The width of the spectrum of political views for 65% of people used to be relatively narrow. That's increasingly not the case.

Or you go to 70% solar and 30% gas? If your example you've reduced generation from fossil fuels from 70% to 40% so still a win. I assume you're still going on about nuclear. The problem with nuclear is that it doesn't make fi

So I have a grid with Gas and Renewables connected. 100% Gas will use 100TWh of gas to generate power 50% renewable will use 50TWh of gas to generate power

That's probably an indication of just how bad things are

You think 34% is bad you should look at other leaders in Europe like Macron and Starmer.

So if you have a demand for say 100Twh a year and generation 1Twh from renewable, you need very little gas. On the other hand if you generate 60Twh renewable, you need more gas? Is that what you're saying?

No, national elections do that. The leaders that you elect in the national elections then appoint a commissioner (one each).

Quite. Wikipedia tends to be good with citations. People don't copy and paste from wikipedia any more, they do it from chatgpt with no (or made up) citations, ones you can't track at all.

by ta1243 2y ago
London is 3 times the size of Manhattan, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn combined, and Zone 6 is even larger than that. I assume an "unlimited metro card" also includes unlimited buses too?
