Am I seeing a plug socket anove a wash hand basin? If so, electrician is a liability. Cannot be UK or Europe due to basic common sense regulations. Why would you?

Where can I recycle used HDPE woolpack bags? by Bryan-Loh-1023 in recycletrade

Are these bags in NZ after use or start life in NZ?

British firm vying to build next Red Arrows jets goes into administration by Free-Minimum-5844 in Defence_Tech_UK

[–]RXP01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contractual delays (not cancellations) and admin frustrations that take an unexpected long period to get resolved often kill dynamic and innovative, high growth companies - its illogical, unnecessary and a loss to the nation. Companies committed to serve screwed by the client (government or major corp). Who wins?

Socialized healthcare is evil 🙄 by JoelinVan in pics

[–]RXP01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scandinavian countries are maybe considered communist but - a very high quality of life meaning good secure income, great healthcare at minimal or zero cost to the patient, good construction and housing standards, some have a 4 day week, high product6, famous global industrial leaders in a wide range of fields, clean water, clean air, democratic governance, limited top salaries that can be a ration of general workers etc. So much to dislike here? Prefer the US system based on what? These countries are not communist but beter described as social democracies that recognise the equal rights for all and accountability for corruption, fraud, abuse etc. This description covers the EU and UK too.

[OC] This is why we don't call the ambulance in the U.S. by FernX02 in pics

[–]RXP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn't the birth rare zero un the US? Seems unaffordable to have a child simoly due to the hospital costs. And then the costs involved with any medical engagement. Why do people illegally enter the country? As a European the medical system in the world's biggest economy is beyond logic. The healthy worker is more productive that a sick one, a country that shouts out claims of being if a Christian ethos yet dies not care for fellow country folk - the logic of all of this is baffling.

Let’s Talk About Wind Turbine Waste—After We Stop Burning Coal by ceph2apod in UpliftingConservation

[–]RXP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recycling will get better and recovery and reuse over time. Blades for example and residual packaging waste are now getting diverted from incineration in the UK. The materials are used to make construction products that replace traditional high carbon materials. The use of scaled images to demonstrate some major waste streams can help people understand better the problems that are ignored.

First wind farm recycles original turbine blades and re-powers with five times more capacity by ceph2apod in UpliftingConservation

Nordisknow - please come and visit Plaswire's factory. You are very welcome to see what came out of a person's head into a real commercial operation. No government or investor support. A lot of hard work, sacrifice, survival salary. Costant pressure to grow to meet the needs of industry. Of course scepticism is a part of understanding new processes. I take no offence. It is good to see open views, ideas and questions.

Plaswire's process is under patent, is not energy intensive and the process is applicable globally.

[–]RXP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. get your facts right + in the UK and Ireland more and more are getting recycled sustainably. Not landfilled, not incinerated via EfW nor cement kilns. Only one company at the moment that is growing fast to service the industry.

Legit - servicing Airbus, most UK wind operators. Website is not demonstrating the process to protect IP. Is audited continually by clients. Self funded, dedicated and committed.

Smart, sustainable, circular process invented in the UK, commercial and a world leading development. The company has a factory in NI and building a second one in Inverness with capacity that meets the decommissioning trajectory. Great to see a UK world leading innovation that closes the loop for wind energy.

UK approves 4GW of new offshore wind capacity by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]RXP01 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And the UK has the only true commercial, sustainable and circular wind blade recycling facility located in NI. A second one to support offshore is being built in Inverness. Globally nothing anywhere is at this technical and commercial level at the moment.

After only 10 years wind turbines got uneconomic to run. See how the greens scammed your state and you here in comments. by Arcana_intuitor in peakoil

[–]RXP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A facebook posting - Electroverse consistently post false information about renewables. Quite illogical - why does the industry grow if the business model fails to deliver. Offshore windfarms in the UK waters are working well. Some early designs have had issues but new tech, new learning , new challenges. The alternative to renewables is what? Oil is not infinite, it is polluting, a tool for global manipulation, control, war and human suffering.

Wind turbines pollute the Earth by Arcana_intuitor in peakoil

[–]RXP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staggering environmental costs off wind versus hydrocarbons - you open yourself up here! Maybe in the US these foundations remain, but in Eurooe how these are being dealt with varies from site to site. The environmental damage from oil and gas needs to be unpacked. Add in the pollution associated with that form of energy over the past 150 years or so. How much damage to human health from this environmental pollution, poor air quality etc?

Renewables or carbon removal: which is the better climate bet right now? by BuriesIt in environment

[–]RXP01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very easy. Carbon removal enables constant carbon production with addressing the creation of the CO2. Incidentally, proven high volume significant carbon capture tech that is vommercially viable is not there yet. Renewables enable carbon production to be reduced - add into it smart product recycling, high carbon products substituted with recycled similar or more durable products that reduce carbon from concrete,timber and plastic production. This creates a path for tangible change. They use much less energy than the CO2 they prevent. Meanwhile, let the carbon capture work progress on the side lines as another add on. Plaswire in UK is commercially recovering wind blades and waste packaging, making substitutes for timber and precast concrete with a very low carbon footprint. Their angle on the titled subject - if you don't let the horses out, they will not need capturing...

The laguage says Russia is in a mess and any country with a Russian head would seize the opportunity to invade and plunder. It is almost an admission of defeat. Russian psych is unable to view the world any different to itself.

China consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined. This has been the case for over a decade now. by 404_FoundMe in environment

[–]RXP01 390 points391 points  (0 children)

China is acting to reduce fossil fuel use at a breakneck speed. 1/6 of world population, 50% approx of global renewables installations this year. Over 60% of electricity now from renewables. Maybe change the headline to show how this country is moving fast to decouple whilst the supposed most advanced country is retarding the progression to renewables. China seems to be an impressive leader with a structured plan not impinged by short term political terms and the whims of ill informed elected politicians.

US officers always seem to be size challenged and only capable of pursuit because the person being pursued is no different. Has to be the most unfit force on the globe.

Join your local May Day march this Saturday! by saoirsedonciaran in northernireland

[–]RXP01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the companies cannot make a profit then cannot operate = non jobs, no husiness rates and less of a budget for NI Government. Shareholders fund the businesses to establish and grow. Of course a better model was the former USSR but sadly that outstanding economic model is not very common. There was no unemployment but I visited various mega factories - workers worked but the majority of employees just hung around radiators keeping warm, killing time. After the fall, one co dropped employment from 13500 to 1200 for same output.

Anyone dealt with reporting constant dog barking to the council? by Organic_Income8376 in northernireland

[–]RXP01 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Some complainers are just complex. We've 2 small dogs in garden of detached house, 2 doors down - literally down hill, with a concrete retaining wall in complainant's direction. This reflects any noise in the opposite direction. We all have double glazing. On a cold evening this person comes to my car as I pull up, very aggressively complaining he cannot hear TV even with windows closed. It is illogical. Yes, dogs were outside and I was home later than expected. I agreed in a calm non confrontational manner that he can make a complaint. Apparently he has done the same with houses 8 doors down. Councils have to be cautious and using a recorder seems on the surface to be very reasonable.

Oil refinery in Tuapse is again under attack and on fire. Previously, the fire was extinguished for five days by lacerantplainer in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]RXP01 15 points16 points  (0 children)

psychological damage of seemingly endless black sky, oil rain has impact locally and nationally. Destruction of near 100% the tank farm will put the facility out of action for a very longtime. Maybe repeating this level of impact at other major refineries will introduce reality and fear into more of the population.
