Re: Nuclear Madness

Their head of rail goes to head up a big bit of HS2 and they swiftly secure a massive contract.

I mean, I'm not saying anyone's stupid for believing in coincidences but when it walks like a Pope,...

Re: Nuclear Madness

A fair complaint I think, bit too obvious, no?

Re: Nuclear Madness

Sounds like a lot of risk, potentially. But also huge reward.

HS2 is going to be a mess, with the CH2M procurement issue recently, it just looks like classic UK politically unpopular sort of...

Re: Nuclear Madness

I never knew Greenpeace were responsible for this.

Very annoying to not manage to find mossie spray with DDT in it.

Re: Nuclear Madness

NIMBY-ism is one of the biggest issues that things can face. Solar panels aren't exactly pretty and wind farms get slated for their looks too.

Re: Nuclear Madness

Just done some reading, if you get in quick you can keep the good feed in tariff.

Even free ones - where companies take the feed in payments and you just get savings are still good if *you* can't...

Re: Nuclear Madness

I don't get why solar panels for housing in the UK isn't something that's massively subsidised? (It might be, I don't know for sure though).

Mum has had them put in and is laughing. Capital is...

Re: Nuclear Madness

I dislike the Chinese more than the next man, but if they don't get involved can we actually build it and stop a potential electricity shortage in the not to distant future? Not rhetorical, just...

Re: Nuclear Madness

Absolutely, look at some of the huge PFI hospitals that have been delivered, the BSF for schools as well. Even prisons etc. Things we can't / couldn't really afford and governments don't want to...

Re: Nuclear Madness

PFI and PPP stuff in the UK is hilarious. Re-modelled and changed for whatever fits any particular political agenda. Remember the BSF stuff? License to print money for a lot of private sector...

Re: Nuclear Madness

I wonder how many plants have been decommissioned around the world to date. Is it still a new thing or are we just spectacularly ****ing it up?

Re: Nuclear Madness

Re: Nuclear Madness

Meh, why not?

The UK is going to be in trouble if it doesn't get more leccy on the grid. The 'double current market price' is true today but that price doesn't start coming until the plant is...
