the article states that drax burning wood produces four times the CO2 of radcliffe burning coal; however it fails to mention how much electricity was produced by each one. i expect better from the guardian, but we didn't get it in this report.

trailers always make a game look good, that's their job. when it's released, if it really is any good, you'll hear about it if you keep an eye out!

a big factor here is dogs. if you have your pet with you on a lead, and there are calves(baby cows) in the field, sometimes a normally docile cow herd will be very protective of their offspring. generally if there is no dog, cows realise you are not a threat.

in the uk texts are usually free unlimited, and a majority of people have rcs (rich chat services) enabled which means they are end to end encrypted - and uncensorable. RCS is very similar to imessage in results, though it works in a different way.

i wonder if he annoys the elk as much as the one from 'shrek' !

that's true, but usually the bank's policies/systems were not decided upon by the minimum-wage call handler who is being abused down the phone.

the spreasheet is really good, but rcs is not there - i'd love to know how that compares.

well for a start it produces 0 gas emissions at point of use. we still have to sort out tyre fragments and brake dust, and ensure the electricity grid is non-polluting too. but every hybrid car is burning petrol or diesel, just the same as we've been doing for the last 100 years or so. recent research in the uk has shown that plug-in hybrids are often not plugged in because it's too much bother.

this is a complicated balance between plastic in the environment and pesticides in the environment !
