As with all heating relying on water for energy transport, absolutely when building new buildings, but will cost an arm if you add it in a remodeling.
As for solar capture in Sweden, there are a few places that try to store heat in sandpits, among others a high school in Stockholm. And on that subject the Finns must be mentioned😊 Will be interesting to follow!
Where I'm from the heating utility was turned on last week and will remain on until April. To me, running a heater for 30 minutes/day during winter seems acceptable:D
The question is: is it efficient enough during the cold season? Cyprus, situated in the middle of the Mediterranean heat reservoir and with plenty of daylight during the off season seems to be well situated.
As for the need: I'm from up north, our houses are built to keep heat inside as that is most positive for our energy consumption. In the south, houses try to limit the need for cooling. The effect of which became very clear to me when I went to the Mediterranean in November. Heating? Yea please.
I never said anyone did, i was just reminded about a joke describing how some actions overshadows other activities when retold among peers.
Which reminds me of that old joke: "but you fuck one coach..."
Edit: just spotted my typo... I'll leave it in😊
Well, that's been the basis for some other products. AMD and Intel comes to mind😊 They both have IP the other need and historically Intel has been the dominant one, but now the tables have turned somewhat.
Well, even 84% sunshine transmitted is still rather shiny and is more than what is available at night.
Exactly. His followers expect there to have been an audience and those fictional people should have been crazy about it...
And to make it worse, they are none too concerned with facts to begin with.
Oh, welcome to the eu. Speed limits are going down, generally. At least in this nick of the woods, we aren't driving as fast as in the eighties. The goal is zero Trafic fatalities.
Oh, it's funny because it's true.
Now I need to go cry in a corner, because it's true
I feel that is the issue with this post to begin with. Is it a shitpost or not? Seems more like a load of hot air to me
Is that a second generation immigrant, married to a first generation immigrant, stealing pets in Ohio?
AI content, AI bots in the forums, AI telemarketing, AI answering machines, AI everything. AI will make IRL and stuff like audited national encyclopedias important again. Gone is the promise of the internet. And this is the real reason why anonymity will not be possible online. If we can't identify the poster as a human, it will mean nothing...
Anything that is more about talking to different parties rather than documenting and being the one to deliver. the more specialised people the better you connect, the bwtter. They will love your ability to see the patterns of the work place, your helicopter perspective. That will help them to test their ideas, to understand the concepts and what their task is all about. They will also love that you will not micro manage (as long as you dont end up hyperfocusing on their topic) and let them do their thing.
Don't be the specialist. Don't be the one that tries to have an eye on all the details, all the numbers. I tried to be an accountant for a while...
As long as we find a way to make use of the excess electricity produced, yes. Today we don't have enough intermittent energy users. For storage, or otherwise.
There are initiatives calling for/demanding an expanded hydrogen infrastructure, for instance, so that could be one thing. I believe Germany is the leading country of such initiatives.
That's what we are reduced to. That is what I mean. I also say that in the EU directive called EED, the union demands that, starting 2026, every public body needs to put PV-cells on the roofs of the buildings they use.
That will be noticeable.
I wish we could. That capacity is already booked. The batteries we are deploying needs to be used as local storage. And this is before the EU mandate on solarpanels on all roof tops has taken effect. The grid can't expand at that rate, unfortunately.
