Its an interesting concept as it turns EV owners into little power stations and sell electricity at a price when demand is high (mornings and evenings) then recharge overnight when prices are low, it takes up the over capacity during the low night time usuage as you said you cant just turn off a power station so it can be a useful feature. With solar PV battery supplies can do likewise.

Bloody auto correct on my phone ion! Missed that in my edit.
Yes not perfect as I said earlier we do need nuclear for a while. Cant go by anything American, they are too stupid a nation and use too much power, too much fuel, too larger engines to do everything and consume too much food!
The batteries would also be topped up with the excess from power stations. The EV vehicle to grid will also provide much needed battery capacity going foreward and the UK grid has already given details of how this will work.

Still on the plus side Boris has proclaimed they will remove the passports of illegal class A drug users!

I would very much like to stone them!

EDF has said its third-generation EPR Flamanville 3 project (seen here in 2010) will be delayed until 2018, due to "both structural and economic reasons," and the project's total cost has climbed to EUR 11 billion in 2012.[1] On 29 June 2019, it was announced that the start-up was once again being pushed back, making it unlikely it could be started before the end of 2022. In July 2020, the French Court of Audit finalised an eighteen-month in-depth analysis of the project, concluding that the total estimated cost reaches up to €19.1 billion which is more than 5 times the original cost estimate. Similarly, the cost of the EPR being built at Olkiluoto, Finland, has escalated dramatically from €3 billion to over €12 billion , and the project is well behind schedule. Originally to commence operation in 2009 and that is now unlikely to be before 2022.

I will look into what you say but the build cost of nuclear is colossal, as is the decommissioning and hiding the the dangerous stuff including the concrete and steel etc into deep caves so we can pull the rug over it. Not saying we dont currently need nuclear, we do. Coal, gas oil no, we cant continue to burn fossil fuels ad hoc and as you have said we cannot just turn them on and off whereas if the investment goes into battery storage, we do not need those fossil technologies of the last century.
This is a transitional period for the better. Take away the 6.5% of the worlds GDP and stick that into renewable and batteries (those batteries do not have to be lithium iron or other rare metals as is being proven now with iron air to name but 1.

One could easily say the same about the colossal cost of a nuclear plant and it decommissioning at the end.
Looking at fossil derived fuels the subsidies given out amount to a colosal 6.5% of the worlds GDP, sink that into renewable energy and ...

Wasting money on renewables?

Just to post, no disclosures needed.

It's already in Europe and almost certainly France. So what difference does it make? Better having a test before travelling either way.

The boss of Moderna has said today that he thinks the current vaccines will not be totally effective against the new variant.
He expects it will take a good few months to develop a new vaccine to counter it.
Just keeping his shareholders happy!
The information continues to arrive that omicron, whilst able to transmit easier has less serious effects, mainly fatigue.
In that case better to catch omicron covid and have the best immunity going forward.

Apparently, around 400 private jets flew into Glasgow for the recent COP26 Hot Air Talking Fest: and according to some analysts these airplanes generated more CO2 than the whole of Scotland in one year!
Now, we proles are being sort of ordered, by St. Greta and others, to stop eating meat, stop heating our homes with gas, junk our nasty motor cars and buy expensive EVs, hang our polluting little heads in shame and so on.
But have a gander at this, folks!

During the "recession" or "austerity" call it what you will, Learjet and Bentley had over flowing order books. The pawns are lied to as usual.

The South African Doctor actually treating people said so far the effects are very mild, fatigue is the sign.
So dont panic! -
Whilst you are right Lori, blending kale is a lot easier to get down. I used to add handful of kale, handful of spinach, a kiwi, spoonful of peanuts/brazil/almonds/cashews. Maybe chia or flax seeds. Sometimes fruits of the forest red berries and/or a banana.
Really helped after cancer treatment as energy was low and I carried that on for 8 years. I did gain some visceral fat so as covid lockdown began I stopped using it and changed to low carb high fat diet to loose the visceral fat.
Nutribullet is 11 years old now and the blade bearings are worn out.

Hello!
My mum recently bought a juice machine and i can't wait to start juicing and cleansing my body. Do you have any good recipes? It would be perfect if they contained not only fruits, but vegetables and some protein sources
Which juicer? The fancy cold pressing varieties leave out the fibre and just produce juice, that just spikes your insulin levels and makes you feel hungry again when your sugar level drops. The Nutribullet type give you the fibre as well which is known to be beneficial.

Seems about right. Their efforts to stop them have been half hearted to say the least. Still it suits Macron.
The French in lieu of payment promised to double their efforts to stop migrants. We all know 2 x 0 =0 so the French kept to their words, wheareas Pritti Arrogant kept hold of the money, 1st good thing she's done but gets no one further on. Just like ALBF, the migrants want out of France to.

Glad it was all worth it.

Yes, at your age stay away from hover boards battery or otherwise. ?
LG chem have had problems with theirs but petrol cars never make the news when they catch fire.

I am sure you will find French shops a lot safer and less intimidating than the UK. Everyone wears a mask nothing like that in the UK where its a free for all and 95% never wear a mask or keep their distance.

Is it rude? Just correcting your inaccurate information. You clearly do not know about electric cars or renewables but will still avail us all with your thoughts based on?
Why dont people shut up when they don't know what they are talking about? Could be a new topic.

Did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning or are you always rude? I said it sounds expensive, and to me it does. It isn't going to be cheap installing a private charger in a block of flats. As regards not having a clue. Only a dimwit would lay out a large capitol sum in the certain knowledge that, if they are of advanced years, they would never recuperate the outlay. A younger person might! Now, I suggest you go back to bed and start again!

An electric car would suit the distance driven better than either a petrol or diesel model. But presumably you still need to top up the screenwash reservoir?
With the quoted mileage (km) charging at an off flat development public point occasionally would be easy if you cant get a point at the flats but they should address this point as they will soon anyway. Just look for charging points near to where you are living, travelling to, many shops have them now and the number is growing. You have to drive to go and get fuel now so not really any difference.

Post the Victoria Climbie tragedy, the social care manuals went from one or two volumes to around 7 or 8. Clearly they still havent understood but a grand parents grip on their grandchild raises a bruise and all hell brakes loose! That is what happend to friends when to prevent the child stepping off the pavement the bruise was spotted by well meaning social workers.
