Re: Deer in the Headlights - shawny - 01-22-2020
hi guys,
I know this is in the wrong thread but I am lost with the navigating side of the new site and don't know how or where to put it.
I'm not the best computer wise and Im really struggling with the new layout and navigating side of things. I've read the original posts regarding the update but just still find it too complicated for a dummy like me!
I could follow the old one as it had the rolling latest top 10 or so threads running on the right side so I just had to use that part and could get my forum fix quickly and easily without having to use the rest of the site but this new site doesn't seem to offer this.
Can anyway help me in real basic terms.....as im in fear I wont be able to use this one !!

Probably the best way to get the 'quick fix' is to just click the "New posts" button at the top of the page.
It will display all the topics posted in since your last visit.
Click on the topic for instant access.
Once you get used to it it's much quicker than waiting for the scrolling thread to roll around to topics of interest.

Many thanks Lods. Will give it a go

Apparently they turned off their nuclear plants to go green and focus on solar and wind.
Apparently they had to have coal powered backup to cover the shortfall in green technology.
On a side note building a giant solar farm comes with it's own environmental drawbacks. Bird populations suffer due to radiation and reflection of said panels.
Nuclear appears to be the most environmentally friendly of all the options available provided there's no meltdown...
Hi Thry.
The story is familiar, but I don't think it was the Netherlands (although they do have blackouts and need additional energy)
My quick research says that they built a few new coal plants ~2015, with some to be phased out by 2029. They also have one nuclear plant, which was supposed to have the plug pulled, but it wasn't (commissioned to be operational to 2033). There are possible plans to build another. Their actual renewables is quite small.
