I'm like how these high mileage vehicles are turning electric.

Been noticing more electric buses, Tesla's as taxis, wv ID buzz as trademans vans, and delivery vans being electric. Great places to start.

This country needs fucking land reforms. Gigantic ones.

Land inherited from William the Conqueror's mates, absolutely not. Low density housing on hugely expensive land, no. Land Value tax the cunts. Any new railway station or any old railways station only high density housing/offices/ commercial can be built.

Government need massive buying to lay new railways and for above projects if LVT doesn't work. Don't like it? Get fucked.

Two way roads in city centre and no cycle paths fuck it. Close them make it all one way infrastructure and put cycling in. Every city, town center, railways station and bus station has to have secure bike parking. We need some more undergrounds outside London (need above density). Railways that don't go to London need to be built, again density is needed.

None of this will happen. We need voting reform first.

But I swear to God, if I had to bet on it I'm betting on artificial super intelligence controlling the country as the most likely way that any decent land reform gets done.

This country sucks and it's because of the cunts in it that only care about themselves.

I don't understand. What do you mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (4 children)

The most interesting thing is the growth

China reached its first 1 GW of installed solar in 2010

10 GW by mid-2013.

By June 2017, total installed capacity exceeded 100 GW

China has reached 1 TW of installed solar mid 2025

Last time I heard about this it was all over Facebook and shit.

Then the government, police and drs came out and said there was no evidence and when you think about it it doesn't make any sense.

Honestly how many women have you seen smash way way too many drinks and claim they got spiked. No you weigh fuck all, you were smashing drinks, thats why you can't stand. We've all drank too much.

"NO one wants electric cars!"

"I want one!"

"There is no demand!"

"Man China builds really nice electric cars I wish I could buy one"

"Foreign cars are shit and aren't as good as ours"

"Wow those foreign cars got such new things! I wish I could have them in my car. Or just the bog standard stuff! I get all this extra crap I dont want and none of the good stuff"

"Our cars have subscription costs, our customers love that!"

"Fuck I wish I had an electric car the maintenance is so low"

"You got to by expensive parts from us. We hate you"

I'd go to one.

I went to Qatar and tried to find out if they did LPG tours. They don't. :( well at least not easily.

Went out drinking with friends in Prague. Didn't get lucky, but wasn't really trying and started walking back.

Some guy stopped us advertising something and making hang gestures and one of my friends didn't want to go in because there was a fee to get in. I said I pay for him. So I thought the three of us were going to watch a sex show. Turns out it was a brothel. It was fucking scary going down in there because there all big guys and narrow winding corridors in the dark and gates to go through. At that point I really fucking regretted it but we had to keep going.

Came out to a bar with a load of girls and a small stripper pole thing. Thank god. We got a beer each, I found out it was a brothel and the other guys knew haha and immediately girls were all over us it was real nice. We didn't really have much time to do anything and they were trying to get us into another room I asked a girl how much. Said fuck it let's go.

She was touching me up and saying nice things real fake. Anyway we got naked and she was pretty and had a good body. Started going at it missionary and she was all "OMG. Your the best I've ever had. OMG. AAAWWW. AWWW! YES! OMG. YES just like that.

I kept telling her to stop and to be quiet. Then eventually I was like "look. Seriously its putting me off".

Then we got into it. Then we really got into it. She was making all the right noises and holding me and I was holding her. It felt like a decent one nice stand. We got into it we kissed which when I thought back I was like how did that happen. We chatted, for a little and it was friendly. I asked if i could shower and she said no.

When I went back into the main room to get my friends. I left she gave me a nice look and her friend was looking at me like she said something nice about me.

It was really great actually. Then a few years later I went to the same place and it was meh

It's going to be like a credit score soon.

I'll just set up my government backed tiktok and like some videos about how Palestine Genocide is Antisemitic bullshit, how Israeli is great, how great paid medical care is and then I can travel to America. Got to give them my non voluntary, voluntary tip for entry though, only 20% of flight cost (but they will give me a dirty look for it being so low).

How we made it: will China be the first electrostate? (www.ft.com)
 

"China could be on its way to becoming the world’s first major “electrostate”, with its electrification rate climbing to 30 per cent, ahead of the EU and US where electricity as a final share of energy has plateaued at about 22 per cent in recent years."

Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night (thehill.com)
 

"The Texas Senate passed a bill Thursday that leading business interests fear would lead to an age of expensive power and rolling blackouts.

If passed by the House, state S.B. 715 would require all renewable projects — even existing ones — to buy backup power, largely from coal or gas plants.

This would require solar plants in particular to buy backup power to “match their output at night — a time when no one expects them to produce energy and when demand is typically at its lowest anyway,” consultant and energy expert Doug Lewin wrote in an April analysis"

Crude oil futures end week lower as market eyes potential for increased supply amid OPEC+ tiff (www.spglobal.com)
 

"Crude oil futures settled lower on the week as the market eyed a potential for rising global supply amid signs of internal OPEC+ tensions.

Prompt-dated June WTI settled at $63.02/b April 25, a gain of 23 cents on the day but down $1.66/b from the April 17 close. Front-month ICE Brent ended the April 25 session up 32 cents at $66.87/b but still down $1.09/b from its week-ago level.

Selling pressure emerged midweek after Kazakh Energy Minister Erlan Akkenzhenov on April 23 roiled crude markets when he said Kazakhstan would pursue its own "national interests" when determining production levels, raising doubts about the country's commitment to fulfilling output cuts as part of the OPEC+ producer group"

Pakistan’s 22 GW Solar Shock: How a Fragile State Went Full Clean Energy (cleantechnica.com)
 

"Pakistan isn’t the first country you’d expect to crash the global solar party. But by the end of 2024, it quietly rocketed into the top tier of solar adopters, importing a jaw-dropping 22 gigawatts worth of solar panels in a single year. That’s not a typo or a spreadsheet rounding error. That’s the kind of number that turns heads at IEA meetings and makes policy analysts double-check their databases. It certainly made me sit up and take notice when I first heard about what was happening in mid-2024.

It’s more solar than Canada has installed in total. It’s more than the UK added in the past five years. And yet it didn’t make a blip in most Western media."

The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out. The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024 (ember-climate.org)

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."
