It's actually much more than 20x for just all available offshore wind, but if you restrict it to just the most economically viable parts and including onshore, it works out at around 20x. I've lost the reference I had for that.

GIGO.

Indeed, and the environmentalists are on board with it because although it will disrupt the local wildlife, it will create new habitats, and in the end the reduction in damage from not using fossil fuels to generate that energy far outweighs the downsides.

There has never been a point in recorded history when the British Isles and territorial waters were windless.

And yes, we have hydro, we have storage, and we could have a hell of a lot more.

Actually the former head of the National Grid said that. The guy running the UK's grid said that the concept of base load was obsolete, and he was right.

The UK has at least 20x as much wind power available than its current electricity consumption. Energy independence is entirely possible, if not particularly desirable.

The UK could be a massive exporter of clean energy. Scotland in particular could be getting rich off it, but like with the oil they aren't seeing as much of the benefit as they should be seeing.

The sort of people who think base load generation wont be required in the future are deluded.

No one has said that. But thanks for playing.

Going back in time would play forward to a completely different set of events pretty quickly.

Only if the Many Worlds Interpretation holds true. If what Hawking said is true, that there is some time of time chronology protection which prevents changes to the timeline, no matter what you do will not cause a change to already happened future events. Or, put another way, history will always be history.

Even if all 1 million downloads turn into real OS installs, it's a drop in the bucket compared to Windows installs. However, after Microsoft's recent announcement their own updates have broken their own system combined with no longer supporting W10, this can only lead to good things.

In this case, I mean literally... literally. You can find citations trivially. Everyone should know this by now. If you want to talk about Nazis, you should know something about Nazis.

I know the truth can be painful.

Here's a crypto scammer that was pardoned and when asked Trump had no idea who the guy even was. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/t...

I know a guy that openly accepts money for pardons.

"Remember, Na-Zi means National SOCIALIST, and that's that fascism is."

Remember, the Nazis literally called themselves socialists to fool stupid people, and you also don't know what either socialism or fascism is if you think one is a type of the other.

He wasn't a Nazi but George Washington did a genocide and was named "Town Killer" for it. And before someone points out that was his father, no, his father (who was also named George) ALSO did a genocide and was called the same thing for the same reason.

I'm not really clear what it even does. You get an @thundermail.com address I think, probably blocked or assumed to be spam by many systems. Anything else?
