Read it, crazy isn't it and all the while they are trying to push us into electric cars. I would miby consider one if it was cheaper like they are in Norway.

 

I've watched a few videos of a bunch of microlight flyers and they always know when they've crossed the border into Scotland, because the wind farms start!

Issue is that the grid is crap. So it's that or pylons everywhere. Great planning by our short term governments as always

I watched a bit of Simon Reeve in Norway on the BBC. Apparently before North Sea oil was discovered in 1969, it was pretty much a backwater with fishing the only industry. 

They however invested their oil money and now have a 13 trillion public bond. So they can fund all the public spending they want and however much they spend per year the interest on the bond is soo much, it still goes up.
