There are plans to build a 6 km^2 island in the middle of the North Sea to act as a marshalling point for a whole new raft of wind turbines on the Doggerbank. https://arstechnica.co.uk/…

So you could lay a power cable across the Atlantic? It might be physically viable, but I imagine that wouldn't be economically viable.

106°F is 41°C just in case anyone else completely lost

I did want to bank this thread skywards, but of course there's "Star Cops". Is there any other hard science fiction series set in space? The sets are a tad shoddy, but they are good eno…

Slartibartfast. Just a heads up that Richard Vernon plays Slartibartfast in Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. I hope one day to have a machine that can speak with the voice of Richard Vernon (as Slart…

I thought that too, I studied the pollution maps of London, and it appears that NOx removes Ozone pollution, I was flummoxed for ages. Perhaps an Atmospheric Chemist can support this?

CO2 is an issue, but not the only one, I was just annoyed the article didn't mention it. I would wear a gas mask to work, but they're no use.

A huge benefit of electric cars is removing pollution from cities; this seems to be forgotten. Surely if the pollution is killing thousands of people a year this is an issue.

So are there pictures of what a distant mountain actually looks like over 500km across the Earth; that is the point after all? Or is there already a YouTube video of this?

It's interesting how the difference itself is increasing.

This being 19 months since it peaked past 10%. Any guesses when we'll get past 50%? How valid is this as a measure anyway?

As I understand it he got bored of the game itself, and was thinking about it at a higher level. I've been playing it heavily recently though, and it seems to be so well weighted. Completing game…

This site has been completely revamped, the graphs look a lot clearer. I guess this is down to the inclusion of solar power which was cursory a few years back. Do they now aggregate all of the roof to…

My Dad always used to point out that it was the only paper that campaigned for Stephen Lawrence to bring to light institutional racism in the Met Police. Not a minor issue by any means, absurdly here&…
