The programme is a PDF - commonly used for academic papers & the like; worth getting a handle on I'd say.

Fact is, wind turbines don't work - & they know they don't work. All the budget for renewable energy is being poured into what amounts to a crap green appeasement simply so they might rail-road in the new breed of nuclear power stations without going through the usual channels.

I love Stella Power Station (linked to above); but then again I was brought up in an industrial landscape of coal-fired power stations and collieries - and the communities who served them. Here's my old homeland, Blyth in Northumberland - listen carefully & you'll hear Ewan MacColl celebrating it in song:

20 years on and there's not a trace of it - and all because Thatcher paid off the scientists to justify fucking the miners over. Now the pits are gone, and the old isolated ex-colliery villages are dwarfed by increasingly monstrous turbines adding insult to injury...
