The problem is people complaining, wasting time on council guff just to virtue signal. Same with protesters, it achieved nothing. If you want to improve standards of buildings etc that's fine.
-
And how does that effect our 1% global CO2or even the UK ?. Simple answers on the back of half a rizla. Go refill the largest inland sea before you start lectures about the climate, once that's refilled you'll find a lot of the world returns to normal.

As per usual, you go all sandwich board end of the world. There will be no extinction, you know it, I know it, the bank manager at Siemens knows it. It's that sort of doom monger rhetoric that's the problem, I watched a local councillor do such a thing about solar panels. A good 5 minutes gushing over 20 panels in a field, the applicant owns a mansion with a swimming pool and a Ferrari. Erm 20x250-400w = 5-7Kw, but wouldn't put them on his huge house!.

Maybe we can think of those renewable power types, that don't really see the bigger picture of how unclean and a waste of money it is. They are ostriches getting shafted whilst buying their heads in the sand, probably whilst listening to a podcast of Gretta.

I think you'll find that's just filtered liquid from dirty 30 that they're pumping out and removing all legacy radioactive solids. Anything radioactive is removed, but diluted with sea water as the PH is from memory 11. Weirdly at PH 11 things float differently as the buoyancy changes. It's not actual waste.

They don't

There is no problem reprocessing it, both the UK and France have been doing it for decades. Only exception being the USA, who just decide to stockpile it and do nothing.
-
Well BAE & Rolls Royce don't seem to have any problems making them at barrow with the latest design 440MW for the submarines.
-
I've said it before, we built Calder hall in 3 years whilst designing and creating the technology. Bin this unproven EPR that even the french who designed it seems unable to get working. Finland took 18 years to get theirs up and running.
-
It's spelt Nuke-u-lar
-
There's one to be built in Manchester, 40MW. Planners barely even thought about the diesel backup that sort of juice requires and the waste heat that just vented to the atmosphere instead of being used for say heating the Olympic pool or maybe in the basement of every leisure centre in the land. Say 80% power efficiency, that 8MW of heat
-
Maybe, just don't think it's anywhere as accurate as they're trying to claim. Look at us, look at us, we have all this water. Whilst at the same time glossing over Canada oil sands, Norway gas, rainforests etc.
-
It isn't, but Norway, Sweden, Canada have long rivers and effectively stack them together. We cannot and if you look worldwide there's a very big movement to remove dams and weirs entirely, Europe removed a few thousand last year alone. If you want to make yourself depressed look at Ireland data centres and the power cable they want to lay to Iceland.
-
And why don't you look at the source of said power. Mostly hydro, stop just reading the title and thinking it's all rainbows and sugarplums
-
Take it slow and let the saw work at it's own pace, maybe crank up the oil flow if you can.

Interesting read- Brewdog forest in Scotland
GarethM replied to richyrich's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
And is anyone surprised, by either the dead trees used as a cash cow or that brewdog aren't doing anything?. Isn't he a bit distracted by a Toffolo. -
Who on earth wants anything 5m high, just plant a hedge. It won't be immediate but in 5 years, you'll actually like it. Instead of being the antisocial A hole.
-
Guessing a few hundred

Just checking, watched plenty of Australian immigration 😋. Do a search here, there's been a few companies plus NZ asking for staff.
-
Hopefully you've got atleast a working holiday visa.

Whilst I always wear chainsaw boots or chainsaw wellies depending on conditions, I don't climb but hours of ringing logs and I've had the same pair for about 15 years. Everything else I wear tends to be Screwfix, basic black coal boots or trainers all with steel toe caps under £40.
-
I never said no grease, there's a reason why they have a similar thread on the tube. You screw it down and push some in, you don't need to remove the side cover and pack it full like some stuffing gland on a boat.
-
It's a field not a "garden" and probably includes a soak away for the rainwater off the house
-
Yeap, never fill it full, just enough to cover the gears is more than enough. You'll not only waste it by squeezing it out but possibly even cause more damage by it working against itself. The hedge cutter equivalent of hydrolock.
-
Well obviously for the bang you'll need the FAC in a suitable caliber, still illegal to use a bow for hunting in the UK. The other certificate is the DSC, but I think that's more for selling it on afterwards.
