@CartlandDavid So the facts are that the digestives process happens in the stomach & particularly in Rumans with fermentation producing methane & therefore it comes out the mouth.
Only then does the rest pass on to the intestines resulting in other material exiting at the other end.

British utility Octopus CEO says the U.K. spent yesterday ~£20 million paying wind generators not to produce (curtailment was needed due to high wind during a winter storm)

German utility execs who champion the Energiewende are starting to panic after this month's shocking 12-day wind drought.

RWE CEO Markus Krebber posted a desperate plea for more "secure" power supplies this morning on LinkedIn.

The situation is coming to a breaking point.

Bad climate policies -> Germany in crisis

“Deindustrialisation is a real risk” president of Federation of German Industries

Even FT agrees partly because of "high energy costs"

Real German electricity costs (households+industry) 245% of costs in 2000

The president of the National Academy of Sciences, Marcia McNutt, has published welcome an essay promising to remain politically neutral and mitigate the political polarization of science.

Some notable quotes from the article:

"[S]cientists need to better explain the norms and values of science to reinforce the notion—with the public and their elected representatives—that science, at its most basic, is apolitical... Whether conservative or liberal, citizens ignore the nature of reality at their peril."

"Scientists should better explain the scientific process and what makes it so trustworthy, while more candidly acknowledging that science can only provide the best available evidence and cannot dictate what people should value."

"[T]he National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine need to examine how scientists may have contributed to the polarization of the use of science... [Scientists] must avoid the tendency to imply that science dictates policy."

"The public and policy-makers can discuss and debate how to respond to the myriad challenges that confront society, but these deliberations need to be informed by the objective, dispassionate evidence that only science can provide. To that end, the NAS stands ready, as it always has, to advise the incoming administration."

As Germany attempts to negotiate with Putin, they've had almost no wind or solar power this entire month.

Built 166 GW of wind and solar and are getting next to NOTHING from in November.

Whatever Gods German energy ministers pray to for good weather, they need new ones.

Nice to see NZ in the #fusion race. The investments world wide are a great sign of what’s still to come.

Looking at German electricity this week you could be forgiven for forgetting they've spent FIVE HUNDRED BILLION € on a renewable energy "transition"

They're just straight up fossil powered!

With high costs, high carbon, and a shrinking economy.

I labeled it for you below.

Germany's governing coalition has now collapsed.

They were bad stewards of their country's energy supply.

The leading opposition party says they will investigate turning back on the nuclear plants that recently closed.

Here are three graphs showing why nuclear should return.

German coalition government may not survive the night.

From trusted sources in Berlin.

Fallout from election of Trump, who asking other things is Germany's most famous energy critic.

Here is the chance needed to save Germany's nuclear plants.

I rented a $17k lens to photograph the recent starship launch in detail. When I aligned and stitched all the photos I took together, it made a unique video showing the entire event from launch to catch.

I hope to ride on Starship one day.
