The point of lowering the power of kettles (and everything else, in the fulness of time, is so that the windmills don't get overloaded. Nothing to do with reducing "carbon" emissions.Weekend Yachtsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262853091154005651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-92104032249362387872016-05-13T06:40:29.553+01:002016-05-13T06:40:29.553+01:00Like it.

My personal "favourite" EU rule is the cookie policy which breaks most websites, even if implemented properly, I.e.not continually popping up on every visit. Connection to physics? Most EU websites will consume a minute amount of extra internet resource including power. I haven't done the maths but it would be a fun calculation.

But scientific exactitude is lost on the average reader.

Once the water temperature goes above ambient energy is lost from the system. The quicker it boils the less energy is lost.<br /><br />On such stupidities do civilisations founder.Trainer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777701301974490461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-61470520810095106432016-05-12T18:33:56.610+01:002016-05-12T18:33:56.610+01:00I know that.

Instead of pursuing plentiful energy at the right price, they seek an unattainable dream which disadvantages the less well-off, as they always do. The EU is only interested in political power; they really couldn't care less about energy.Batsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426643733506493701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-67738313249877100052016-05-12T17:45:33.872+01:002016-05-12T17:45:33.872+01:00I agree with everything you said here.

However I understand that the method in the madness is to reduce demand shocks to the supply grid by spreading a lower load over a longer time span rather than "saving" energy per-se.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-4855799019299687012016-05-12T09:26:32.028+01:002016-05-12T09:26:32.028+01:00I am no great shakes at science or anything that s...I am no great shakes at science or anything that smacks of academia actually. In the back of my mind though I have this feeling that it has been said that at the quantum level the laws of physics as we know them do not apply. So at the brain level being so small of those who decide on the rules and policies of the EU the laws of intelligence do not likewise apply. <br /><br />There cannot be any other explanation in fact evidence of it is everyday being uncovered as others in the world such as our politicians, rulers, religious leaders and more are proving to be very small minded and showing that normal intelligence does not apply to them either.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
