@fluffy2560Unit prices can both highter and lower than averages elsewhere. Actually the deal was: they do guarantee a fixed price: both losses and profits are on the state/ major producers. Stability for the possible highter prices. About solar: I ... Read More

Season 2 of Sci-Fy's The Ark started 17 July 2024. Wobbly sets, wonky acting and dodgy special effects.  Reminds me of Doctor Who's early days. Still watchable. It surprised me to find The Ark is made in Belgrade at PFI Studios (Pink ... Read More
