The childish insult of a troll.

There's definitely a problem if daylight home or workplace charging is a must. But unless you know what percentage of capacity is idle at various off hours and how many vehicles could be charged at those times, you don't know enough to claim that there is insufficient capacity for x number of cars.

How do you know that? Grids are built to be able to withstand the periods of strongest demand. How much less is demand during off hours? Without hard numbers to back up your claim, you're basically just making an assertion.

What makes you think the UK isn't increasing its resources already?

You mean before any more EVs are added to the current number, the UK should upgrade its capacity so it can service millions and millions of EVs? It won't work to upgrade gradually?

It's really weird. Mr. Derek writes this: The more you whine and shriek about me not getting vaccinated, the more I'm not going to - precisely because of your whining and shrieking, because I refuse to be running scared like you. So maybe this is Mr. Derek's peculiar way of thanking you for putting him off vaccines? It's your fault and thanks!

Are you my child?. There's no reason I should have to make the effort to prediigest admirably clear and accessible prose just to satisfy your whims. Just more trolling on your part.

Because they can overtax the system during the day. What do you think that proves?

14000 miles away? You sure about that?

A similar crunch threatens China.

No, not so. For that to be the case somehow the mortality rate of the unvaccinated would have to rise to compensate for their declining total number. For example if the population is 50 percent vaccinated and 50 percent unvaccinated let's say that the unvaccinated provide 99 percent of the deaths. For the sake of argument, lets say that amounts to 9900, with the vaccinated proving 100 deaths. Now if the number of unvaccinated falls to 25 percent, to keep its contribution at 9900 deaths, its mortality rate would have to double. Why would it double? Does this cohort somehow know that because it's only half the size it once was, then it has to double its death rate to still contribute 9900 deaths? How would that work?

AS I pointed out, they can charge them during off peak hours. Which, according to UK law, amount to 15 hours every day.

To follow up, the problem with the statistic is that it was taken at a time when a lot more people were unvaccinated. So naturally the percentage of deaths from the unaccinated was a lot higher since the group was a lot bigger then. Rachelle Walensky noted that a covid case was 14 times more likely to result in the death of unvaccinated person than in a vaccinated one. That's the important figure. As you have pointed out, that 98-99 percent figure was transitory and can't possibly be the same now.

And there aren't 100 million EVs right now either.

Your points are hardly relevant to the fact that you failed to acknowledge the big effect this had on the German power grid but blamed other factors instead.

And the energy storage problem is being solved. I advised you to look up companies like Form Energy and Zinc8 which use inexpensive storage systems capable of long term storage. Lots of others, too.

Here's what I wrote:" And do you think that EVs will completely drain their batteries every day and need a full charge?" Do you understand the difference between "drain" and "completely drain""

And how much competition for electric power consumption will EV's have at night? And do you think that EVs will completely drain their batteries every day and need a full charge? As for energy storage, there are lots of systems that are just being put into use that can store lots of power at a very low price. Look up Form Energy which uses rust as a storage medium. Or Zinc8 which uses well, whaddya think? And one of Germany's problems is that nuclear power plants have been shut down prematurely in the wake of Fukushima. But you must know that but aren't discussing it bacausse that wouldn't advance your argument, would it?

If you really want to know, here's an explanation of why despite falling renewable prices, electricity costs are rising Renewables are cheaper than ever – so why are household energy bills only going up? https://theconversation.com/renewables-are-cheaper-than-ever-so-why-are-household-energy-bills-only-going-up-174795

Actually, if you buy genuine "namtaan oi"."น้ำตาลทอ้อย" what you'll get is crystallized unrefined sugar. Which is what brands like Grandma and Brer Rabbit basically are with just a little woter added. It costs me 45 baht per kilo. I get it at grocery stores or stalls at located the local markets. Just add about 15% by weight of water to the stuff and stir it and you've got a product indistinguishable from the kind of molasses you're looking for. Of course, if you're just using it to add to your coffee, you don't need to liquify it at all. But be sure to get the genuine unrefined namtaan oi. It should be a very very dark brown.

A saying from the Oracle of Delphi comes to mind: "Know thyself."

But some of us manage to cite the opinions of actual experts while others prefer to bloviate. "IMHO" does not exempt remarks from valid criticism.

A pity that Airalee won't be reading my correction to this latest post of his. First off, the information about ICU bed availability came straight from an official governmental agency, the lying left wing Texas Department of State Health Services. Second, as the article pointed out, it's not physical ICU units that are lacking, but hospital workers trained to staff them. They're lacking because so many have burnt out because of the prolonged pandemic and the loons and ignoramuses who insist on not getting vaccinated. Also, many of them are now infected with Covid themselves.

What's particularly interesting is the link under table 16 that leads to this: "Interpretation of data There is a large risk of misinterpretation of the data presented in this section due to the complexities of vaccination data. A blog post by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), formerly Public Health England (PHE), provides a comprehensive explanation of the biases and potential areas for misinterpretation of such data. They state that a simple comparison of COVID-19 case rates in those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated should not be used to assess how effective a vaccine is in preventing serious health outcomes, because there are a number of differences between the groups, other than the vaccine itself, and these biases mean that you cannot use the rates to determine how well the vaccines work." https://publichealthscotland.scot/media/11223/22-01-19-covid19-winter_publication_report.pdf

"Increased age remains a significant predictor of increased risk of a severe outcome, but the protective effects of vaccination remain apparent for every age group. • .. In the period since 26 November 2021, the number of fully vaccinated people with severe outcomes is reflective of the high number in the community who are fully vaccinated. However, the proportion of fully vaccinated cases who experience severe outcomes is still lower than that for un-vaccinated people in every age group, demonstrating the effectiveness of vaccines to protect against severe outcomes" https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Documents/covid-19-surveillance-report-20220113.pdf
