How stupid do you have to be to produce an offshore wind promo video in front of stationary turbines? They must think we're as daft as they are.
Stationary wind turbines which (when they do spin) produce electricity at a cost of £163/MWh (double the current wholesale price). A perfect encapsulation of the utter vacuity of SNP rhetoric on energy. Imagine if these costs could not be defrayed across all GB bill payers…
B-29 "Doc" arrived in style with a high speed pass and landing in front of a pop-up thunderstorm at the end of Thursday’s Air Show. Enjoy a solid minute of four R-3350s rumbling their way to Boeing Plaza. #OSH25 #b29 #warbird #aviation #airplane #airshow
Pleased to learn that the SSZ airship mooring rings I first discovered in 1970 are still in situ at Donkey Hollow on the former WW1 RNAS station at Polegate, East Sussex.
This weekend we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the launch of STS-114—the first shuttle flight after the tragic Columbia accident 2.5 years earlier. 📷 The first Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver below the @Space_Station helped inspect Discovery's heat-resistant tiles for damage.
Nine months on since the budget and still on the front pages every week. The disastrous human and economic impact of this IHT policy will keep it there until it is sorted, but @HMRCgovuk still see it worthy of giving someone a prize for it. Extraordinary. @NFUtweets
“There is a deep and growing divide between rural communities and Westminster, largely due to the architects of policy that seek to do things to the countryside, rather than for it.”⬇️ express.co.uk/news/politics/…
In difficulty in the water? Remember these tips and float to live. Your legs may sink and that's okay! Everybody floats differently. Practise at a safe location like a swimming pool to learn how you float best. In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
None of these essentials to modern life will exist without coal, oil & gas. Civilisation based on wind turbines & solar contraptions is no world at all. It is a new Dark Age - no tractors, heavy machinery, air travel, space exploration, satellites, medicine, universities, AI or…
The price of offshore wind power has soared by 11% in the latest renewables subsidy package as the Government's promise to cut energy bills by £300 fails to materialise once again. dailysceptic.org/2025/07/25/win…
When the only “farmers”you know are billionaire rock stars 🌟 ……………… How about talking to some real genuine family farms ? those working 100hrs a week to earn less than the minimum wage, under huge (suicidal even) levels of pressure now watching their multi generational,…
“Guy I know has a farm he’s loaded let’s tax farmers “ said James Mee 🤦♂️ Been proud of winning a award that has killed britains food security is a little odd I’d be proud more of been on tv program with @edsheeran and graham norton #TaxTheCastleOnTheHill
Shortly before the next flight, I will do a live technical update on Starship, going over progress to date and engineering/production/launch plans for the future.
New SpaceX website looks great!Lots of details on upcoming launches, not just the ones a day or two away. Awesome new Cape Canaveral Starship pad render, too. SpaceX.com
I remember a briefing from the Director of Sales at Monarch on how they used data from Experian to tailor advertising but this is taking it to the next level.
Delta Airlines to begin using artificial intelligence algorithms to scrape your emails and more to determine the maximum amount you’re willing to spend on tickets, then adjust your price Example: If you have a death in the family, they’ll know it’s urgent and the price will go…
No nation will reclaim its health by swallowing mitochondrial toxins like statins. True vitality springs from nourishment, movement, and rejecting pharmaceutical quick fixes.
A record number of farms shut in wake of inheritance tax raid. Labour’s ‘disastrous policies’ blamed as more than 6,000 businesses close. Shame on the Labour government for this. A spiteful and disgraceful way to destroy family farming and threaten national food security.
Lets have a chat about... A lesser known aspect of the 1982 Falklands Conflict, the San Carlos Forward Operating Base (FOB) 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗
It can take generations to set up farms that survive the vicissitudes of weather and war. It takes a single government, fired with resentment and unable to imagine a time when food runs scarce, to destroy them. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
. @NASA has removed their GISS V2 temperature data, which had less data tampering than their current V4 version. When government agencies hide historical data, it means they are erasing history. data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistem…
NET ZERO - Australian realist taking on the Net Zero ideologues. No point beating around the bush 🤣
Wind turbine construction: The base of a wind turbine, or foundation, can weigh between 600 and 1,000 tons. Wind turbine blades are built with balsa wood which is obtained by deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Wind turbines contain concrete, carbon fiber, steel, cast…
