Re: Renewable Energy Tech
For us the money is a bonus. I just like being able to use electricity during the day for free (I know it's not free...). Not free, but no usage charges means just what it sounds like! This is the prime benefit from going as big as you can re installed panel nameplate capacity, allowing for the dep...

Actually, I'm not. The narrative that we see on social media and in mainstream media does suggest that, and Rachel Riley was caught up in that.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
Agree MM, I cant see the rooftop solar solution as one that is terribly efficient. We're still at the mercy of retailers which sucks arse. Feels like it's 3 steps forward and 2 back. In saying that, for about 6 months of the year our bill is $0. Retailers are a bunch of pricks, without doubt; and, ...

So the US would loan Ukraine to buy obsolete/expired equipment and ammunition that’s in US inventory instead of the US throwing it out? That’s a good deal, right?

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

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?
Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market. There is also the precedent of the state deciding that if something is not good for you, they can ban it. Which leads to the question, what would be next? Fancy a beer, anyone...

Among the anecdotal stuff in the history of Iran-Israel relationships, the Shah's secret services asked help from Israel Mossad to kill Khomeini when he was exiled in France.

Joey Manu (a better player IMO than Suaalii) is off to play in Japan next year. That’s just the cherry on top for NZR.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech
The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly...
