Power Struggles: Why the UK Is Paying Wind Farms to Switch Off
Wind power works when its 'windy'... The 'GRID' definitely needs an upgrade! Wind power isn't truly "free" despite the wind itself being a free resource. Here's why: Initial Costs: Wind turbines require significant upfront investment for manufacturing, installation, and land acquisition. A single commercial turbine can cost $1-4 million, depending on size and location. Maintenance: Turbines need regular upkeep, repairs, and part replacements (e.g., blades, gearboxes), which can cost $40,000-$150,000 annually per turbine. Grid Integration: Connecting wind farms to the power grid involves infrastructure costs, including transmission lines and energy storage systems to handle wind's intermittent nature. Operational Costs: Labor, monitoring, and administrative expenses add to the total cost. Levelized Cost: The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for onshore wind is around $25-$50 per MWh, competitive with fossil fuels but not zero. Offshore wind is pricier, at $50-$100 per MWh. Subsidies and Incentives: Some governments offer tax credits or subsidies, which can lower costs for consumers, but these are funded by taxpayers. Once built, wind power is cheap to run since there’s no fuel cost, and it produces no emissions, making it one of the lowest-cost electricity sources over time. However, "free" overlooks the substantial capital and ongoing expenses. -

Finance Foreign Nationals Face Account Bans in Bangkok Bank Crackdown
That's interesting insofar as they might have decided to give affected customers some advance warning before locking them out, which didn't seem to be the case before. Did they tell you any specifics, such as where you need to go ("your" branch or any branch) and by what date? -

Why more retirees in Thailand are switching to long-term health insurance
Your post suggests you will have a choice, and thus a decision to make. What about a stoke or heart attack, a very common medical episode that comes with age. You'll be taken to the nearest hospital where you will either be able to pay and saved, or can not pay and die. Even if you could be transferred to a Thai government hospital, would you trust them with life saving heart surgery? -

Krungsri Banking App
Ask at the bank or telephone them. I think they may have a branch in London, though. 1572 is the help line here
