@TerraOrBust At some point the EU is going to be in serious danger of collapsing under the weight of its own bureaucracy

@jonburkeUK If there’s only 7% left why ban drilling licences? No-one will extract oil if it’s not commercially viable so no need to ban them

@acjenky So we should jump in and out of Europe every 10 years? Does that sound like a good plan?

@BladeoftheS So a potential future Prime Minister who can’t figure out whether he has to pay council tax thinks he can successfully run the country?

@LeeHurstComic Hydrogen has to be stored in the car at about 10,000 PSI. Personally I don’t want to be driving a mobile bomb. Hydrogen cars power batteries that drive the wheels. Just put more batteries in and lose the hydrogen (which is what has happened)

@Gareth50568394 @DaveThroup I’m 5 years and 50k miles in with my EV and this has never happened to me. How much longer do you think I’ll need to wait?

@sarah_go_green @GivEnergy On a parallel theme many years ago I was an Ecotricity customer because they promised to always be cheaper than the Big 6 - until one day I realised I was was paying more than some of the Big 6. The promise had been quietly dropped - I left never to return

@KateFantom There will be a cost to run gas plants whether we’re burning gas or not - I guess that’s the gas equivalent of curtailment. We need significantly more grid level storage but like everything in this country it’s all happening at glacial speed. Why is the LAES build taking so long?

@g__j @OctopusEnergy We need a heat pump solution for combi boilers that does not need a hot water tank

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@afneil @TerraOrBust The State has grown beyond the ability of the country to fund it. Even with a record tax burden the Government is still borrowing huge sums to make ends meet. As a country we are drowning in a sea of regulation

@wholemars Presumably supervised means someone in the drivers seat paying attention as opposed to someone in the car not paying attention or no-one in the car

@DirtyTesLa FSD subscription take up will depend on use case. Those who commute or want to join the Robotaxi fleet will be more likely to pay than those who only use their cars for social purposes such as retirees who will not want to pay much, if anything. Taking away basic AP is a mistake

@implausibleblog The last time we ran without any gas was for 1 hour in April 2024. Given all the billions being spent on wind energy when will be the next time we manage to run the grid, even for an hour, without gas?

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@Frencheconomics It’s a complex subject and it’s almost impossible to know who’s telling the truth. There are lies, damn lies and cost comparisons between wind and gas. I don’t believe the government is making any serious effort to be transparent on the cost of energy generation

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@Tesla Top tip: wait for it to stop moving first

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@joshemden So the price of electricity is largely driven by gas (marginal pricing) and because we’re using less gas the price goes up which makes electricity more expensive?

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@paulmasonnews Everyone understands that renewable energy (the supply) does not always meet demand so there has to be a large storage element to balance supply and demand. I see lots of headlines about adding more and more generation but precious little on storage. What’s the plan for storage?

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@DirtyTesLa No idea where this leaves HW3 owners - the Tesla promise that every HW3 car will achieve FSD still stands. Buying FSD would have covered any HW4 upgrade costs but FSD rental does not make that viable. Being in the UK I haven’t bought FSD yet because it does not work

[diallingtone @diallingtone]

@gailalfaratx @elonmusk If you bought FSD the relative value for money was how long you kept the car. With monthly rental the VFM is more tied to mileage - for lower mileage users the pence per mile cost will not be attractive. I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this quest to improve uptake

@AndrewCurran_ It all boils down to trust. AIs are great at plausible output which can sometimes just be made up to please the recipient. Truthful output is just as important as the quality of writing. How do you assess its truthfulness without the need for permanent human oversight?
