Which type - Torygraph is behind a paywall. Switzerland has a lot of geothermal - where you drill ~20m to 30m into the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pasta joint on Prospect Hill, Monapoli has got some answering to do. You should see the size of their Carbonara footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will know. They were just air to water heatpumps. Government subsidies to reduce coal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The comparison with Walter's half-hour speech and Stu's in under a minute was definitely worth a mention. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can be a “ denier” whilst still accepting that solar panels do generate electricity. The two are not conflicting views. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I find that article interesting. 'It would be cheaper to import the electricity...' If we all put solar panels on our roofs (very affordable for most of the population) put up some windmills etc the island could be something like 70% self sufficient. The problem ten is that the MEA would be bankrupt. So to keep the MEA going it's best to discourage solar and wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk ot installing solar panels on government buildings to save the planet is a load of bollocks as with the areas involved they would barely run the coffee machines contained within! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two are not conflicting views. They don't generate as much electricity as a big fuck off gas turbine though. So if you weren't convinced of climate change, why would you bother?
