Re: Climate change... What climate change?

The original report says that the owner in question applied for retrospective planning and was refused, appealed that decision and also lost the appeal. From what the council says it would seem that the neighbour, who has had panels for longer, also does not have planning permission but no one has c...

Re: Why JCB thinks that hydrogen is the best alternative to diesel for heavy machinery.

I'm struggling to see through the greenwash of the latest JCB announcement. The deal is worth "billions" - but JCB's total turnover is only £4 billion a year. Maybe it has the potential to become part of a deal that will contribute to a market that is forecast to be worth "billions&qu...

Re: Hydro turbines

Galahad, what are the incoming nasties numbers like? Are there many? Thanks for catching them. Can we have an applause icon? With the Q&A registration process in place it is just about zero. I experimented by changing it to the Captcha option for a couple of days just to see what would happen a...

Re: Suggestions?

That sounds odd - I'll take a look. [edit] For some reason your user permission was still on 'Newly Registered' which limits PM functions. So I've reset you to 'Standard' and hope that fixes it.

Re: 737 MAX

I've updated the topic title.
