@mmjukic @gigantictur They're going to invade Iran along the Gulf Coast breast the Pakistan border in an effort to pry open the Strait. This war ain't ending soon, I'm afraid.
English
If Trump doesn't end this war with Iran quickly, there will be and they won't be merciful. Does the Trump administration understand this?
Nikhil Pal Singh@nikhil_palsingh
If we still have a functional government after this, there is going to need to be a whole forensic division to track and prosecute corruption and insider trading within Trump's circle.

@JordanEVGuy @OctopusEnergy Depends on which on of the 14 DNO licence areas you are in. @OctopusEnergy have no control or say over that.

Hey @OctopusEnergy.
Why are some customers getting 3.49p night rate and some are getting 5.2p?
Great to see rates coming down across the board, but lots of confusion.
English
@LoftusSteve I really don’t get this argument.
It’s private capital that wants to explore and extract - if they want to take the risk it’s up to them.
Banning new drilling while planning to buy oil and gas for decades elsewhere is bonkers.
Balance of payments, jobs, income tax, NI etc.
English
This is inaccurate. NSTA figures for future oil and gas are based on the current regime of tax and regulation. It is what is viable under existing conditions.
There's much more if we take our foot off their throat.
ECIU@ECIU_UK
Official UK oil and gas statistics and projections suggest that 93% of the oil and gas that is likely to be produced from the North Sea has already been extracted. eciu.net/media/press-re…

@LoftusSteve But CCuS only only about 5 years away, it just needs many more billions of public money thrown at it.
A hydrogen powered Drax with CCuS is the dream - like a perpetual subsidy machine.
English
This is an easy win. Both CCUS and green hydrogen are massive subsidy sinkhole and always will be.
Cancel all future HAR rounds (which are planned to add to bills) and all future taxpayer CCUS grants.
Jack Pardoe@pardoejw
Time to scrap hydrogen and carbon capture ambitions. We didn't get them going in times of low interest rates, they shouldn't be prioritised over lowering energy costs now. Billions in dead capital could go to something useful. Levy cuts, CPS cuts, power plants, etc.
English
@au_tom_otive @kerbocharge Yea.
Lamp post charging sounds like a good idea until the realities are thought about.
We need solutions for those with no off street parking, but I don’t think this is it.
English
@simoncgallagher And unless there are dedicated bays (and we all know why that is very difficult), I think these present extra accessibility issues for other footway users that go unaddressed. Much better to get a flat and flush solution like @kerbocharge in place, I reckon.
English
Thinks an expensive distraction, despite what Ubitricity try to sell.
25 A cut outs, earthing issues, 30m apart, some on the back edge of the pavement etc.
Lots of public money was spent ‘upgrading’ PL columns, might as well install proper chargers. O&M costs very high too.
Jordan - The EV Guy@JordanEVGuy
This doesn’t look like much, but it changes everything. What you’re looking at is an evpzee lamppost charger. It is the smartest solution to one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. A standard street lamp, quietly turned into an EV charger. No digging up roads, it is installed in just 30 minutes. No huge infrastructure projects, a full street can be electrified in a matter of hours. Manufactured and assembled in the UK and fully OCPP. Using what’s already there. For millions of people across the UK, especially those without driveways, this is the difference between “I can’t have an EV” and “actually…I can.” It’s easy to overlook innovations like this because they’re not flashy. No 350kW ultra-rapid chargers. No massive charging hubs. Just practical, scalable, everyday infrastructure doing exactly what it needs to do. And that’s the point. The EV transition will be be driven by everyone having the ability to charge when they need to. Simple. Effective.

@Iromg When you pay the owner £60 per bay per day…..

How do you lose money charging £40 a day to park?

@reporterboy So I am not sure why anyone really listens to them (although the polls show that even with the most unpopular government in history and the Conservative on the ropes, even then, no one does).
English
@reporterboy Fair enough, but the missiles are are actually (for the UK) the very expensive and difficult bit.
The LDs also wanted to have less subs (so no CASD), supported the Royal Mail sell off, said nuclear was pointless because it would only generate in 2025 and ignored the post office
English
That’s odd. Because we already do. The only thing we lease from the US is the missiles. The “weapon” (crudely -the bit that goes bang) IS made by us. We don’t even rely on the American system for navigation. So the question is what would it cost to build Trident missiles?

Came across this in Leavesden today – someone has converted the cupboard under the stairs into a bedroom, sleeping right next to the meter and consumer unit, which has the gas service behind it!
I don’t think @UKPowerNetworks will be interested.
All muggled up.
English
@AdamDoran @OctopusEnergy @g__j Thanks, that is what I neeed up doing, charging happily now while they sort out some issue with BMW
English
@simoncgallagher @OctopusEnergy @g__j One very short-term solution if you’re still in this bind is to temporarily disable smart charging in the vehicle’s settings, within the octopus app. I may have need to resort to this once in almost four years of Intelligent Octopus Go.
English
How do I bump change my car @OctopusEnergy? The app has changed. I can’t seem to set the target and departure time now in the app, and the ‘bump’ button does nothing. But I need to charge my car now!
I have tried over riding in the BMW app.
@g__j
English
English
@shocky100 @OctopusEnergy It’s obviously octopus over riding the settings in the car, but pressing ‘bump’ does nothing, so how do I charge my car today?
English
@simoncgallagher @OctopusEnergy Hi Simon, I look after all smart tech at Octopus. BMW recently changed their API meaning that setting your target state of charge and ready time now has to be down in the BMW app. But bump charging is unaffected, assuming both apps are the latest versions.
English
@shocky100 @OctopusEnergy All updated, bump does nothing in the octopus app.
I set the car to charge imidiatly, then it charges for 10 mins, then I get an alert from octopus app saying a schedule has been created, and the car stops charging. Octopus is over riding the car settings, bump does nothing.
English
@OctopusEnergy Not that I can find
English
@simoncgallagher Hi Simon, I've sent across a DM to help with this 🐙
English
@MandyKittens @SeeDeeMcLeod @guzzicraig Not true.
You buy gas or oil whatever rate the seller is prepared to sell it to you with an agreed delivery date.
UK electricity is marginal pricing for the whole sale element only.
English
@SeeDeeMcLeod @guzzicraig Yep the energy market uses a system called Marginal Pricing. This means the price of all energy is set by the most expensive source needed to meet demand (gas) as it's needed to "fill the gap", so gas usually sets the price for the entire electricity market

The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War 2. Like in that war—back when we were still the War Department—we are fighting to win."

@simoncgallagher @Demlik__ @TerribleMaps So you live without relativity theories and quantum mechanics.
Worse for you.
