Oh yeah - I'm all about Balance Responsible Parties 🎉

They'd have to go in light on ammo to keep within their baggage allowance.

We'd need to build the capability to make it that far first. Perhaps we'll commandeer RyanAir.

I think state owned is objectively better, as then it will be a floating terminal that's rented. Gov obliged to align with climate law too.

The turbine is great 😃

An update on this: looks like we're proceeding with state-owned. My how things fluctuate. See you all on the western front 🥹

It will be ironic if the US leaves NATO while parroting about free-loaders as the only member to ever activate article 5 and summon other members troops into the hell of war.

While that is potentially a little bit fluffy, I was half expecting a full hay day on account of the change of government.

Interesting, I interpreted it differently Hannah.

"The CRU proposes that annual reporting ... will include the following as a minimum:

Details of planned measures to close the gap to zero emissions on an hourly basis,
including an associated timeline for delivery of measures."

Do we have to drive the Teslas or can we just park them and use them as stationary storage ?

Although, the sad thing is, I'm not actually sure I have any better ideas in the short term.

Yeah, and the whole point is energy security while I'm not sure any type of security can be achieved with the US as a partner right now. Alas, we are ridiculously exposed economically through the massive presence of US multinationals here (that Trump wants to onshore).

In Ireland, it looks like we'll be pivoting from a state-owned LNG import terminal to a commercial US-owned LNG import terminal to import US gas. I think the hope is this would appease Trump.

I guess EGO push their batteries harder on the max power draw or something! I'd read it was good, but I didn't expect this good. Although apparently the smaller egos (cs1800 and below) have an unfortunate tensioning mechanism.

As far as I'm aware there's only a 56V version, so yes.
