Like: good quality houses - by which I basically mean #Passivhaus homes - do you know anything else that provides fantastic comfort with really low cost to run?
Hate: twat Tories - and hope they will be gone soon, they have already done too much damage.

Just missed #Passivhaus by a smidgen, I reckon.🤢
Probably costs more to heat than a Pukka Pugin.

Insulation and air tightness both need to work hand in hand. Also, continuity of insulation is really important. In this respect, solid insulation is very difficult to seal properly, and even a gap of 2mm can halve the effectiveness of the insulation due to thermal bypass. Really need #Passivhaus.

Someone should have told him that arriving in a jacket like that is a worse crime than not turning up in a jacket at all.

Ah, the future of permitted development. And don't worry about fitting any insulation in there, you can screw a solar panel to the roof and claim you offset all the failings.

Unfortunately Trump is an addled moron and there is no way anything useful will happen at his instigation.
EU and UK should ramp up all sanctions to sink Russia's economy, and provide as much weaponry as possible in the coming months.

So why does HS2 think they have to drop the timber roof at Curzon St? It seems they want aluminium panels instead - for 'better fire safety'. I am sure they won't be like the panels at Grenfell, will they? But saves money apparently (sounds dubious too).

Lovely stuff. It's blown at lower density than cellulose in deep panels, because it interlocks better and does not slump. So you need maybe 40kg/m3 compared to 55-70kg/m3 of cellulose. Makes it actually more cost effective. I put 360mm in my walls, with 80mm wood fibre outside.

There were a lot of wind turbines as I was travelling through Europe on trains, quite close and in line with the tracks. I wondered if they were piggy backing off the high power infrastructure for the electric train system.
We could electrify some of UK existing rail system and add wind turbines.

Is DLT dowl laminated timber. Why ids CLT so much more, is that just the glue?

To be fair, you do have to save for it!
Well done though, best QA mark for a building in the world.

If we were thinking of handing 1/2 billion to a company that would have to spend it, I am sure that company would far rather take a billion from their Chinese masters in back-handers. Win-win - just not for UK.
It's about time UK realised water, energy, steel should never have been privatised.

And they need to keep setting those refineries on fire. That is the obvious reason Putin first tries to get an agreement that everyone stops hitting energy infrastructure, as it is actually hitting Putin's economy and war machine more.
Keep blowing everything up until Putin is ousted by oligarchs.

Quite likely. Though I am glad to say one of the stocks they will get burnt on is Tesla. It is only headed one way now, to ultimate extinction. Musk is finding if the whole world hates you then they will not buy your product.

I'll wait another week. Then each MyPillow will come with a new Tesla.

I feel sorry for the workers at Tesla Berlin who will be unemployed soon, but on the other hand BMW is now producing fantastic EVs, so I expect they know where to look if they need some workers.

The one thing we need now is an enterprising company that can offer to turn tesla car batteries into home battery systems. Then we can take Tesla off the road and forget about it once and for all.

I'll sell them a circus tent for 1/2 billion. That looks a crock.

We haven't quite reached peak Gerald Ratner, but I think Tesla is doomed - and I am pretty glad about that.
comment in response to

That may be true. But no-one is going to buy a Tesla any more if the reason they think of buying an electric car is to reduce their carbon footprint.
In the mean time consider supporting this:

tRump is just a ridiculous simpleton, but dangerous because of his overinflated ego that he likes to have stroked all the time.
Europe should ignore him and finish the war ourselves.

JCB is twatting about with hydrogen for their diggers. They just don't seem to have realised that hydrogen is a little pointless and inefficient if you move to an all electric economy.

Not unless Russia has left the whole of Ukraine. Never reward aggression, it's called appeasement. We knew what came after 1938. Russia will be back for more, because Putler and Hutin are the same.

Sounds like he needs to show Ukraine a little more respect then, as they have destroyed a good part of Russia's fleet.

Our leaders seem paralysed, unable to talk about the US in the same language they use for traditionally inimical countries, hoping that the bully’s eye passes them over.
Before you can act on a crisis you have to recognise you are in one - it is time for our leaders, and our media, to wake up. 7/9

I am starting to wonder if tRump or Putin is worse. Europe needs to arm against both, as does Canada. How crap a time we live in.
