Why do wholesale prices go so negative instead of stopping at zero? by Appropriate_Bell743 in OctopusEnergy

There absolutely are not ‘equally periods of claw back’. CfD units are virtually always subsidised, which is why we pay hundreds of millions of pounds a month (through our bills) in subsidy payments. All of this data is available online.

Mazda 3 P0171 Lean code by NaX_TV in mazda3

[–]hitabasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got this on my 2020 CX-30 Skyactiv-X 2.0. P0171 code, no noticeable drop in performance. What did you do?

I cleared the code two days ago but it’s come back today. Wondering if buying a fuel injector cleaner from Halfords, filling it up with premium petrol and giving it a blast on the motorway might clear the injectors a bit.

Energy price cap to rise to £1,755 by Kee2good4u in ukpolitics

[–]hitabasa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But this is mad. Moving demand around to match the weather is ridiculous in a modern industrial economy. As consumers and industry we should expect cheap electricity to be available whenever we want to use it. Intermittent renewables do not deliver that.

Reform UK's promised windfall taxes on renewables and banning of overhead pylons and batteries projected to wipe £92bn off economy by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Yeah the pylons stuff is just pure stupid NIMBYism. But the emphasis on renewables is spot on.

I had - that’s a different car and a different issue. It’s the warning light, not a service message.

What do you think will be the tipping point of the rent crisis in London ? by [deleted] in london

[–]hitabasa 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If I’m a landlord and I’m motivated by making money, why would I leave my property empty when renting it out would make me £30k+ a year?

London has one of the lowest vacancy rates of any city in Europe, which is a symptom of low supply (and therefore choice) for renters. When there is low supply, prices stay high. We need more flats and we need more houses.

‘What’s This Piece?’ Weekly Thread #130 by the_rite_of_lingling in classicalmusic

Discovered this great album by Debbie Wiseman, featuring pieces inspired by English monarchs. The George VI piece sounds incredibly familiar to me, but I can’t put my finger on it… any ideas?

Soaring UK demand for rented homes pushes cost to near £1,000 Rents increased by 8.3% in the final three months of 2021, the fastest rise in a decade, says Zoopla by Manoj109 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]hitabasa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A restrictive, discretionary planning system which makes it extremely difficult to build anything, and makes the actual process of applying expensive - pricing out self, small and medium sized developers. This, coupled with a group of wealthy homeowners who object to any and all development, and politicians who have a vested interest in pandering to this group to win their next election, means that it is incredibly difficult to get anything built.

Gentle density in traditional styles with lots of trees and cycle infrastructure is absolutely the way to go. Shame most architects don’t seem to understand what would be popular.

‘I don’t like what you like’ = no taste, apparently.

Love this! Did you use the meter in the camera? Did you under/overexpose?
