Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

Hi KLiK

I wouldn't have to if the task of the energy companies was to deliver a reliable and lowest cost electrical supply

Sadly this is now just a distant memory of what was the CEGB

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Electricity_Generating_Board

maybe you can make some solar panels & put them on the roof also?! though you don't get much sun, it will charge up batteries for a "dark hours"?!

in Croatia, it's OK now...we got a lot of water driven electricity, 60-70% of total...but here people don't care much about an electricity...it's just so common, that's it's expected to be there! confused

Just over a month to go. It cannot come soon enough.

A nuclear power station whose construction started in 1963

Just think about that for a moment

Hello Dave

Watch Morano in TX: Global warming even affecting the dead!

‘Siberian corpses may allegedly ooze contagious viruses as they melt. But that’s not all. We may need UN treaties and carbon taxes to save the mummies because they are turning to black ooze due to ‘global warming.’

EPA ban on wood stoves is freezing out rural America

But the larger problem is the Sue and Settle sweetheart lawsuits through which Greens dictate policy.

Get ready for your freedoms to be removed, the lights to go out, and our collective potential to be reined in

Get ready to sit in the cold and the dark.

Meanwhile .. the Sun controls our Climate .... not Man

Pray that this meeting will end in farce, as so many have before it.

Dave
