Most of the wind farms will take over a decade to pay for themselves and the parts & componentry won't last for that length of time. The only people who win from this are the companies who win the lucrative maintenance contracts.

All of this is a huge fucking con.

We should be nuclear...

If we are taking purely in energy terms, they do pay for themselves.

If we are talking cost, then yes it's possible, but cost shouldn't be the only factor, we should be focussing on clean, safe energy where possible, both fossil fuels and nuclear have issues here.

But also, as demand increases (which it will), and supply of fossil fuels decreases, prices will go up. This will make wind farms (and other renewable energy sources) more economical, over time, and the more money is pumped into it, the longer they will last, further reducing costs.

Lewisham A&E to close, just after spending £12m on renovating it. How the hell do they expect Queen Elizabeth and Kings to cope?

Fuck you Matthew Kershaw.

It will get knocked back by the health minister and the trust will say if they are too keep it open they need more money.

It's not going to close, just politics meets economics.

Sounds like the start of a sexy sitcom.

I think Amsterdam's a boring city, but lying in bed watching my butler neatly fold my clothes for next morning before he packed away the cleaning products I'd just used, then happily gazing at magical things happening outside the hostel's window courtesy of mushrooms not quite ready to put their feet up, lives long in the addled memory.

Are you high? Mushrooms don't have feet.

Anything's possible in Amsterdam, apparently.

NYC power station a couple hours ago;

Psychic pair fail scientific test

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-20145664

The results, carried out under test conditions, did not show evidence of any unexplained powers of insight.

     *But medium Patricia Putt said this experiment "doesn't prove a thing".*

"Scientists are very closed-minded," she said.

Ha ha....

I think they performed over par, quite frankly.

This is pretty interesting.
