What did you do to help him?

Many wind farms are not being proceeded with. The financiers are pulling out.

Works where the uptake is relatively small. I get 44 cents per kw/h that I export to the grid as I was an early adopter - 18 years ago. That number is around 8 cents now for new installs and likely to go lower. In some jurisdictions they are charging people for export when supply exceeds demand. You pay them. The Australian government has a battery subsidy in place where they pay part of the cost of purchase and installation. The catch is they will use the battery to prop up the grid when required. Quite an admission of a failed system. The batteries will derate much quicker than normal use. I bet the government won't be paying for their disposal and purchase of new ones. As mentioned I have PV power and it has it's place. Grid scale generation is not one of them.

Coal burners are not expensive. The can be built on existing sites using existing infrastructure. Solar and wind cannot. Read recently that Australia will be building around 43,000 kilometres of access roads just for pv and wind sites. Scars on the landscape.

Of course it was.

Oh, the irony. AI (very basic AI, not much more than a search engine) commenting on an AI thread. I don't think we have seen real AI yet. The world will be very different in 5 years or less.

Programmers will be a thing of the past. True will develop of its own accord.

Hilarious. Not.

Get rid of the LM laws and modernise the defamation laws. Both are used as a political force to hold Thailand back. Bring equality to all and you might see ordinary Thais start to excel.

If you looking for ladyboys you will find them. You do you.

Hardly surprising as the base load power stations have to run uneconomically to be available to make up for the shortfall in solar and wind at any given time. Most gas fired stations make more money on standby than they do generating. Government policy is causing this - who in their right mind would pour money into an old assets when the government wants to shut them down? Of course you will have breakdowns. Change the government and build more HELE coal fired stations. Not as though coal is in short supply. Looking forward to a government that drives policy from an economic standpoint and not pure ideology. Ever noticed how new ' initiatives' are introduced shortly after Albanese returns from his visit to Xi in China? Makes one wonder who is running the show.

You will own nothing and be happy. Won't need money. According the WEF.

Only once.

Breaking news on the tv. Peace deal has been accepted by Hamas. Palestinians are celebrating.

Totally agree. Automation decimated manual factory work from the late 1950's onwards AI, when it becomes truly intelligent, will decimate white collar work. It will also be used a weapon of war as evey invention by humanity has. Won't end well I fear.

I reckon you are right. When was the last time anyone used cologne? Pre deodorant days?

Love these posts. Mostly GG talking to himself, or one of his alternate personalities. Seriously, seek professional help.

And some of highest electricity prices in the world.

Not necessarily a good thing, but the Chinese way. Subsidise and produce goods cheaply and destroy the manufacturing industries in targetted countries. Everything China does is with strategic intent. In times of conflict existing manufacturing facilities can be quickly converted to support the war effort. If you don't have those facilities anymore............

Really?

Not trying to prove anything. As I said, I don't know it worked but it did. Maybe it was sheer luck, but dad and I searched the area for quite some time with no result. By the way most people think incorrectly of dowsing as exclusively water divining. A metal mudguard is not made of water. Perhaps the OP can comment.

I not an anti vaxxer, quite the opposite. I was very sceptical about dowsing, but what I saw made me think twice. I can't explain how it worked but it did. Just one piece of bent wire used. Me and my dad were travelling around the Goldfields in Western Australia. Dad had the gold bug and we went out prospecting. This is a very large ara and many places a very isolated. Dad had a trailer on the car and the yoke snapped along with the safety chain. Trailer flew off in to the bush at 110km/hr. We could see the trailer about a 100m away and dragged it back to the road. One mudguard had come off. We searched but couldn't find it. Along come a bloke- let's call him a " bush character" - in a VW Kombi van with back half turned into a tray. It was full of sheep's heads and bones. His job was to clear debris from transport routes roads, railways etc. We loaded the trailer onto the VW and mentioned we had lost the mudguard. Out comes the bent wire and off he goes. Me and were quietly laughing as we had searched high and low. After about 15 minutes the bloke comes out of the bush with the mudguard. I'm still wondering how it did these 60 years later. I still chuckle to myself about this bloke. He had a chicken that lived in the engine bay, nesting quite happily.

Don't know, give it a go.

Agree they may send some money home but your comments after that, in general, are nonsense.

Just clearing out the dead wood. Create an opportunity for younger, hungry, more tech savvy officers to advance in their chosen profession. Shame Thailand doesn't do the same with their generals
