Trump: President Putin wants to have peace now. And that's good. And he didn't want to have peace with Biden. You tell me why that is? Reporter: Do you future in which Ukraine returns to its pre-2014 borders? Trump: It certainly would seem to be unlikely. They took a lot of land and they...

So they can appear on GBeebies, instead of voting in parliament on an immigration related bill? As happened this week.

You mean make he and his billionaire friends richer at the expense of everyone else.

No, just two usb-a's

Thank you for confirming!

Could be right, but thought I would check with you guys whether there were anything I should check before buying another one.

Thank you for replying. The cable works on other sockets.

I have a number of mk usb double sockets in use downstairs without issue. However, when we fitted one upstairs, it worked for a while, then the usb stopped charging our phones, or any other device. Thought it was a socket fault, so replaced it with another mk socket, and this one won't work on...

The video embedded here is a good explanation of the issue with gas for Europe and the UK. Remember, we are part of the energy market with Europe still, and with Russian gas being stopped, that has put a squeeze on what we (UK & Europe) can use and store. We have increased LNG imports (US &...

Dinosaurs were around for about 180million years. To be generous, humans have been around for less than 1% of that. We don't need to colonise Mars to solve any problem, because there is no problem it would solve that you can't solve more easily and cheaply on Earth. Want to just explore Mars...

So buy a bike instead? Campaign for better cycle infrastructure......

Your world view needs updating: https://www.komatsu.com/en/products/trucks/electric-drive-mining-trucks/ Decarbonising is not just for end users. As for cobalt, that's used in petrol cars as well (catalysts), and various other parts of a car, and other domestic applications. Tesla are moving...

Do you feel strongly about that?

So Mottie will be voting for Lib Dems next election?

Nothing wrong with atheism.

There would still be intermittency, which would either have to be covered by a boiler (fossil fuels/biomass or nuclear), or storage. And it would have to provide those peak demands at neap tide multiple times a year, and when the tidal patterns of multiple sites provide the minimal amount of...

It is very economic as baseload. Which is why countries with many nuclear power stations have generally cheap electricity. We will always need baseload supply. Its a common claim that it's uneconomic, but this is based on levelised cost, which is a poor way of measuring it. An in depth...

So why did you quote an IEA report? There is a floor to how cheap an energy source can get. But when an intermittent supply requires too much storage to maintain constant supply, it becomes uneconomic. Which is why countries are building nuclear. Nuclear supplies baseload supply, because...

The cost of renewables will always be high when the % of grid penetration requires large storage.
