Having looked it up and answered my own questions.
Yeah they are actually building a portable star.
And while it is very much an experiment. It is based on a smaller successful fusion plant from 2022.
So honestly using your guess. 7.5b 2045 and failing. Is still pretty fucking amazing amount the UK learns about a new future technology. And well worth the risk for the expertise we would gain.
If it actually works the UK will be helping the world make more. And the odds are pretty high compar d to the UKs first fission plants.
Ah did a little googling myself. No expert. But for anyone else wondering.
Both is the answer
The first positive consistent fusion was achieved in 2022. So over COVID. I may have missed it due to hiding ;)
But yes this is experimental. But fully expected to be the first full scale power plant. So Def worth the UK gaining the experience and solving the issues.
It is not expected till 2040. So 2.5b is way less over 15 years then it seemed.
The history means every nation in Europe is split to hell on this subject. So what ever action any specific gov takes. Will be the end of that gov. So no gov will have the courage to challenge with anything but diplomacy.
But considering it is glycophate. Used as a weed killer and pest controller.
The only source would be cotton.
All non organic modern farms world wide use glycophate. Because plowing is considered bad for the climate. If farmers do not plow turning over the soil and releasing co2. Then the only way to prevent weeds is chemicals. Hence glycophate.
Given cotton is used mainly for clothing etc. I imagine it has lower requirements for such toxins compared to food production.
So my guess. It is believed to be all brands. The article states varicose brands were tested and all had high levels. But given the low numbers I doubt the press is confident enough to single out any of these brands.
The lines were never privatised. Network rail is planned to be merged into GBR. But as it is already under dft control. The plans are a little in the air ATM.
First off the are not buying out any companies. These companies own nothing but a short term contract to provide service. The gov is just not renewing those contracts as the expire.
As for overpriced train leases. Yeah that is an issue. But only because the companies have temp contracts. So leasing is the only practice option. Long term GBR will have other options.
Well UK renationalisation is happening. Or pretty darn close to it.
We will see news like this again and again. As all the rail contracts come up for renewal. Labour plans to either nationalised or accept community coop like bids.
Expectation is all will be moved by 2027.
Honestly. It is more interesting how little of this plan is commented on in the news like this.
It was in the manifesto. And Starmer has confirmed it multiple times in parliament.
Yet we keep seeing articles talking about single company changes. And a few about accepted coops. Yet no talk about the long-term plan. Given how popular the calls for renationalisation is. It looks a little questionable that the media seems to be minimising the one left leaning thing labour is doing.
Little odd the call this the first. At least 2 other private contacts have been in the news as moved to GBR when they expire. Plus at least 2 community groups accepted as bids.
Now it is impossible to decide if you are genuinely stupid or a troll.
Asking to reference a lack of ambiguity. After I have posted multiple explanations of exactly how the phrase aligned standards can only mean the standards used to produce and regulate UK food production must match. Yet you have not managed challenge a single one.
Yeah go shove your own head up your arse you troll.
If someone sees a don't eat warning. They will also see a potential allergy warning or contains fish warning. In. The same place.
So informing people of the error and refunding any returns. Is no more risk then the initial sale was. And also produces a little less food and packaging waste then this.
So save n humans. Or save the same number if humans plus kill the earth less.
Yeah bad wording on my part. Sorry I'm working on multiple things ATM.
I ment you are seeing ambiguity that is not there.
As I explained else where. The rest of the media and even fararge in another news article last night. Seems to disagree that this deal meets any Brexit claim.
They see no abniguity in this meaning all UK food production domestic and export. Must continue meet EU equive standards to ensure less documentation is needed.
It has after all been the crux of the UK EU trade issue from day one.
Yes I am. Based on a whole history of treaty talks since Brexit where the whole topic was based on trading standards and how alignment was why we could not join the customs union.
Expecting a fucking news article to teach you the topics you seem to have missed. Is expecting ELI5
And you you did suggest a meaning, when you openly interpreted the article as a good benefit of Brexit. And stated that it said nothing about domestic food standards.
You were specifically claiming we had some form of double standard that applies to food we export and food we don't.
Nothing in the article claims that. And I can assure you we as a nation do not. So you invested that meaning to make your rather pathetic point about the deal matching some Brexit benefit.
I made a very clear pretty close to ELI5 maybe 10. Of why I and the other poster was able to interpret the "aligned to EU standards" as relating to domestic sales. Based entirely on facts differing news have covered in detail while May and Bojo were negotiating.
Your failure to understand such simple points. Is likely why you voted Brexit.
To be clear. US firm took on 30m in debt. Plus a promise to borrow 30m more if certain goals are achieved.
So it's technically 30 to 60m and £1
