support your opinion the young people in the past didn't want the best life they could?

Poor old Billy resorts to inventing his own fantasies Because he can't face up to the fact that a man who pretends to be a woman is not entitled to demand access to spaces and events reserved exclusively for women. Because he isn't one.

"Decent chaps" says @Highway Man

Just killing schoolgirls, unarmed grannies, and deliberately destroying water supplies and sewage works with the avowed intention of spreading polio and other diseases which are especially effective in killing infants, the frail and elderly. You are very forgiving of Israel's crimes against...

It is better controlled now than when it was performed by back-street abortionists in their grimy kitchen using a crochet hook or a wire coathanger.

I've seen no evidence to support that opinion.

I used to use soil pipe, which is readily available in long lengths, with fittings, and very sturdy, but, annoyingly, some brands of fan now have spigots that will not fit inside it. You can buy rigid duct from HVAC suppliers, including insulated versions. I really don't like the convoluted...

The handbook says, for your diesel, 10W/40 You do not live in the Arctic or in the Sahara, so why wouldn't you? At one time I had a vehicle that needed 5W/40, it was rarely seen and rather expensive. Full synthetics have the advantage of lasting longer between changes, at higher cost, but you...

Punished for being found out.

@highwayman will tell you that the Israeli army doesn't do such things, therefore they didn't happen, therefore Israelis are decent chaps.
