No, reopening them isn't cheaper than doing facilties from scratch. It's just faster to reactivate existent facilities than to build new ones . Even before the price in the spike of coal, when coal and gas were inexpensive, building a new solar or wind facility was as cheap as or cheaper than just running an existing coal plant. This is based on the levelized cost of energy. That is what would the average cost of energy be over the lifetime of a facility when all costs are factored in. Now, of course, given the high cost of coal and gas, there's no contest. https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-levelized-cost-of-storage-and-levelized-cost-of-hydrogen/

Well, it just seemed to me so unlikely that all you had to do was call and a medic would show up at your place. Such a costly service would make no sense. From what I've read, they only show up if you're very infirm and housebound or your symptoms might require even more costly emergency medical service. The NHS does try to steer patients away from utilizing emergency services when that's not necessary.

You studiously avoid the effect of the boycott on russia. Its economy has contracted at a rate greater than 4% for the last 2 quarters. Many of the members of the Russian Federation refuse to support its war effort. China has warned Russia not to attempt to do to Kazakhstan what it's doing to Ukraine.

Still peddling that nonsense? You can call them to visit you, but what you fail to note is that they can refuse to come. As the 111 website makes very clear.

I reposted what you wrote because it looks like you didn't even read even once.. Your posts repeatedly claim that medics are at one's beck and call for home visits. That's clearly very far from being the case.

If that was true, why all the moans from Brexiters about the EU treating the UK as though it was no longer a member of the EU but rather an unaffiliated nation even though it still retained some special privileges?

That really doesn't square with what you've claimed before viz.. "G.P's are a thing of the past these days , you either go directly to a hospital or you call the medics and they come and visit you at home or you go to a walk-in medical centre . You get seen immediately , rather than having to wait a few days for a doctors appointment . G.Ps and doctors appointments are old fashioned these days and from a bygone era" "They have medics on call these days who drive around visiting patients on the day you call them, much more convenient that going to a G.P" "You yourself decide whether you are ill enough to visit a G.P and whether you need assistant immediately or whether you can wait to visit the G.P in two weeks or if you are able , you can visit a hospital for daily aliments ."

I do recall when all the Brexiters were waxing indignantly about the loss of sovereignty over UK fishing grounds and the wonders Brexit would do for British fishing. Their solicitude for the UK's fishing industry seems to have evaporated as quickly from the scene as did Liz Truss.

You should look at that graph again. It's not nearly so unequivocal as you make it out to be.

So now you're not claiming that calling 111 guarantees you a visit from a healthcare worker? Because it certainly doesn't. Such a conclusion is warranted just by common sense. The unqualified service you previously claimed existed would be unaffordable on a nationwide scale and not very useful.

Not only is there a natural limiit on what can be pumped, but banks and shareholders have made it very clear that they don't want oil and gas companies making investments based on the supposition of high prices for oil and gas in the future. That kind of optimistic thinking financially wiped out a lot of frackers. A huge amount of capital was incinerated by the fracking industry. Not that this will stop those who don't know from blaming environmentalists and Joe Biden.

Despite all those rapists and murderers crossing over from south of the border. How do you figure?

Really? Use NHS 111 online (111.nhs.uk) or call 111 if you think you need medical help right now. We can direct you to the best place to get help if you cannot contact your GP during the day, or when your GP is closed (out-of-hours). Depending on what you need, you might be advised to: call 999 or go to A&E in an emergency go to an urgent treatment centre see an evening and weekend GP (out-of-hours GP) get a callback from a nurse contact an emergency dentist or find a dentist contact your own GP surgery see a pharmacist for a minor illness or to get medicine look after yourself safely at home https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services/when-to-use-111/ And of course, this service can't provide diagnostic testing.

This paragraph you cited does not say what you think it says. There is no guarantee of a home visit at all. "They will ask you a number of questions about your symptoms and concerns, and then advise you on the best course of action for you." Obviously, this service functions as a filter to direct people to the proper service. Nothing at all that suggest guaranteed home visits on request. I did a bit of looking around and I think this explanation from one GP's practice sums it up quite nicely: "You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. A doctor can see several patients in the time it takes to perform a home visit on one patient." https://www.kapurfamilycare.nhs.uk/practice-information/home-visits/ And, of course, the economic impact of such a program would be unsustainable if anyone who wanted to see a doctor or other health care worker at home regardless of their condition was able to.

Only if they determine that you are too ill or too infirm to make it to the G.P.

It does make one wonder what EVENKEEL believes he was doing here.

You mean because the filipinos are so enamored of the Chinese because they have claimed reefs and islands that the rest of the world recognizing as belonging to the Philippines? How do the other countries that share the South China Sea feel about China's appropriations of various reefs and island? You've got to be kidding.

He sold them for less than they were worth? How did he manage that?

Not true at all. They have twisted laws to support corporate interests against workers. And they actually and openly admitted that they were overturning voting rights laws because Congress hadn't changed them. This violated one of the right wing justices key precepts that it's Congress that legislates, not the courts.

So these are people who can afford to have two residences?

Utterly believable! At Trump Org, a 'generous,' 'forgiving' Trump reigned over thankful executives, the defense theory claims https://www.businessinsider.com/at-trump-org-trump-depicted-as-forgivng-and-generous-gifter-2022-11

And, of course, this was just one instance among many of Conservative lowlifes battening off the illicit awarding of contract to those connected to the Tories. LEAKING VIP LANE NAMES DOES NOT GET THE GOVERNMENT OFF THE HOOK FOR PANDEMIC PROCUREMENT Our report Track and Trace was raised in Parliament this week as MPs sought answers to our findings that one in five Covid-19 PPE contracts raised red flags for corruption. Although Ministers were evasive, questions about these contracts refuse to go away. Last week, Politico published a leaked government list of 47 firms that won PPE contracts through the VIP lane during the pandemic, including who made the referral. The VIP lane, first revealed by the National Audit Office in November 2020, was a high-priority channel established for ministers, parliamentarians, and government officials to refer companies for consideration for PPE contracts. https://www.transparency.org.uk/covid-19-contracts-PPE-VIP-lane-latest-news Of course, what else could be expected of a party that chose the ethically-challenged Boris Johnson to be its leader?

So where do they live when they are in London? On the street?

I cannot believe that anyone still takes Trump's lawsuits seriously. I would say his case for suing Hillary Clinton was laughed out of court but the judge didn't find it so amusing. Judge slaps sanctions on Trump lawyers for ‘frivolous’ Clinton lawsuit The judge said Trump’s lawyers pressed on with claims that were farcical or false, even after being put on notice that they were erroneous. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/10/trump-lawyers-clinton-lawsuit-00066381 And of course there's the current case re: the special master where it's clear that even Trump-appointed judges have no use for his team's legal nonsense. I could go on but it's clear you have to be absolutely and hopelessly biased to cite Trump's legal actions as valid evidence of any wrongdoing.

How many times will you keep on repeating the same B.S. and then getting corrected? As has beenpointed out to you repeatedly, Rudolph Giuiliani refused to release any data on the laptop that could confirm the veracity of the report. The seasoned NY Post reporter assigned to write the article about the data on the laptop refused to participate in it because he was given no time to do any investigation of its veracity. He understood how irresponsible it was to publish something that had undergone no independent investigation. Here's an explanation from one major media company about why it refused to publish. It's the same explanation others have offered: Here's what happened when NBC News tried to report on the alleged Hunter Biden emails Analysis: Trump complains the media isn't reporting on Hunter Biden's emails. But NBC News met obstacles, including Rudy Giuliani, when it tried. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/here-s-what-happened-when-nbc-news-tried-report-alleged-n1245533
