I was told ‘renewable’ energy would cheap and effective.
Who do I see for a refund?

‘would cheap BE and effective.’
Sorry for the editing error.
I was distracted with perturbment over my outrageous electricity bill …
because my stupid Democrat controlled state can only meet 40% of its’ energy needs because of virtue signaling, politically expedient ‘Green’ energy fantasy goals.
Now they’re scrambling to rediscover nuclear, which will only take a decade if we’re lucky.
Dee-neye ‘Science’?
How about we not dee-neye engineering for a while.
I think the failure was intended the whole time.

‘would BE cheap and effective.’
Mis-edited again.
Still distracted with perturbment.

In the UK, we will be asking that question of HM Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, the Wonderful Mr. Miliband.
He of the Very Expensive Underwater Wires, naturally.
Whether he will have a sensible answer is, of course, moot.
But he might be able to tell us where our thousands of millions of pounds have gone!

THat’s not the attitude we expect, Honk.
You must merely scale down your energy use. The UK is leading the way

We can give you an hour of energy per day-from renewable sources of course. Would you like it all at once or we could offer 2 half hour sessions, as long as that doesn’t include any time after sunset.

In Australia, it’s a twit called “Blackout Bowen”. Good Luck with that.

Seems the egg industry in USof A has reached total failure point because of avian flu – H5N1, a novel strain of bird flu – and this egg producer has made the call to allow H5N1 vaccines to be given to poultry. Apparently vaccinating against Newcastle disease has occurred for decades so what harm will another one do?
There is no comment in the article on Marek’s disease and many will recall the excellent articles by Jo on the fact that the Marek’s disease vaccine was a “leaky vaccine” that has led to dire consequences. The following is the Brave AI response to the search “mareks disease vaccine was a leaky vaccine”:
“The Marek’s disease vaccine is indeed a leaky vaccine, meaning it prevents the disease’s symptoms but does not stop the virus from infecting the host or spreading to other chickens. This characteristic allows the virus to continue evolving into more virulent strains, which can pose a greater risk to unvaccinated birds.”
