Probably my age, but what a politician says and does, do differ. It's the actions I'll measure upon, not the promissory notes of intent.

For better or worse the EU gets down to working out something that all members can agree and why much change can be vetoes by a single member. That all said we are hosting COP26 climate summit - though like many - the Queen sums up what we

That has nothing at all to do with the rising energy prices which have been natural gas related - not electricity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58090533

I suspect many will be on the fence looking at how fusion goes as that's getting closer and closer each day and once that becomes a reality in your energy grid production - fission will fall out of favour like a stone. [EDIT - fixed as

Yes France has a large Nuclear infrastructure and much of that is comming close to end of life. They are actively trying to get the EU to recognise Nuclear fission to be recognised as a green energy supply. If they can't achieve that

Worth noting that they are also taking Fusion seriously and looking at a test site already for an initial reactor trial. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-58911210 So nuclear in 2035 may have a different de

You may find a small bit of capstan tape over the mic will, whilst reduce the mic's sensitivity a little - equally achieve the same results against this.

Fascinating and I like how cheap it can be made - those ultrasonic emitters are right of a HC-SR04 by looks of it and those are cheap as (got half dozen for £1 each few months back). I did start a project to jam gopro's (audio and visu

That may well be fixable, case of what is the resonant frequency of the water protection an tuning this to induce resonance to overload the sensor - may well work. Though inducing resonance in the glass screen may well achieve the results.

It is Illegal to jam the phone signal in case of emergencies AFAIK. Not aware of it being illegal to jam recording devices in such an environment in which they do outline (somewhere) no recording allowed in the theatre. Audio is an odd thi

Yes it is a bit like presenting somebody with two buttons, one green and one red and asking them to press one. Then concluding that those who pressed the red button was depressed and how hard and quick the pressed it determined how depress

The prospect of people protesting to save cookies and slogans upon buses saying we could save the NHS millions of clicks a year by scrapping them - has my comedy pen running away with itself.

I'd invest in the companies making the equipment that makes such plants - so wind turbine makes... Though land always safer bet. I'd also be wary of any fission based electricity production exposure just because once fusion kick

Certainly a market for home charging stations that can follow the spot price as some tariffs offer and charge up between midnight and 5am when the price per unit is cheaper due to less demand. But yes, it could be mismanaged. Equally EV&#x
