Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

But other green manure crops do not have that, most obviously with alfalfa. We actually used cannabis as a green manure crop at one time.

Its all perfectly feasible and it was done back in the 1950s

you have been fed a line of bullshit, and not only have you swallowed it, you have learnt to enjoy it.

It does, and it is used. consistent monoculture encourages competitive organisms.

Unlike you, I live in someone elses farm. I have had wheat, barley, broad beans, oil seed rape. All depending on the EU grant this year and what pests were in the fields

Rod speed is so ignorant he doesn't even know how much

It's very characteristic of stupid people.

Warm is only good up to a point. There are large and growing desert areas in Africa, which also has one of the worlds highest population growth rates.

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.

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.

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.

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?
