And no, I could not just leave instead. My first company, Freshflow, is valuable enough that walking out of Germany would trigger a massive six-figure exit tax
Something is wrong here if you will be liable for at least a hundred grand of exit but balk over 25k to start a new company.
LCOE
Is bunk. You should be using LFSCOE instead.

Anyone who has any mechanical inkling would see that the NLG rotates around the massive bushing and putting a pin in there won’t stop anything.
All sorts of congratulatory posts about AR7...the £94 /MWh being roughly the level of today's wholesale power price is being used as some sort of positive signal
So here are some facts:
* The average wholesale power price in 2025 was £80 /MWh * The carbon price was £35 /t a year ago and £73 /t today * Carbon was c11-12% of the wholesale power price a year ago * It's c28% today * AR7 contracts are for 20 years vs 15 years in AR1-6 * AR7 is the highest price since the first auction * We started subsidising wind in 1990!!
How anyone can think this is good news is beyond me. It's obviously good news for the subsidy farmers who will enjoy 20 year contracts at inflated prices, unless Reform wins the next General Election and rips them up in which case it will be pretty bad news
It is terrible news for consumers, embedding high prices for decades to come
Get in. we've just locked in / subsidized the most expensive form of energy.
but if they go down by 1 cent per kwh then technically the price did go down.
They’re the new bitcoin bros.
Germans are missing that cheap Russian energy.
Just put it in the hold. I can’t stand waiting for the cheapskate to find somewhere to put their 45kg “rucksack” in the over head bins just to save a tenner.
Its so easy that you can’t name me a single city of more than 10000 people that runs entirely off renewables.
Can confirm have paid for the bus.
One day, after "seeing" some good shots in my head and totally missing them due to phone camera limitations, I decided I had to fix it.
That was my problem. Went to an air show and used my iPhone 13 and got some good pictures. iPhone 16 comes out and it’s got a 5x zoom and the best camera ever. You’re gonna love it. And the pictures were better but still ok.
So I’ve gone all in and bought a proper Canon mirrorless and a selection of lenses including a 100mm to 400mm and it’s miles better.
I tell the camera what to focus on , I set everything and I control what it does no software second guessing me and taking a lovely picture of a tree and not the eurofighrer in the background.
I love that it’s got one job and it does it brilliantly.
And like the car completely hypothetical.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha
Breathes in
Aahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahhahahahahahahahahah
So how is that blockchain going? Still at a minuscule fraction of visa for 10x the power?
Could you explain the stacking process or put up a link explaining it?
£75 a month seems very reasonable for sports nerds, compared to the cost and availability in the past
good that you ignore the actual point of the comment that you replied to
That won't actually allow you to watch all of the matches that are played, because for weird historical reasons there's a TV blackout on matches played on Saturday afternoon - even if you've paid for your subscriptions, you'll only be able to watch about half of all league matches on TV.
I know this may seem amazing to people who don’t like cars but all the manufacturers buy each others cars for study and comparison. Hell the chinese steal most of their styling from other cars.
Need that anakin meme.
And it’s got the cheapest electricity right. …. The cheapest right?
they detained him for his drug use
is your closest gas station 2 miles away?
No but it only takes 3 minutes to dump 45 litres of fuel into my car and that lasts about 3 weeks of driving.
If you want to know more about the European transonic wind tunnel , there’s a great podcast from OMEGA Tau

I’ve got Virgin cable and can pull 6Gb a minute from fast.com. Your hypothetical 50Gb steam game would take a whole 9 minutes assuming steam can saturate my connection. So that’s like enough time to hit start download , make a brew and come back to the pc. Why bother.
How many flights were people allowed on back then and how much carbon tax did they pay?
and it's not a tenth as good looking as the concept
That and airbus didn’t want to keep supporting Concorde. And they held the type certificate
Here’s the talk that this article comes from.
I wouldn't call their electric division a success if they're writing off nearly 2 billion dollarydoos in investments
https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/21/for...
about $6,700 per EV sold in 2024.
Manual process.
“Our work shows that the main grid in the world’s fifth-largest economy was able to provide more than 100% of the electricity that it used from only four clean renewable sources: solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal, for anywhere from 5 minutes to over 10 hours per day for 98 out of 116 days during late winter, all of spring, and early summer, as well as for 132 days during the entire year of 2024, without its grid failing,
wow. great. so who is paying to maintain the backup?
The F-16 inerts it’s fuel tank ullage space with Halon.
why can't they use nitrogen ?
I’m old, so won’t see the benefits of this I’m sure
you won't see it because you'll be enjoying one of those lovely blackouts we'll get when we turn off all the AGRs and didn't build more nuclear
