Brexit did not cause the spike in immigration, it was Boris Johnson removing restrictions and allowing almost unfettered migration into the country. One of many reasons why the Tories are now irrelevant.

Germany has squandered over half a trillion euros on Energiewende, and to show for it they have the second filthiest grid in Europe, has some of the highest electricity costs in the world and still relies on coal. Half a trillion euros could have bought dozens of gigawatts of clean and reliable nuclear capability.

I live half-way up the UK at about 54 degrees north. My panels produce virtually nothing between late October and mid February.

This year has been unusually good for solar production but it usually peaks when I don't need it. Will probably look into getting a battery, though despite how I keep hearing about how cheap they are now someone needs to tell the installers.

The issue that it's now being poorly done all the time. Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver showed everyone how strong women should be portrayed in the Terminator and Alien franchises, we've seen little like it since.

And they bought more just the other day. The IMF should have insisted that they stop and sell their reserves before receiving any more loans. It's like giving money to a gambling addict.

The vast majority of buses in cities travel the same routes, day after day. A bit more than your made up 2%, don't you think?

Instead of trying to get battery and hydrogen power to work, buses can collect electric current from wires strung above the road. This will make the buses lighter, more efficient, safer and enable them to run all day and night.

I've even come up with a name for them: "Trolleybuses".

I also thought of a more advanced concept where these electric buses run on rails set into the road but I don't want to start a revolution here.

Modern? Quake and its offspring was using prediction and other netcode tricks back in the 90s.

Since all of the Quake games are open-source I wouldn't be surprised if many modern games are still using that code.

You've neglected to mention that the Chinese currency is manipulated . If the Yuan was traded freely, their exports wouldn't be so attractive.

There's also a significant luck element to the game. Your opponent drawing most of the blanks and letter S is pretty much a shoo-in to win. Naturally it should balance out over many games but there have been times I've cursed my opponent for their luck in the draw.

The only people I've known who have ever claimed that Scotland is 100% renewable were some deluded members of the SNP.

More wind is not the answer as the intermittency and storage problem will never be resolved. Adding more will just lead to an over abundance on sunny and windy days, with a massive deficit on cold and still winter nights.

The UK and most of Western Europe experienced near nil wind from August-November 2021, the output would be the same if you had a thousand turbines or a hundred thousand.

Ironically, it was the EU in a series of directives beginning in 1966 that dictated that energy markets had to be liberalised ostensibly to increase competition and benefit consumers. It worked well for a while, until it didn't.

Wind and solar do not behave like that

They absolutely do. Solar output drops to almost nothing in the UK winter, my own panels are testament to that. As for wind, the entire British Isles can suffer from becalment for weeks at a time. The Germans even have a word for it: Dunkelflaute. No amount of storage, whether battery, hydro or whatever is going to see the grid through such a period.
