Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

So you have a diverter to waste a bit of energy while it calms down.

Why? Always been once a year here.

Ours was inside the house, they had to catch you in.

No you're not. It's capped at 39p.

Bollocks. 20 years ago it was more like 13p. In the 80s, my parents paid 10p/3p at night.

Where did you find an economy 7? I used to get 20% off at night, but they even took that away.

Very easy to stick the washer/dryer/dishwasher on a timer.

Why not do what I do and pay what you actually use each month, instead of the always wrong amount they make up, causing you or them to owe the other hundreds of pounds?

Contrary to the bullshit they tell you, it's not helpful to you. Better to pay more in winter and less in summer, then you can afford holidays!

Cars have always been cheaper and more convenient. F*ck the railways.

If they make a massive profit, just buy shares in them.

It's what animals do, why do you consider humans weaker than other animals?

All those guys are sissies. Building shelters and all that s*it.

Skinny sexy folk look even better with beer too.

Just sit on the ice.

You mean you open the windows by hand!?

Or recycle them to make more blades.

Which could just as easily run on electricity.

It is a limited supply.

I doubt a blade costs as much as enough fuel to run a power station for 3 months.

At current costs, wind turbines are actually 10 times cheaper than average.

Yip, I know a guy like that, makes model trains from melted down drinks cans and milk bottles. The trains look better than Hornby ones.
