I've had months of Shell telling me to put my DD up to £280 (it's £210 now and was originally £96 with my previous supplier :mad: ) I kept putting it back to £210 after they kept changing it because I knew I wasn't going to use that much in the winter, plus the gov't rebate thingy would kick in.

As of today, I'm £360 in credit and they only took £144 this month.

They couldn't organise a pi$$ up in a brewery. :rolleyes:

This is what I mentioned weeks ago. They will use the gov rebate as part of your payment instead of on top of it, so you end up in debit by spring.
I had to phone customer services twice before I could convince them to leave my existing payment as was and then put the rebate on top, which
should see me zeroing out as the spring rolls in.
Absolute imbeciles they are.

If you have a smart meter, why aren't you paying for what you have actually used each month :unsure:
 
Thank you for the in depth analysis explaining why the study is wrong. 🤪
Uk gov reports show at best 39% , what they don’t say is wether it’s a one time 39% when all the planet’s align or they can guarantee a regular 39%
privately Owned and run for the good of the consumers doesn’t shout cheap electricity to me

U.K. gov don’t want renewables, or at least their sponsors don’t, they’re hardly likely to promote it.
Privately owned would be the problem.

Nobody in there right mind would want them
approx
3 million for a 3.5 mgw turbine that will power 100 homes
bear in mind 30% output from the turbine and the 3 mill doesn’t include any infrastructure land etc
you do the maths it’s madness

Not to mention the oil-based hydraulic fluid this things use.
 
The content can be largely decided by who and why it was written Al.

Joule is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Cell Press. It was established in 2017 as a sister journal to Cell. Philip Earis is it's editor in chief and before being appointed in 2017, spent 3 years in india leading a project to supply electric through solar panels to remote indian villages.

Cell press was bought by Elsevier in 2017. Elsvier seems to be a publisher of various scientific magazines and journals. They have a history of publishing what they call shadow libraries or pre prints. Shadow libraries tend to be sources of readily available content that is normally obscured or otherwise not readily accessible. Such content may be inaccessible for a number of reasons. Paywal or other barriers to accessibility placed upon the content by its original owners

Preprints tend to be the papers themselves put forward in journals that push they are pier reviewed but preprints are not, they are simply the author/s interpretations. This gives the false impression that they have been pier reviewed for legitimacy

Now forgive me Al, I like to know who and why some are putting information in, it helps with the context. I can't help but think you haven't read it yourself Because after your continual anti government daily bashing, you seem to not have noticed/mentioned, this bit at the bottom

So you see Al, knowing the who and why is nearly as important as the what

I hope that helps :D

*I forgot to add. At the top of the page of the article under the title, there are 4 names, you can click on them and see information. How many of them do you think are funded by George Soros's, The Institute For New Economic Thinking? Have a click and find out. :giggle:

Plus the short lifespan - and the trouble in recycling the blades, which currently have to go into landfill.
