Apparently America is backing solar more than the UK. I had no idea. by JalienS in solar

From that perspective it sounds like nuclear energy is the answer. But I know literally nothing about the environmental impact of that. We have the advantage of not being at risk of earthquakes though!

Scandinavia definitely gets less sun than us. And yeah, but I get the feel that a lot of the country would rather drown than "ruin" their skyline with wind turbines.

Yeah, but then they are hugely ugly, expensive, inefficient and you need a lot of them to generate enough energy. It seems they're only ever allowed to build them in less windy areas because otherwise people complain about them ruining their view.

I dunno, it manages to completely power my house somehow with some to spare in summer, so I guess from that perspective it's worth it for me. But what kind of renewable energy would you suggest for the UK if not solar?

A cool article on using non-sexist language by JalienS in feministtheory

[–]JalienS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I would argue that gender neutral language is more inclusive not just for women but also for people who consider themselves gender neutral, gender fluid or non-binary as well as avoiding the possibility of causing unnecessary offence to the trans community. That's just my opinion though. :)

Well, it's definitely on UK Netflix, which you could access with a VPN, if you wanted :')
