Re: Renewable Energy Tech
Good to know - we're still getting bummed on charges :x Yes. The gold-plating thing was annoying alright The new problem is that the wires don’t go to the places where the wind blows. That’s why the Govt (to their modest credit) are setting up these ‘green zones’ and trying to promoted renewables i...

Re: Israel declares state of war
Not just Biden, but the US in general historically. Saw an interview with US citizens who live in ilegal west bank colonies and have kids in the IDF. Proudly displaying their Trump hats and flags and saying "we need Trump back". Using dehumanising language to describe the Palestinians and talking a...

Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
It is. I guess it shows that politics is often like supporting a football team and people can't change. Goerge Bush courted the Christian evangelical crowd, and Trump inherited them. I often see the extreme ends of political sides have many contradictory groups in them. +1 I'd agree but extend the ...

No Uru, McReight, McDermott and Flook. And no HMP on the bench. Not good at all.

Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market.
