too daft for words!

The 'Irish' Greens made a big deal about Wind farms powering 32% of Ireland's electricity last month.

"Hopefully, this is a sign of trends that will continue out over the course of the rest of the year," he said.

"We're continuing to build more onshore wind energy; it's having a very positive impact in the price reductions that we're seeing currently in the market and that will continue over the coming months.

What happens though for the 68% of the time when the wind don't blow?

Irish Green Economics   says build more of them - stupid morons! You can have a million windmills and if the wind don't blow they're all producing zilch! You presently can't store the stuff and if you could, imagine the fire risk of say a million EV batteries in line at one location!

Greens should be a notifiable disease, along with the entire EU ...

Thankfully nobody was hurt......THIS TIME.

Windmills again!  The Conservative party seem to be mad about them, but then the fools seem to think that if they build enough windmills they will stop 'global warming' in this country.
I assume that not one of them has a science degree.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 08:12:34 AMI hate it when a car drives very close behind me.. Eager to overtake..
They go shooting off.. at a silly speed.. lost over the horizon..
I usually catch up with them at the next traffic lights..

Just gently slow down.  Two advantages:
- they will have to slow down as well;
- if they do hit you from behind, it won't cause as much damage.

Do you have a rear-facing dash cam?  I do, as one fine day...

Not up here it's not, cloudy with showers accompanied by the usual wind coming in off the Atlantic.
