UK worst place in the world to site solar farms
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2025/01/22/uk-worse-place-in-world-to-put-solar-power/#more-85408
I live in coastal Devon , one of the funniest counties at some 1800 hours of sun per year.We are importing billions of solar panels made using coerced Labour and coal power then getting a pitiful amount of energy from them
Our politicians are truly mad. Presumably there are big plans in sunny OZ for solar farms?

Remarkable day for UK wind and solar!

We are curreNtly in very sunny Austria but people are telling us how grey and miserable it is back home.
Mind you lots of solar panels here do not generate power for a quarter of the year as they are often in villages that are in the deep shadow of the mountains

Same with Germany. Just go more Nuclear.

Malware on the Gateway Pundit site
I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, but I have had an issue when reading the Gateway Pundit.
Firstly I had multiple occasions when an unexpected screen would appear from Security Protection Centre, which would perform a scan and inform me that I had 26 virus and offer protection for $3.99/ month. Since I was using a new IPhone 13, this seemed unlikely so I would shut that down and reopen the site.
After a few days a new message appeared, claiming that I had been selected to a variety of prizes as one of 100 lucky Telstra customers. Again I would just close and then reopen the site.
Over the past 2 days I get the same message but purporting to come from Google.
It only happens if I am reading the Gateway Pundit.
I think it is an attempt to scare people away from the site. Has anyone else had the same issue?

As solar power is an unlikely energy source in the UK our clever elite are still looking to hydrogen to somehow plug the energy gap.
https://notrickszone.com/2025/01/19/oops-climate-rescuer-hydrogen-12-times-worse-for-the-climate-researchers-find/
In the comments section there is a discussion on the half life of co2. Has anyone got any views on the half life of this gas as politicians worry about it staying around for hundreds of years as a reason to get to get zero quickly

Hydrogen will not work at the moment. The cost of the energy required to extract the hydrogen makes the whole thing uneconomic. The Australian Guv’ment has provided incentives (loads of taxpayer and borrowed money) and even with this, it is still uneconomic. Some here have tried to make it work and have given up.
Green Hydrogen is another fantasy of the Climate Alarmists.
Maybe one day technology will come to the rescue. However, by then, other technologies may have have taken over.

Ivermectin to the rescue again. . . . as an anti cancer drug.
A combination of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole (and/or a similar drug Mebendazole) has had strong cancer treating properties. Not a cure, necessarily, but a strong treatment. Since all these drugs are off-patent, nobody will spend the money to do a Phase III trial. Still, if you are in stage 4, something to think about.

The dynamite new Offshore Wind EO calls for a thorough assessment so this is a small step in that direction.
Western offshore wind EIS is MIA
By David Wojick
https://www.cfact.org/2025/01/22/western-offshore-wind-eis-is-mia/
The beginning:
“Last month I analyzed various holes in the draft federal California Programmatic EIS (PEIS) for offshore wind. Now a new report shows that these seemingly big holes are tiny compared to the yawning Programmatic EIS gap created by the Federal Action Plan for West Coast offshore wind development.
To begin with the full California Program is huge compared to the measly five leases covered by the so-called California PEIS. The document I wrote about would be better called the Starter Kit EIS. Plus there is a lot of development off of Oregon and Washington.
I earlier pointed out that the PEIS document did not address the cumulative impact of those five leases; it just looked at the generic impact of one lease. But what is really Missing In Action is an environmental impact assessment for the entire West Coast Program.”
Lots more in the article. Please share it.
