Feeling better?

Monday evening I spent 2 hours looking at a paracetamol trying to muster the energy to take it. So, better than that now… but not that much😕
thanks for asking, probably a re-evaluation time coming after this, being out here with no family with 300 cattle, kind of relies on having your health 365 days a year. With us both going down together, it’s not being good at all.

I blame idiots burning natural gas to make electricity and expecting solar panels and wind turbines to do all the work.

Makes Hinkley C at £92/MWh look stealing cheap.
Found this article shocking. The lack of water in the area . Wouldn't it make more sense to build it somewhere there's a lot of fresh water?

Does sound more sense to put it somewhere near fresh water but I guess it's the use of the existing infostructure their after. Also it's more politically acceptable to put it next to the existing site than a new one.

Over ruled by the Minister to push it through after planning said no due to lack of water. Might turn out to be very unwise.

Gonna build two stonking resevoirs in South Lincolnshire and Fenland. So water will be about. together with all the solar farms a field of wheat or spuds will have a novelty value.
