Team the medias indicators that science has just discovered it. Is crap. Its more science has just proved or documented something ot has suspected for a long while.
Anyone with a dog knows they have such ideas and thoughts. But recognising it via anecdotal evidence and actually proving it in a way that stands up to challenge are 2 very different things.
Unfortunately modern media really dose not benifit fro pointing that out.
A shitty fascist civilisation, is still civilisation. It will end as something close to a fuedal one. Where the billionaires prevent the serfs from doing anything to improve things.
Century is a long time. Those who voted for this crap will not live to suffer.
Many poor nations are suffering today. And will likely collapse into failed states during those voters lifetimes.
So yes there is a difference between rich or poor. As living in the wealthy we get to not make your decendents suffer. These voters forget some are already suffering and are happy to ignore it. As I said wealthy nations will be the last to suffer. And suffer the least.
More then billionaires. But way way less then those the west has stripped of resources and competative ability since the 1800s.
Problem with that is it translates to.
Fuck the poor nations. Let the rich voters fuck um over with climate catastraphies while they close their borders to tefugees.
Wealthy nations have the least to fear.
Based on that def.
No gender exists.
No one is born with eggs or sperm.
Seems trump dose not understand pubity.
Let him go ahead and remove all legal definitions of biologocal gender.
Homeless are likely cheaper.
Not to mention he can likely claim a tax break for charity donations to them.
So in other words you are saying. Any nation with nukes has a right to walk in and take over any non nuke nation. And those nations have no right or duty to defend their borders.
Hong kong will pay £100k to kidnap people.
No other way to interpret this.
Agreed.
As I say, it’s just the idea of 1.5m can’t be wrong that is wrong. More so coming from a newspaper that depends on the success of marketing for its revenue.
Approx 2% of a population can definitely be sold a crock of shit if the marketing is good. Just look at the numbers who voted Trump in the US or Reform in the UK.
Honestly, if solar Balconies produced 30% of the nations’ electricity, then it would be very impressive.
But while Germany producing 54% clean energy is bloody impressive. Honestly, 30% is likely to be solar as a whole, not just balcony solar.
The number of locations where the low sun would be inline to balconies is limited. Due to urban conditions. Mainly only higher flats over the average city line and rural areas.
And while in those higher or rural flats. The low sun may shine the correct way 30% of the day (if the panels can tilt). For that to generate 30% of the flats use over a whole year. Would take a pretty big balcony. The best panels available commercially nowadays are <300w per m2. So most balconies would have 600 to 1200w max. The whole side of the flat would likely be 4x to 6x times that.
I’d guess it’s still worth doing. (def the whole side of the building thing) Mainly because the panels are so freaking cheap atm. It’s the cost of bats and volt/current/charge management that would be the greatest cost part. But for most users. 30% from balcony alone is not realistic.
Grins, actually My MPPT cost more than the panels. £70 for each panel plus £33 shipping the pair. The 2 30a MPPTs £90 each.
But when fitting to a house it’s likely to be mounting by a pro that is the bigger cost. So yeah, way easier to replace the MPPTs etc then climb on a roof.
Fortunately, with a narrow boat a can do it all myself with just the risk of wet feet ;)
Erm as he is talking about what the panel providers are willing to warrantee. Where else would you expect to see it.
Give me a week and I can go get the warrantee paperwork for my panels. But I’m net heading out to them till after Xmas. But it’s 20 years at something like 85% of original performance.
If you are expecting to see test data. Well, honestly, other than manufacturers. The older technologies really were not as reliable. The same manufacturing techniques that have reduced the price of panels over the last few years. Are the reason UV damage etc will take longer to effect them. Hence, the long warrantees. 70-90s panels used to suffer from UV fogging over the diodes, so did not expect to last as long. But even they tended to last about 10 years.
As I pointed out else where. It is not the panels that are likely to fail in 6 years. (unless damaged) But the electronics adjusting to battery or AC voltages for use. They tend to come with much shorter warrantees. But if fitted well, are also much easier to replace.
Honestly, it depends on what you spend. Many high-end fridges in Europe come with 10 year manufacturer’s warrantee. And EU law requires manufacturers to provide parts for 10 years on such goods. So honestly yeah.
That said, cheaper ones tend to make it past 5 (mine is 8 years old) without maintenance. And if I had to replace it 3 times in 10 years, it would still be cheaper than getting the expensive ones. (worse for the environment)
As for solar panels. I am about to replace the one on my boat. It is well over 5 years old and still works. I’m replacing it because I can get 2 410w huge panels for way less than the 100w one cost the past boat owner.
6 years really is nothing for a solar panel. My new ones came with a 20-year warrantee. (something like 85% after 20 year). High-end ones are better.
The 2 MPPTs are likely to need replacing first. But again, 6 years may be well beyond their warrantee. But is reasonable to expect. The lifepo4 battery should just manage 10 years. Before losing significant storage. But that is with the BMS set to keep them from 10-90% charge.
So no, 6 years is a very reasonable time to expect from solar.
EDIT: In a house setup. It is the inverter that is most likely to need replacing. But again, 6 years is more than likely for a quality one.
On my boat, the vast majority of the equipment is 12v, as it’s just more efficient. But the cheap (very) Chinese inverter did not last a year. So yeah they can be cheap crap if you don’t get good ones. But we don’t really use it much. So haven’t bother replacing it yet. Will do so this summer.
Worth adding. In homophobic a community. It is much less likely that gay men are able to get honest advice.
And way more likely that those gay men also risk heteosexual women. When attempting to avoid prejudice. Ie pretending not to be gay.
Back in the early 80s when aids first came out. The US and UK were very homophobic. To the point it was often illegal in some US states. And only recently legalised but still restricted in the UK.
This in no way prevented gay men and increased the risk to both gay and hetrosexual communities.
‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’
Yep, an impressive marketing campaign.
Honestly, I’m not saying they are bad. Depends on location and angle.
But the tittle is total rubbish.
Ask any vet about that and honestly nope that is not what science thinks. But some scientists do propose other explanations for events that how science works.
Technically you don’t feel pain. Your body sends signals to your brain and muscles. Your muscles react to those signals. And your brain interprets them in a way that results in you changing actions. IE your mind creates pain you don’t feel it.
The destination seems non existant in the mind of yourself with your hand on a hotplate. But it is a scientifically accurate one. One that must be considered when considering how pain killerssuch as opiates work.
And it is this gap in human vs scientific language that media loves to sell articles on.
