Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

That seems to be US only. The big impacts are likely to be in poorer countries.

Probably like mine. I give them a reading every month, and they seem to believe it. Haven't seen their reader in years.

There's a little here about politics on the east side of the Atlantic.

Actually there is evidence the Sahel is in fact shrinking. as is the Sahara inside it

I've had my smart meters manually read three times in the 5 months since they were installed! Why?

When the species outgrows the carrying capacity it will die back. Unless dogooders send food, that is.

FFS drop it. Dean and I were comparing the agricultural products in our respective states. If you want to talk about Michigan's agriculture, feel free.

When they trade it for guns to kill each other instead of starving. There's a certain *directness* about Africa one grows to love.

They forgot to put in a new floppy disc in the computer that reads them.

"Goods exports accounted for 3.4 percent of Montana GDP in 2018. Montana goods exports in 2016 (latest year available) supported an estimated 13 thousand jobs."

That's what the papers said when they misinterpreted the half life of uranium and said that electricity would be too cheap to meter.

I may be one of the few people who never watched 'The X Files' in its heyday. I recently discovered it on FreeVee. Except for the cars many of the plot lines are timeless but one episode where they use a floppy to load malware to destroy an out of control AI gives it away.

They have been receiving the readings remotely - I can see them on their website, so I can't understand the multiple visits. There again, I have had nothing but trouble with this company, since I was moved there and I have now moved elsewhere.

Haven't UK pension funds also been forced to do the same over the past decade or so?

Not due to increased temperatures.

No, That wasnt what they said and it wasn't about uranium and had nothing to do with its half life.

That was an off the cuff remark about nuclear *fusion*.

Just because you have bought into the the Russian oil industries scare tactics about nuclear power, and their agents on government have tried to destroy the industry doesn't mean that treated not as a political football, green bogey man and general object of deliberate misinformation, nuclear power subjected to careful cost and risk benefit analysis, to render it no more than one or two orders of magnitude safer than wind energy solar panels hydrogen storage and so on, should not be produced at around one tenth the costs of any alternative.

Which is what they are of course, afraid of.

The BofE and the PM and treasury are effectively insider traders on the bond scam.

Blair made a fortune out of borrowing to the max, buying property, dropping interest rates and cleaning up in the ensuing house price boom

Apart from yourself (and I'm not even sure about that), is there anyone who isn't out to get you one way or another?

Ahh, I see your meds are wearing off - did you enjoy your little rant?
