"Yesterday France announced the winners of the 250 MW South Brittany floating offshore wind auction, the world’s first commercial-scale floating offshore wind auction. This is a major milestone for floating offshore wind technology. So far Europe has only built small pilot and demonstrator projects. With yesterday’s announcement floating wind took a big step towards commercialisation and large-scale deployment."

I actually meant grid level expansion. But that too.

All they have done is free market supply and demanded the grid. That's why Texas has more solar than any other state, the market is working. Though it does have some downsides.

Good way to cause expansion renewables and batteries.

Europe really needs to get a handle on this. The left don't care and act like it is not an issue, the centre is profiting off it because they own the land and the businesses. The longer this goes on there becomes two options. Europe becomes a third world country or Europeans vote for someone that will actually do something. I would love a left party to actually act on all these immigrants but they won't and their parties are hemorrhaging voters. Going to be an interesting decade for politics.

Literally just because of the Bosphorus.

I lot of people look at this and say its just too much material for it to have happened.

But we know of projects that have used more man power. The London to Birmingham railway line took 5 years to build and moved more material than the great pyramid and we know exactly how that was done. The size of individual pieces does add complication, but the absolute quantity and manpower is not unexplainable.

Not exactly what you want but I heard about people in the military practising things and they learn. "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."

By doing that it makes you quicker. Sometimes when I'm late and start rushing I end up forgetting things or knocking things over or dropping. So I take a breath and say slow is fast. Also my career history is big on "right first time" doing something twice is a huge waste.

Also I remember Adam Savage said he got close to death (or was getting close to being rescued from death) then he told himself "Calm people live. Tense people die." and he managed to free himself.

Taking a moment might not just save you time or money it might save your life.

Of course they are. The point is it is normalised and that's the issue.

Women telling men what they should do, what they shouldn't do, how everything in their life is other men's fault and no one else's. All perfectly acceptable.

If we want men to be happier mentally we should start by asking men what they need. What we shouldn't do is get women to tell then what they need. Also women need to take responsibility for the negative things they do, why should they get a free pass to mistreat people? Just because they aren't "part of the patriarchy"?

Like I seen this the other day. Some guy talking about what makes him happy and he gets told he's sad for doing it.

Where I come from men's clubs are illegal. So yes, like it or not it's already been proven to have happened.

I like how you think know what all women have ever done though. My housemates was telling that what me and the members of our rugby club get up to at our own private bar, singing, drinking and fucking about with each other isn't okay. That although we are all their voluntarily and they we all very much enjoy it, and its good for our mental health, it shouldn't be allowed. In fact she said if it was up to her a lot of sport would be banned.

Here's a genuine question. Why do you, my housemates, other women think they know absolutely what is best for mental mental health when it goes against what men even say?

I've got a lot more support from men than I have from women. And I've seen guys get a lot more hurtful abuse from women than I have from men. But that goes against the narrative that all issues in the world are caused by the patriarchy and that women can do no wrong.

If the suicide rate is so high for men maybe we should start by asking men what they need? How would having women telling them everything that they have done wrong a good thing?

What women cannot understand is men are different to women. We act in a different way to you and that's perfectly okay. What is not okay is women telling men how they need to act.

Also if you want to do a bit of reading go find all the questions on the internet to the effect of "why don't you open up to your girlfriend" and you can hear all the horrific ways women use men's vulnerability against them. You can see the general consensus being that more often than not opening up to women makes things worse because of how women react to a vulnerable man and that if you need to talk about problems do it with men.

But again that goes against the feminist argument that men's issues are only to do with toxic masculinity and the patriarchy. But lol what do men know about their issues own issues? Nothing.

You know what is better than crying and taking mind altering drugs? Not needing either.

I know this is a joke post (at least I really hope it is) but why are some women so against men being happy? Like they want do to everything in their power to take away "guy stuff" it's not enough that they don't have to go. But the fact they don't like it means that no one else should and men are wrong because they do something women don't.

