At least the ones on the north east coast are close to the wind farms.
The ones around London are in the worst place imaginable. We all know the state of Thames water, and it’s got the least excess power. Scottish wind farms keep on getting curtailed at great expense. We literally have power to spare up there, but I expect it’s the financial services firms saying they need low latency links to the financial markets.
We’re a country with a gambling addiction.
“Give me cannon fodder and I’ll give you oil”
If they live by what they preach they’ll be modding via AI.
If I’m browsing All and I see something that is promoting a stance that I feel is damaging to society, I downvote it. Damn right! I don’t want the idea spreading.
They should pressure US to arrest war criminals, if on their land
That would require the US recognising the ICJ, and they’ll never do that. A law higher than their “not-a-king”? Preposterous!
I’m sure the Ukrainians have better things to do than praise that orange moron whilst suppressing dry heaves.
Like blowing up Russian oil refineries.
Stop trying to find someone to blame and fight to get him out of office now.
There’s lots of people living in occupied areas that the Russians took in the first few days. The regions that have been fought over for the past 3 years … yes you’re right… No much remains there.
Risc-V has a base specification and then a bunch of extensions. RV64G is almost as basic as you can get. It has 64-bit registers as opposed to RV32s 32-bit ones and it has floating point instructions. C adds compressed instructions which are good for keeping more code in cache.
RVA23 is a “profile” which includes a lot more extensions. 56-bit virtual memory, vector processing, and hypervisor mode being the big ones. I don’t think anybody has come out with a RVA23 compliant piece of silicon yet.
So Debian is supporting existing hardware and Ubuntu has ditched support for the existing processors and is supporting what is currently yet to appear.
Interesting. Debian is supporting RV64GC whereas Ubuntu is targeting RVA23.
Personally I hate the “one MP per area” aspect of our system. You only have one person to raise issues with and they may not be sympathetic to your views.
Multi-member constituencies it’s much more likely that you can get your issue heard by someone who won’t dismiss you.
So trump thinks it’s about land mass, and not the people living there. Gotya.
Electrochemical batteries smooth out spikes more than anything else, but they do it really well and reduce the strain on other parts of the system.
“Storage” takes many forms though.
There’s a reason the US, Russia are so powerful and the middle east is so volatile (it’s not religion). Why do you think it’s been so hard to get the world of oil?
More energy independence across the globe. Diminished superpower influence. Diminish interest in the middle east.
20% of last year we were below 100g/kWh. That was up from 14.5% the year before. So, every year it’s becoming more and more common.
The 2030 target is to be below that level averaged over the year.
It’s not that uncommon. Last year we were below 100g/kWh (the 2030 target) for about 20% of the time. We averaged 83g today.
Chart from mygridgb.co.uk
Look over the last 12 months and you’ll see renewables are 30% over the year. 30% Gas, 15% Nuclear and 10% Biomass. The rest is imported from France (mostly Nuclear) and Norway (Hydro).
This year should see another 3GW of wind start up at Dogger Bank, with similar amount scheduled for the next couple of years. This will be more and more common.
The connectors with France only total 4GW. That’s about 10-15% of our demand. It’s s no more than a top up when it makes financial sense .
Today we were about neutral on import/export. We imported 2.5ish from France but exported just as much to The Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Belgium and Denmark.
That’s what our bills are meant to be for. Not lining the pockets of shareholders.
