Hot water from March to Novemver using 1x 2Sqm Ritter parabolic direct flow evacuated tube panel. In December, January & Feb we still get hot water from diffuse ambient light wich takes the tank to 33°C. NHS TMVs are set to 37°C

Because it literally replaces gas with solar energy. I jmhave nothing more to say on this

Thank you. I have read thoroughly the many, many, many posts where this occurs (all sorts). I'm sorry it must be so tedious to have to deal with this sort of thing, but I guess that is how it goes on a large forum. Thank you for taking the time to communicate this & respond to our questions.

I have to say I completely agree with you.. I am Sri Lankan & 70% of the country is vegetarian (Buddhists & Hindus). The Christians & Muslims eat meat. I am horrified that vegetarians / vegans seem happy to eat things like Quorn & now lab grown meat all of which require massive industrial inputs...

Why not start with solar thermal fir yout hot water?

Is there a co-wheels possibility? https://www.co-wheels.org.uk/find-car

Sometimes the solution to a problem like this is to move. You probably have a well established set up where you are so that's difficult and uprooting can be hard. Consider looking at an ecological community maybe? IDK, but I sympathise.

The U value or R value is what you want to check. High R value - rockwool insulation has a higher R value than fibreglass insulation (3.0 to 3.3 per inch compared to 2.2 to 2.7 per inch). This indicates that stone wool has higher thermal resistance, making it a good option to insulate with

Insulating your home is not off topic. If you have 300mm of insulation in your loft, that's all you need. Anymore is pointless. Rockwool is much of a muchness I think they all come with 5-20 years warranty. No moving parts, what's to go wrong?

I have always cycled every where. We now live on the edge of a small city so I get that it's convenient. But we used to live 15 miles from town. An ebike/ ebike conversion will easily get you a 50mile rond trip. You could even attach a trolley for extra stuff. We also ask neighbours for help and...

Thank you, but I don't need advice about where to look for the best climate data. I know that the oil industry actually produced the best data, back on the 1970s & 80s. As requested by the Moderators, I will not be sharing it with you or anyone else on this forum and if that is what is...

Yeah I get that. And I presume there is no possibility of discussing how we try to survive it without it degenerating?

Me too, & those that don't want to take part can have their own discussions about other realities, you could just ignore our little corner of madness & eccentricity.

Why can't this & so much more about the 6th mass extinction not be discussed & why aren't mods actually controlling the abuse and stupid irrelevant comments?

At no point have I said you should do anything about it apart from understand the risks you are looking at & therefore what you might need to know do to cope, or possibly survive? I don't know if @Woody girl thinks we should be protesting, but at no point have I said we should be trying to...

I asked an Uillean bagpipe maker I know about hoe homages his pipe and chanters. But he uses a drill on a lathe. I like the idea though.

Hmm yes negative posts. The negative reactions have been aimed at me & WG primarily, I think this might possibly the 1st time I have insulted anyone here, apart from referring to ssome people as uncooth.. 2 suggestions i am mentally ill.. But once again I am the target of Forum seniors telling...
