Only 2 Days of Gas in Reserve

Time to put the thermals on.

I know many people disagree, but the sooner we produce Nuclear Electrickery
the better
Self sufficent in electrickery
Rosyth has several Nuclear submarines sitting sinking, each one capable of producing enough electricity for a large town
I slept on top of one, three feet away for two years, I have normal children(and Grandchildren), I do not glow green, and twenty years on one is still sitting idle in Rosyth
This would save us paying FRANCE for Nuclear electrickery, and save the gas used in gas powered electrickery stations

Alex Salmond Scotlands premier, is adamant at wind power, the country side Vista is destroyed,they sit idle most days either no wind (not often) or so much they burn out so are turned off
Fife sits on the biggest coal reserves in the UK but the mines have been closed and flooded, the coal fired power stations use imported coal from Australia !

What a world

Makes you wonder how our "Great" country managed to get itself into such a mess.
I'm sure in 30yrs or so we will be considered a third world country, thanks to lack of planning, open trading and generosity to other countries.

I'm sure if a foreign power wanted to take over the UK, they could walk in tomorrow, and we would just stand by and watch it happen, what else could we do.

But then most of the country has already been taken over anyway, most companies are now foreign owned, so is a fair chunk of the property.
Strange how governments refer to it as "foreign investment in the UK".

If they control our gas/energy, they have us almost where they want us.

 

Do you think our Goverment has a plan?

 

We have gas central heating controlled by electrickery.

Either way we're in deep doo doo.

The sooner we start cracking those atoms the better.

Cheers, Tony.

 

Yep, bury their heads in the sand until it all blows over.

 

sounds about right- to much to hope they're on the ball

 

... so its now one day to go
... and its going to feel like -5 around here tomorrow
... one papers headline was "gas rationing" - how can you ration gas (apart from hyping the price) - it would be dangerous cutting whole areas off

... I would go for nuke power (albeit these plants would be owned by the French and Germans - and I can not see it being "cheap" they would fleece us consumers for every penny we got for their profits) - Why can not the "government" build one or two then we would be talking reasonable cost per unit

... and what about our coal reserves - (I know its the wrong type of coal) - there is plenty of gas, heat and electric buried under our land to last (did I hear once) 200 years. We can use this stuff in cleaner way than years ago

...Keep warm guys

 

300 years, but we're sitting on it till everyone else has run out. Thats why we are importing fuel at the moment.

 

...I suppose it will be sold like we did with north sea oil - cheap to the overseas ... then when we want help and energy from them they will fleece us

 

I think we ought to go with Nuclear, after all, won't it be too cheap to meter?

 

Cheap North Sea oil and cheap nuclear energy - I've read that we were supposed to be getting them sometime (so long ago that I've forgotten when), but not see either of them.

P.S. Has the gas run out yet?

 

Apparently Centrica has done a deal with the US to buy shale gas, I guess that's gas from fracking in in the US, or maybe somewhere else.
I think they are thinking of doing it over here, fracking that is, any thoughts on how dangerous it is?
I know we get the stupid reports of flames coming out of taps, etc.but just wondering on how its likely to affect the enviroment.

It does seem strange that we are going down this road bearing in mind how much coal is still down there.
