    πŸƒ With 18,000 solar panels installed across various locations, the UK could harness enough solar energy to power thousands of homes, promoting a shift towards sustainable energy sources 🌏.

    I would love to know if anyone has any fascinating facts that include 18,000 - so feel free to share if you've got them πŸ˜‰.

    The UK has had about 18000 flu-related deaths in the last two years.

    There are two remaining Type 18000 locomotives in the UK. Unique in that they were the last two locomotives ordered by an independent railway operator (GWR) but weren't delivered until GWR had been fully amalgamated into British Rail. They use gas turbine engines powered with kerosene...effectively jet aeroplane engines.

    The Scottish Government have given a commitment to plant 18000 hectares of trees in Scotland over the next three years.

    I have a LEGO collection that passed the 18000 element milestone just before Christmas. The average number of LEGO bricks owned by every person on the planet is estimated to be 86.

    The UK's solar capacity has increased by over 18,000% since 2010, when it was just 0.0937 gigawatts (GW). As of October 2024, the UK's installed solar capacity was 17 GW.
    Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
