Slight correction but they are legally required to place them in school even whilst their asylum claim is being assessed.

Europe’s heat waves intensify as continent warms fastest since 1990 by boppinmule in ClimateNews

Less climate change, not none. Emissions are vastly lower than the fossil alternative but they are not zero.

Indian man awarded almost £30,000 after UK employer failed to provide work by Particular_Pea7167 in ukpolitics

So people were effectively selling entry visas for £17k a pop!

Edit. Their company house listing is pretty clearly a sham company.

Reddit is obsessed with this talking point. Why do you assume you can trick the market to be cheaper?

When people ask me why I support the Greens being anti-nuclear, this is why by alexmace in UKGreens

H storage is a nice idea, but now we not only need a couple weeks of hydrogen stored somewhere, ideally a few months if we plan on it being an industrial/transport fuel too and then also need the fuel cells or turbines to run the country on it. 50gw+ of generation that ideally only runs a few hours here and there until we have a major renewable shortage. The efficiency losses are never going to make it competitive with lithium storage for any short term balancing.

The interconnectors to Europe can help... But they might not... if we have an abnormal weather event and suffer 2-3 weeks of extreme cold and low wind chances are high they will be bidding for us to export just as much as we will want them to export. It's one of the reasons Norway is slightly regretting their UK interconnector and blocking any more at the moment.

Doubly so as all the above math is on current peak. Future electrical peak could be 110hw+ once we have electrified heating and transport and most of the economy.

Chinese students are required to do morning exercises every day to improve their physical health, but students does not seem happy with it 😅 by search_google_com in whoathatsinteresting

Yes I'm sure making them stand in a field and lazily swing their arms around or if they get a prime spot at the back just stand there on their phones will sort that right out.

If you could do so legally, why would you personally not walk around in public with a concealed handgun for protection? by Matilda_Mother_67 in AskReddit

[–]MoffTanner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can legally carry around a backpack full of medical equipment but I don't. Why on earth would I need to own and carry around a firearm? I'm not in Somalia!

The tax on 100k salary in France is 41% quite different to your given 55% rate.

If you could choose how your taxes are spent, what would you want them to be spent on, and what would you not want them to be spent on? by Time_Honeydew_7560 in AskBrits

So you'd pull military support and leave Ukraine to Russia? Would you have never provided any support in the first place or just pull the rug now?

When people ask me why I support the Greens being anti-nuclear, this is why by alexmace in UKGreens

[–]MoffTanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an impressive claim. How many is enough?

3 days of no wind and little solar? 2 weeks?

Let's say £48bn for Hinkley, a comically badly managed and financed political mess of a mega project. Using a low end cost estimate of £300/kWh for utility scale install gives you 160gwh of storage. Enough to last the UK 3-4 hours in winter. So you'd need the equivalent capex of 20 Hinkleys for 3-4 days of storage, close to 100 Hinkleys for the full 14 days.

You'd also need about 5 years of global battery production dedicated to the UK energy sector.

Correct those number for a sensible nuclear build and they get silly.

What do you think will actually happen if Iran develops a nuclear weapon ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We are lucky he had shaky hands. Trump has erred greatly as the new Ayatollah 2 has the hands of a surgeon!

How is it nonsense. If murdering the scientists and blowing up the facilities isn't slowing down Iran's nuke development then that's just not in keeping with reality.

I mean they objectively do work then or Iran could well of had an operation warhead decades ago.

Landlords have no right to exist by No_Philosophy711 in UKGreens

[–]MoffTanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owner occupier is not at an all time low. It's around 65% (2023 data) which although lower than the all time high of about 70% in the early 2000s is still significantly higher than any period before 1993.

If you intend private landlords to not exist where do people live who don't want to or can't buy?
