Mains power voltage drop to reduce usage?

If found one goes to prison.

Put a paper card in the mailbox for me to read the meter and mail to them.

If I don't, they charge me all the same, with an estimation that is higher than reality.

It is the same power as it was before, with the mechanical meter, or less.

LOL.

The others would also mandate smart meters.

Pure physics. Not amazing at all. Most people in Spain use it.

If you have an unused swimming pool in the basement of your apartment building, just throw in a small research reactor (100 kW to 1 MW) and you have heating for the winter :-)

And getting out of the valley could take half an hour, if you had a bottle of air to breath meanwhile.

I'm curious.

Do they have to add chemicals to the water, to keep it clear, no algae or bacteria? Or simply the radiation keeps it "clean"?

Every year or so someone dies in a farm tank or fuel tank that hasn't been ventilated.

Yes, the speed of the CO2 flooding would probably have been faster than you could run.

Like smoke inhalation in a fire.

Actually I wouldn't mind living in Leiston at all.

Great bird sanctuary just behind Sizewell. Only thing that spoils it is the transmission lines to London. And they start a few miles away - the rest is under-grounded. Bring back Battersea I say.

And no one who lives in the shadow of one is happy.

In Denmark it renders your house unsaleable.

Noise - especially infrasound generated by blades passing the tower - and flicker are deeply disturbing to many people.

Excellent plan!

It sounds like what he saw was a spent fuel pond. The blue glow is Cherenkov radiation. You can swim, but don't dive deep.

I don't think any bugs would survive it.

Heating a lot of houses from one heat source. Could be a furnace or stray heat from a power station.

Worse, it was explosive.

here a power station, a cement factory, and trash incineration all put heat into the district heating system

Sounds dangerous, especially if room heating is done directly by steam radiators. (The ones I've seen are the same size an electric storage heaters with insulation, grills and lagged steam pipes.)

In this country for domestic installations they use water at a lot higher temperature than normal central heating I think. Still could be dangerous if a pipe bursts.

When I worked for the University of Michigan, it had a central power plant that served steam throughout the campus. Although my duties were mostly typing from dictation and fetching files, twice a year I had to go to the basement of the building in which I worked and slowly turn the big valve handle to either open or close the valve. I received about 2 minutes of instruction from the administrative assistant who supervised me.

You were a bionic thermostat?

I was an analog-to-digital converter once.
