Those sheep? Must have escaped from somewhere, guv. Nothing to do with me, honest.

I read somewhere that LIDL picked up around a billion over the last 10 years in 'Public Development Funding', not solely from the UK admittedly.
From the way it was said, it sounded more like the destination was known. But yes, probably gone into the recycling heap.Do you mean it goes into the metal recycling heap?
Aren't you concerned about the "nuclear waste" recycled into your fridge, car and food cans?
I don't know, how many nuclear engineers dow it take to change a lightbulb ?How many nuclear engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two hundred and one.
One to change it, and 200 to guard the old one for the next 10,000 years.
Yes, the skyline had changed up there. Calder Hall cooling towers long gone, IIRC last time I was passing one stack had gone and the other was on it's way down. And the golfball is gone (or not far off).I hear ‘Cockcroft’s Folly’ was dismantled recently.
I live in Outer London.I live somewhere in between Sellafield and Heysham, and not all that far from Barrow. Not somewhere to live for someone afraid of "anything nukular"
And Cumbria - it didn't make the news, but you'd be surprised how long it was before the last of the restrictions were lifted.And when Chernobyl went off, didn't they find noticeable fallout in N. Wales?
Again, figures ? It's the sort of thing detractors like to quote (about anything) - but without figures it's meaningless. Yes I know that a nuclear power station uses a heck of a lot of (eg) concrete - but then that should be getting amortised over a long lifespan (40 years ?) producing a lot of energy (GW+), so the per-unit value is probably very low.My main concerns about nuclear power are that it isn't actually low-carbon, as many proponents would have you believe
Actually we do know exactly how to manage the waste. In part, the problem is that the anti-nuclear lobby won't allow us to manage it in a sensible way. I'll leave out certain management & cost cutting issues at Sellafield I'll also leave out that a heck of a lot of what's costing time and money at Sellafield is a combination of some very poor (in hindsight) decisions, and a lot that is nothing at all to do with civil power generationand we still have no idea, really, how to manage the waste.
Don't forget all the processes involved in creating the fuel for it.Yes I know that a nuclear power station uses a heck of a lot of (eg) concrete - but then that should be getting amortised over a long lifespan (40 years ?) producing a lot of energy (GW+), so the per-unit value is probably very low.
See how keen governments are to spend money on nuclear power research where the technology won't be any good for also making weapons.I'll also leave out that a heck of a lot of what's costing time and money at Sellafield is a combination of some very poor (in hindsight) decisions, and a lot that is nothing at all to do with civil power generation
But how much came from small-scale PV panels on people's roofs?On Christmas Day 40% of the national supply came from renewable energy.
Wasn't that at least as much the choice/wish of the generating companies?The proportion coming from coal dropped because UK gov't whim (policy is not the right word) has resulted in coal-fired stations being closed down.

HS2?If you've ever seen a really big project rolling down the hill towards certain disaster (NHS changes, for example) you'll recognise the signs.
