    Electric cars aren't the future

    My last March months bills was £130 for all my heating hot water and cooking in a 5 bed house and my wife and daughters turned on the outdoor hottub, Which pulled 100kwh on its own, I don’t usually turn it to anything but frost watch at that time of the year, unless they all do. The reason, i...

    Electric cars aren't the future

    as for this thread's topic, I hope electric cars are the future as there is no future in ice as our core power for transport. it will take 40 plus years to move our economies away from fossil fuels, if we sat as we are for the next 40 plus years then it's likely fuel will be many time the price...

    Electric cars aren't the future

    did you? your last post didn't indicate you knew we had some being built. as you said we had none planned. I would also point you to what Rollsroyce has in the works. https://www.rolls-royce.com/innovation/small-modular-reactors.aspx#section-overview

    Electric cars aren't the future

    charging rates have been and are improving, I look at all tech, hydrogen is only ever going to be a side show, if you think rolling out charging for ev's is expensive, then do not pray for hydrogen as that's going to cost far more to roll out and you're handing your custom back to big business...

    Planning uplift

    Does that mean that you’re willing to sell yours at what you think they should be worth rather than what it is? as that’s unlikely we have to cope with what is rather than what we think it should be. As I said Linking buyers to land so they can self build cuts out all the profitability that...

    Planning uplift

    https://www.townscountiespostcodes.co.uk/towns/alphabetically.php that’s 11.6 houses per year for each town and village, to get the 500,000 new homes per year. towns are likely to take a few more and villages a few less, and that doesn’t include any city expansion. If cities took 25% of the...

    Planning uplift

    why? anyone wanting 200+ houses built it going to get the best discounts. and the council will have the rents, and council tax to fund them.

    Planning uplift

    you don't understand how it works if you think that. and developers often foot the bill for roads and other services, but each project is different. roads have very strict specs drawn up by councils the developer has to deliver on those at their expense if the council is to adopt the road into...

    Planning uplift

    I had seen this a few weeks ago, my suggestion was, instead of robbing landowners with below value compulsory purchases, they relax planning and start schemes for self builds. to locals in villages etc, cut out developers all together. first land value is a product of supply and demand, so...

    Private eye nails it

    if SFi is not the solution and I agree I would say the trade is part of this problem, they are already importing crops far faster than normal to stabilise supply in the uk, so even local shortages as we would likely see this year that would see rising ex farm pricing, are reduced by the trade...

    Fieldbee or FDJ?

    not sure, the best bet is to just ask straight out. no doubt I have the same version if they are changing them, if they do tell you, ask what they changed.

    Fieldbee or FDJ?

    the base station is 2.5km in radio mode and 25km when in mobile data mode, it has a dual use mode which can use both radio and mobile data at the same time. and it gives 2cm RTK. it's also portable and can do a day's work off its internal battery, so as I have in the past when drilling in bad...
