the nuclear plant on anglesey just down the road from me is due to get decomissioned soon too
so at least it'll match the one next to it that got decomissioned a while back
so now what we'll have is 2 monster concrete tower blocks
and they tried to appease the green lobby by creating 4 huge wind turbine farms about a mile off the north wales coast and they're planning on adding more to the ones that are already there...........
my electric comes from the hydro electric plant on the other side of mountain to my house
think that it's the most environmentally friendly option -- people like waterfalls and lakes and things so for me it adds to the scenery rather than detracting from it. thinking that more could and should be put into wave and tidal technology cos that wouldn't be so much of a blot on the landscape plus it'd make power even when there's little or no wind --- forgot my grandad's had baked beans for his dinner
if they want to try an experiment then try this :-
get a piece of 50lb fishing line -- about 3ft should be enough -- and tie a biggish hook on one end and a decent sized fishing weight -- 4ounces or more -- then get a fairly big piece of bread then push the hook through it and leave it where the gull will eat it
then watch as it takes the bread and flies off, once it starts turning in the air the lead weight will spin round it wrapping it up and making it crash into whatever
if it lands in the sea then it'll go straight to the bottom with a big splash
spent many hours doing this sort of stuff when i was younger
misspent youth and all that
