[brassnecked]

Have camping stoves led lanterns some oil lamps and an inverter generator so we can run a couple of computers the router and lights as WFH so long as mobile signal up can use 4G, will just have to make sure have 20 litres petrol on hand for any short ish say 4 hour outages

[brassnecked]

Yes supplies of the cartridges will dry up once Camping season over so am stocking up before the price doubles.  Propane for houses in upper village with no mains gas £43 for 13Kg cylinder

Absolutely correct  but even some Social Homes in my area are solid fuel and propane for heating with portable heater's also, the Social Landlords involved are always monitoring the situation in those properties and are looking at solutions for heating going forward  and yes the storage of such fuels is a no no in flats/multi storey.      Any flammable fuels I have are  stored in an outbuilding away from the house,  quantity compliant with the regulations, and in properly designed metal fuel jerricans.

Engineered fear and lack of long term planning.  Its an illness endemic in governments and rapacious profit driven Utilitiy Companies called short termism.

No they have been winding down gas storage for years, when Limp Dim Ed Davey was a Minister in Coalition, he was less than stellar on the issue, this article from 2014 shows it was crucial backthen with a similar threat of Russia turning the gas off.  Don't forget Net Zero means gas must go.

They decided in Cameron's day that they were going all out on Claimate Change and Renewables, its all part of the UN Agenda 2030.  Klaus Schwabs musings from 2014 seem to have predicted the current situation.

Its going to go all Kaiser Chief's on them then TJ, many especially singles  and low income families workingh with UB top ups on benefits don't even have £500 in total per month after rent mortgage, and Council tax all paid so they are screwed.,

Martin Lewis could be right on this one. looks like a bike on a frame connected to a dynamo and a battery like in Soylent Green incoming to keep a light on.

[brassnecked]

The Energyco's are in French and other Foreign ownership?

[brassnecked]

Winners and loser's both ways TJ, Brexit was a mismanaged mess.

[brassnecked]

They seem to have purposely let infrastructure deteriorate.

[brassnecked]

Need to be wary of that one links to Soros and Clintons apparently

[brassnecked]

worked fine for me  Stats jamie jamie Jenkins is punting that link on Twitter.

[brassnecked]

Will leave this here looks like the politicians are at war with the people.  For what good it does should OFGEM be abolished?

They will call for a UBI linked to a Carbon Social Credit system, thereby you self ration your use of electricity with a Carbon amount allocated per Kwh consumed.  Linked to a CBDC cash gone the way of the Dodo.

He will be off Princess Nut-Nut's Christmas card list then, the Climate Emergency is another method to introduce a CCP style Social Credit controlling Digi-ID system.

Perhaps we need to vote for none of the Main parties?

[brassnecked]

Look ast New parties see if anything of use, as it stands all main parties are WEF.

[brassnecked]

What about the Minnows? Teck Khong's ASlliance ADP. and in Wales Sovereign party, Propel and Gwlad?  Wales is a far different animal with the labour government full on Marx.  With Drakeford and Price you get what you would have with Corbyn, its like Animal Farm here with More Equal Animals rampaging.

Yes HB WEF is just that.  Klaus Schwab's father was a full on nazi.

Using the Passivehaus system had I the cash, I could build an extremely energy efficient home, with planning and  enough money, I could also power it off grid from renewables, at which point I would get into trouble with Ofgem as they would tell me off if I built another to sell or rent, as being off grid would remove the ability of the occupier to change supplier.  That's how loopy it is in the world of Ofgem.  Fact I was told that by and Ofgem rep at an energy conference I attended a while back in Cardiff.

 

 Passivehaus mso efficient, I could keep lounge warm purely from the  heat from a gaming or editing session on my workstation, with a RTX3090 GPU banging out the FPS in CyberPunk 2077 consuming 350 plus watts itself before factoring rest of PC in.  No need to have a radiator or heating on.

[brassnecked]

Exactly TJ they would but the Con/Lab/Lib are secure as the other party leader's are in their silo's and unwilling to talk to the other's.

The future is off grid or non carbon ?  Every roof with solar panels and storage either in house or communal. Wind turbines in every neighbourhood. 

 

Perhaps the big energy suppliers understand their business could decline in the decades to come, so they are trying to maximise their profits now and Ofgem are helping them ?

There are groups in Wales looking at local energy and community schemes that might well freeze out the biggies.

[brassnecked]

Doing some research and contacting some of those groups, likely solar is involved with other  things, several people I know who are off grid in remote areas in Wales  use deep cycle batteries as used in submarines, so lead acid in a shed with an inverter charged by soolar, and even in one case a small hydro turbine in a pipe from a stream.

[brassnecked]

British Gas are one of the worse to try to contact also.  Their website is obstructive and just leads people around a circle of questions and answers that don't help.

Yes the achilles heel of heat pumps as an air to air heat pump is at a most basic level a refrigerator in reverse.
