The sun is still shining, you just need to reorganise the earth into a flat shape with all the solar panels pointing in the right direction all the time. Making the earth flat is by far the easiest bit of making solar PV replace fossil fuels.
Ice houses are first recorded around 1780 BC in Mesopotamia. They were also used by the ancient Chinese, while the Romans had similar buildings to store snow. The ancient Egyptians didn't store ice, but they knew how to manufacture it, using evaporative cooling in desert areas at night.
They have a long extension cable and exchange electricity with Harry.
Other than Harry, you mean?
It all went wrong when we started being CONCERNED about daft people.
And then gave them the vote.
If it was well enough insulated it could be.
It means s*it-fer-brans we would need twice the area of those in Queensland. Or twice as efficient. Which may be in the pipeline.
The other form of renewables.
Well I was allowing scope for him to pipe up and agree its daft... not holding my breath though!
Scotland is going to lose 65% of its generating capacity due to the EU shutting down their coal stations, and wee alex shutting down their nuclear industry.
Use the Iplayer and listen to this mornings BBC R4 'Life Scientific' program, when Jim Al-Khalili talked to Zoe Shipton, professor of geology (somewhere). Note her remarks about wind-power and that infamous anti-fracking video showing methane coming out of a tap.
She didn't show much understanding of half-lives and duration of radioactivity, though, unfortunately.
You are one of the worst.
S*it-fer-brains as usual. Night frosts are not uncommon in Eygpt. Plus it was cooler in acient Eygpt than it is now.

What, you on a bicycle?
What if we used them as fuel, would that be classed as renewable energy, as I doubt there's a natural limit to stupidity other than darwinism.
