Does nobody here wear shirts to work?
My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it's fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.
We've never let him live it down.
Fascinating, and what about Basque?
It's too hard! Can you tell us?
All true. A few problems facing increasing renewable penetration:
Lack of grid capacity. The national grid operator (REN) has stated there is not enough capacity currently, or in the planned grid expansions, to meet the countries renewable targets.
Rising opposition to projects. Many projects are facing strong local opposition, for example the the 1gw project in Santiago do Cacém which has seen strong resistance from local organisations set up to oppose it.
Environmental protections. They are important and needed, but Portugal has very strong laws here and it is a big obstacle to renewable development.
Cork trees. Cork trees are worshipped, its even difficult to clear sapplings that are of no value or importance. It makes large swathes of land uneconomical for renewable development.
Despite the above, which (except for cork trees) aren't unique to portugal, the country is doing well. It will be interesting to see the stats in the coming dryer years, as you say.
Depends on the definition intended, but other adjectives could probably describe it better.
Yes! I had totally forgotten about the instant pang of shock and anger I would feel when that happened.
I'm saying 85 MW of installed solar capacity would generate roughly a third the amount of energy as the equivalent installed capacity of wind. So the Councillor in the article is making a false equivalence between the two technologies.
Solar farm load factors are also about 10% compared to 30% for wind so they are generating less energy per MW, therefore can afford less of a community payment per MW.
How do I know I'm in tick country?
What is a nearby harbour? I googled it but nothing came up.
We have them in the UK. They are equivalent quality coffees to the coffee shop they are branded with.
Not quite as nice as a decent non chain coffee shop and they only use cow milk, but they aren't bad.
I could see 3 out of 4 of them but I'm not colour blind...
If only there was a way to privatise them and get all that sweet investment debt in there. Think of all the dividends!
Not sure I agree with you that it was that bad, but I love the strength of your reaction.
I think plan based is the product line. So anything in that product line won't have animal products in it and is safe for vegans.
Approximately how many men did you have to bum before you found the taste of cigarettes awful?
It was horrible to watch. You make sensible suggestions in your post, I just think breed bans are the sort of knee jerk reactions that politicians love because it looks decisive and isn't a difficult decision. Unlikely to achieve anything in the long run, the mastiff in this video isn't even the breed that is getting banned.
The issue needs to be investigated, understood and properly addressed.
