I drink therefore I am.

Beer, energy policy, sport, lefty politics, small furry things from alpha centauri.
Also, not only are diesel generators not banned by net zero, but we just had capacity market auctions in which diesel generators were awarded subsidies...

I made an Xmas dinner for my Nepalese housemates at uni - included a store bought rotisserie chicken as I'd never cooked turkey before 😂

They enjoyed it, though were dubious of the gravy not having more (any) spices in it... so they compensated with ample mustard applied to everything 😅

I'm happy to test this, just give me unfettered access to a piece of train or tram track which splits in two & a carriage without breaks we can start rolling towards various groups of people with someone able to divert the tracks to hit either one or several people...

Some F1 teams have never won a race. Maybe they should fire their engineers & so-called 'professional' drivers and replace them with a team of interpretative dancers & ice-cream van drivers instead?

Bret will surely agree with the infallible logic there...

I wonder if it will take off or if dedicated in-home batteries will get there first? Esp as earlier EVs get to the end of their lives putting a glut of cheaper batteries out there.

Consumers will v much drive it one way or another, but I'd want my car battery focussed on my car & maxing range etc.