I strongly believe that men's mental health is positively impacted by male groups. But women don't want men to have male groups. Women can obviously! That goes without saying. But men. No, not allowed they should be ashamed of themselves.

I think it's a really issue in society and you never ever hear women criticise women's role in negatively impacting men. But somehow I bet this is all the patriarchy's fault

The renewables movement will be won on finances and nothing else.

It is anticipated that the project will yield an internal rate of return on capital of about 16.38%, with a payback period of around 7.1 years.

That sounds really promising.

I heard a big one is location. If your mate just came back from Asia and talks to you about it and you then see ads for holidays to Asia. It's because if the location proximity to him, not the conversation. They just assume you would talk about it

Renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of the world’s electricity for the first time last year following a rapid rise in wind and solar power, according to new figures.

A report on the global power system has found that the world may be on the brink of driving down fossil fuel generation, even as overall demand for electricity continues to rise.

Analysis of Home Office data showed the impact of the shift from EU to non-EU migrants. Migrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey aged 25-64 were almost twice as likely to be economically inactive as someone born in the UK.

Spanish migrants typically earned around 40pc more than migrants from Pakistan or Bangladesh, while migrants from countries such as Canada, Singapore and Australia paid between four and nine times as much income tax as migrants from Somalia or Pakistan.

I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.

I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.

I'm willing to download anything as long as it's not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.

I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference

"Spanish consultancy AleaSoft Energy Forecasting recorded negative hourly electricity prices for all but one European energy market it analyzed during the first week of April, including in the Spanish and Portuguese markets for the first time. It also registered an all-time production record for photovoltaic energy in Portugal and the second highest value ever recorded in Italy"

"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of operations in the region.

It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.

PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran's "reckless attack", pledging the UK would "continue to stand up for Israel's security". "

A Labour government would aim to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP "as soon as resources allow", Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The Labour leader also told the i newspaper he would conduct a strategic review of defence and security "to be clear what the priorities are".

Sir Keir's aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who has also said he wants defence spending to rise to 2.5%

EU pushes to curb China’s green tech market lead

Brussels’ new probe into Chinese wind turbines comes as Beijing grabs dominance over global market for solar panels.

On paper, the EU sees China as a partner in the fight against climate change.

But the trade reality tells a different story. 

As Beijing responds to weak domestic demand with heavy state subsidies, it’s a perfect recipe for overcapacity — from electric vehicles to solar panels — just as the European Union puts the green transition at the top of its policy agenda.

On Tuesday, EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager will launch a new anti-subsidy investigation into China’s fast-growing and increasingly dominant wind turbine sector, as exclusively reported by POLITICO’s China Watcher.

Europe was once a leader in the renewable energy source, but China’s rapid development since 2018 has inflicted billions in losses on its leading wind power players, including Denmark’s Vestas and German-owned Siemens Gamesa, forcing them into drastic cost cuts.

The EU is keen to avoid a mistake it made over the past decade, when China’s solar panel-makers all but killed their European competitors. Today’s playbook on wind turbines is indeed “all too familiar” to European policymakers, said one EU diplomat, who was granted anonymity to discuss the imminent policy announcement.

"Signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, the IRA, along with the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enacted in November 2021, are intended, amongst other things, to funnel billions of federal dollars into developing clean energy.

The aim is to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and incentivise private investment, to encourage the growth of green industries and jobs: a new foundation for the US economy.

With a 10-year lifespan, and a cost originally estimated at $391bn (£310bn) but now predicted to reach over $1tn - the final figure is unknown - the IRA offers new and juicer tax credits, as well as loans and loan guarantees for the deployment of emissions reducing technology."

Some analysts think that China’s coal emissions have already peaked – or will peak in the next few years. We’ll have to wait and see if they’re right. But the fact that they can even suggest that a peak in coal use is coming, while China is adding more coal plants, seems contradictory.

Both points can be true, though. China could build more plants while burning less coal. It just has to run them less often. Based on data over the last decade or two, that’s exactly what’s happening.
