Well done wind

[fillyboy]

A recent article showed how Shakleton was forced to get the Endurance because it was cheaper than the bigger, stronger icebreakers of the time. Only £14k. He had doubts about the ships strength to cope with pack ice, and it turned out he was right. Still; there wouldn't be that epic trek across the Southern Ocean if he'd been able to afford a bigger boat.

I thought the first picture was Endurance but it turns out to be the Cutty Sark, SS Great Britain has coal fired steam though. I'm building a model of Endurance, will get back on it during the winter months.

Your mask is slipping

You have got completely wrong. That is pretty typical for you though.

Which bit is wrong ?

I reckon that, given their heavily biased posts, JohnD is an investor in wind power, and ITPillock is employed in the wind power (or a similar) industry.

Given your heavily biased posts, I'd guess that you are Russian

Interesting analysis of where we're at now, and how we got there :

"Growth" is meaningless. We are 3 trillions in debt and cannot afford to maintain an army, keep people safe, provide cheap energy etc., etc. All the real stuff.

Climate change is a massive con.

The industrial revolution was founded on wind and hydro.

Spline please learn to check what you read on your Twitter echo chamber…..I would hate for you to look silly

For your information:

These are not average energy costs in each country.
They are actually the wholesale prices of electricity per megawatt hour for a single hour in December 2022.

Viral ‘average energy cost’ Europe price list is not what it seems – Full Fact

The list, which has been retweeted by a Labour MP, shows wholesale prices of electricity for a single hour in December 2022.

A curious opinion.

What date do you think your "civilisation" was founded?

What "civilisation" was it?

Are you a mormon? A scientologist?

WRONG (again).

We must have the world's most expensive electricity, as well as the most expensive everything else; highest taxes etc. That's due to our communism.
