In the UK they are providing special loans and grants to get people to install solar cells onto rooftops. Householders then sell electricity to electricity companies on the national grid.
This is cheaper for the electricity companies than buying coal, oil, gas to generate electricity.
The economic benefit of cost of installation, return of cost over life of cell, is being disputed. If only the UK had more sunshine.
At the opposite end of the lake from the Green Lake Hotel there is a restaurant in what looks like an old converted grey stone warehouse. The restaurant is over two floors.
The Green Lake Hotel, has an area above the main entrance that serve tea and beers, but I don't think they do hot food. Past reception, up the escalators, double back and all the way to the front of the hotel again. Big windows, armchairs, sofas, tables and a view. You might be able to get cakes sent up from the coffee shop downstairs. There may also be an adjacent restaurant, but there will be a minimum cover charge for a room.
Gold
I think you get about 16g of gold from one tonne of ore.
However, we use a lot in mobile phones and circuit boards. Recycled old mobile phones yield a lot more gold per tonne. I can't remember the exact figure for yield/tonne, but there is about 0.24mg gold in the average phone.
When they first did this in Shanghai in about 2004-5, it was necessary to exit some subways stations, and cross a road to get to some rail stations. Eventually it all got sorted out.
Line 5 has not projected start date. Yet it would serve NanYa and Dianchi Road down to Dian Wei Chen.
I can only assume line 4 is the same and could be the thin purple line running NW to SE.
5 Star venue, 5 star prices. Not a helpful venue. It is so far out of town that many people who should be going may not have the time to make the trek.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
