The department also uses theoretical maximum output figures for solar plants. Such output requires full midday sunshine on equatorial sites. Reality in UK weather is around 12% of that maximum!

It’s the same with solar. They use theoretical max output which can never be achieved in UK weather. Actual output is around 12% of theoretical max.
I have now published my correspondence with DESNZ, which reveals that they are "costing" renewables using their maximum rather than their average output.

I believe there is a restriction that it only applies to one EU country at a time so can’t for example work in Spain for a year then go to France for 2
Do you welcome @Keir_Starmer's plans to agree to a reciprocal deal whereby European nationals under 30 can live & work in the UK for up to 3 years & British under-30s enjoy the same opportunities anywhere in the EU?

I have followed you here for two years and will continue! I am in UK near London but my coffee cup is from Cornwall
Wait a minute. Many people are leaving this website. Maybe you are staying (I am as well). But if you decide to leave, as our patience has limits, let's stay in touch. I put all the links in my profile description. So before leaving, just come to check where we can meet again or join me now somewhere else 😘 Can you please react to this tweet? Maybe it will help others to see it. Thank you!

It’s insured by UK companies so need to stop that
Today we crackdown on Putin’s shadow fleet. The fleet, made up of hundreds of vessels, generates revenue for the Russian war chest, carries millions of barrels of oil per day and puts our security at risk. Today’s sanctions target these deceptive and disruptive practices.

Definitely. And on new homes, shops, offices and warehouses.But we need to make panels in UK not import from China
Covering car parks with solar panels is a lot more logical than plastering them on prime farmland.

4 if new Goverment wants to stimulate growth then they should encourage manufacturing of solar panels in UK along with insulating building materials, triple glazing etc to reduce imports especially from China. Solar panels should be on new homes, warehouses and along roads etc

Since becoming the Conservative candidate last July I have given Say No To Sunnica my full support and I will continue to do so as the local MP. We will consider the options available to us.

3 Solar Plants are unmanned so remotely controlled using Chinese electronics. Plants are connected to #NationalGrid so open door for hostile actors to hack into Grid. Major security issue.

Panels last 15 to 20 years when they need replacing. They cannot be recycled so go to landfill with toxic rare earth minerals. 95% of solar panels are made in #China using silica processed by slave labour in Xinjiang province.

Many probably most #SolarPlants are financial scams to create “Carbon Credits” to sell to oil companies or airlines to offset their CO2 emissions. Some facts- Solar panels only produce 12% of their stated output in UK because of our weather and night time.

Quite right. UK does not have anti missile systems in place against #Russian cruise missiles or bombers although #RAF could intercept bombers .No air raid shelters or alert systems here either…
⚡️ NATO will call for all 32 members to put in place civil defense plans in case of an Article 5-level attack at the alliance’s Washington summit, - Foreign Policy. ❗️The move is part of an ongoing effort within NATO to prepare for a possible future Russian attack on the alliance.

What about #AUKUS? I haven’t seen or heard anything about it from #Labour Important for defence and also high tech jobs in UK
Labour can’t be trusted on defence. Starmer wants to appoint 13 frontbenchers who voted against trident, Rayner broke ranks to reaffirm she wants to scrap our deterrent & Lammy poses a real threat as a lifelong anti-nuclear campaigner.

As #Labour has dropped idea of changing charity laws why can’t #PrivateSchools reduce fees so VAT then ask for donations which attract #GiftAid returns of 20% ?
