Belly,
When you have the page whose link you want to copy, hold the left
mouse button down and highlight the url by sliding the cursor along it
then right click on it, then in the dropdown menu select copy.
When you want to paste it into the text of your post place the cursor
where you want the link to be right click then in the dropdown menu
left click on paste.
With long urls it is easier to use TinyURL from tinyurl.com and
install it in your task bar.

All that is what I do but from memory I think Windows is the same.

Hasbeen said; you hams should have been having a very good time, with
the low numbers of sunspots in this last cycle.

Errr the reverse Hasbeen, radio conditions are better with higher
sunspot counts. Above 10 Mhz you have to wait on it opening these
days. Up to five years ago I used to run a Radio Mail data system
between Sydney and Caterham south of London every day. Much harder
these days with very low sunspot counts. Impossible with restricted
stealth antennas these days since moving house.

Aiden said;
BTW forget EROEI - it's far less significant than you think.
What counts is money returned on money invested, and that doesn't
depend on EROEI being above an arbitrary factor.

Surely as the needed energy input to extract the resource rises the
cost rises in lock step.
The finance is just another way of saying the same thing.
BTW, an eroei of 7 is such that very large input increases give very
small output increases. Think what that does to the finances.
That is why 7 is an arbitrary give it away point

No, Bazz, it doesn't. Labour costs and machinery costs are not proportional to energy costs.

>The finance is just another way of saying the same thing.
Not only is it different in inputs, it's very different in returns. What's commercially viable depends on prices.

>BTW, an eroei of 7 is such that very large input increases give very small output increases.
You could say the same about 8 or 6 or 5 or 10 – it's a smooth curve and there's absolutely nothing special about the value of 7.

Australia’s backbone industries were built on cheap reliable power. We have huge overheads in the bureaucracy, academia and the welfare state which must be supported by real industry - mining and smelting, farming, fishing, forestry, processing, transport and manufacturing. These industries rely on hydro-carbon energy – coal, gas, oil, diesel and petrol.

Australia has no nuclear or geothermal power, limited hydro potential, an ageing fleet of coal generators and several bans on gas exploration/ We are very vulnerable to the UN’s war on hydro-carbons, and should be getting out of Paris now.

I see you know nothing about sunspots effect on our weather Belly.

Go do a bit of reading before you make any more silly statements mate.
