Third world is absolutely going to jump ahead of the first world in a short period of time. It just makes so much sense for things that you say and the need to expand their grid to cope with increased demand.

Batteries are going to be the real game changer and its underway.

Plus all the third world countries have great solar and only really two first world countries have good solar. 1 has the highest levels of rooftop solar and are looking to expand batteries and the other has American exceptionalism so will always have excuses to not be able to do things other countries can with a worse hand.

I thought this was going to be about magnets or those metals that remember their shape.

Those heat pumps sound so sci fi.

But either way this is goodm

The scary thing is British driving ability appears on the high end of the spectrum from my experience.

The worse thing is speeding which is normalised.

The roads are just shit and full. When you go to a part of another country with same sort of traffic and narrow roads its becomes apparent Brits drive well.

Look you don't understand I need to speed so I can get suck on traffic faster. It allows me to get to my destination earlier (I don't care what proof you have that it doesn't). Nothing else matters.

I will not be taking questions, just getting mad at people for not having common sense.

Go fuck yourself.

Heard of so many people losing their phone. Then they try to log into something and the company (quite often google) says "I don't give a fuck if you know your passwords I'm never letting you log into your account get fucked, don't call I won't answer"

Yes. England (and the rest of the UK) was build on exporting ideas and people. Ideas like education, law, science.

Now England is in a new century which is importing ideas from the rest of the world. It doesn't seem to be going as well.

The Witchcraft Act 1735 finally concluded prosecutions for alleged witchcraft in England. The 1800's in England was more enlightenment than current England. God help us all.

That's going to be a one year or one generation solution to the problem. Then the situation is even worse.

China makes more renewables than the rest of the world.

Look at completed and under construction. Wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, pumped hydro.

50% car sales are EVs.

10% of GDP is clean tec.

A large part of emission growth is rapid increases of the petrochemical industry. That's not going to last long.

The energy demand increase is almost entirely being met by renewables and increasing. Its going to drop very fast.

Lemmy has such a bad understanding of capitalism.

1. that's the united states of america. Not the UK.

2. Lobbying isn't capitalism. The government needs to be involved in capitalism.

But finally, finally after all that. The core is energy production is not a monopoly it is a largely free market where many businesses and even many countries can create energy production in the UK. Home owners, co-ops, France nuclear, Norwegian hydro, gas, wind.

What you are talking about is electrical distribution being a natural monopoly. The National Grid (Great Britain) is largely a single monopoly but that's not where the price comes from. The UK has a lot of oversight of that and inter connectors and offshore wind leases and even maximum pricing. How are companies going to shaft consumers when the UK government limits the amount they can sell for.

Well then you need government regulation.

But that's not the bread and butter of capitalism markets. It's the edge cases

How longs it got to be for someone to be indigenous?

Or is it just based on skin colour?

Loads of black tribes moved into south Africa.
