Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

That's what the papers said when they misinterpreted the half life of uranium and said that electricity would be too cheap to meter.

I may be one of the few people who never watched 'The X Files' in its heyday. I recently discovered it on FreeVee. Except for the cars many of the plot lines are timeless but one episode where they use a floppy to load malware to destroy an out of control AI gives it away.

They have been receiving the readings remotely - I can see them on their website, so I can't understand the multiple visits. There again, I have had nothing but trouble with this company, since I was moved there and I have now moved elsewhere.

Haven't UK pension funds also been forced to do the same over the past decade or so?

Not due to increased temperatures.

What makes you think that? The increased temperature of the of the ocean surface means that 10% more water vapour evaporates off it, which delivers 10% more energy into weather systems when it condenses as rain. More energetic weather systems move water further, and the effect on local rainfall isn't easy to predict.

Overall, there's 10% more of it, but it does always fall where it used to.

No, That wasnt what they said and it wasn't about uranium and had nothing to do with its half life.

That was an off the cuff remark about nuclear *fusion*.

Just because you have bought into the the Russian oil industries scare tactics about nuclear power, and their agents on government have tried to destroy the industry doesn't mean that treated not as a political football, green bogey man and general object of deliberate misinformation, nuclear power subjected to careful cost and risk benefit analysis, to render it no more than one or two orders of magnitude safer than wind energy solar panels hydrogen storage and so on, should not be produced at around one tenth the costs of any alternative.

Which is what they are of course, afraid of.

The BofE and the PM and treasury are effectively insider traders on the bond scam.

Blair made a fortune out of borrowing to the max, buying property, dropping interest rates and cleaning up in the ensuing house price boom

Apart from yourself (and I'm not even sure about that), is there anyone who isn't out to get you one way or another?

Ahh, I see your meds are wearing off - did you enjoy your little rant?

Ah, yes, I seem to remember some historic programs when Lizzie2 opened Windscale - "Too cheap to meter" (Just ignore the cleanup and decommissioning costs)

But cannot feed 66+ million people.

They have all got smart phones, and the fit and able ones are all heading for North Africa, then Italy or Spain, then Calais, then 4* hotel accommodation in the UK.

New Zealand and Oz send their poorer quality (fatty) meat for export to the PAcific Islands.

Tinned corned goat anyone ?. Great delicacy in Fiji and Tonga. They also eat a lot of bread and bread-based fast foods, plus high-carb basic foods grown locally. Being hot they don't need to waste energy maintaining body heat so they put on weight easily.

They have not read it for over 10 years. Every 3 months they send me an email requesting a reading which I submit using their online system and they generate an electronic bill which I pay online too.

I still have a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive in my PC, but it is disconnected.

Again all completely wrong

Much of the clean-up and decommissioning costs are due to the development being rushed and slanted towards producing supplies for weapons rather than for energy.

And are not intrinsic to the technology, but to the political and sociall opposition engendered by nations who have large supplies of fossil fuel to sell you.
