Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Why isn't this on BBC News .

Gordon Brown tried to broker a deal with the DUP in 2010, T.Bliar and
A.Campbell also had talks with them...

As usual the establishment hypocrisy stinks...

corbyn wants to get rid of our protection he wants the army to have no weapons
this young girls so thick they can not see that muslim women have no lives they are not allowed a life in their community .

I see Cardiff is a sea of red again Dil



Yeah but I'm from the Vale Of Glam - and just like CCFC we'll always be blue :-)

latest news on CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAME , Germany burning billions of tons of coal
and going to build another 6 coal fired stations over the next 4 years .

all against eu rules on CO2 so JAPAN have now stated TRUMP is correct the eu telling other counties to close their coal fired stations so JAPAN may has well start to build coal fired stations ,

japan says if the main country in the eu puts its two fingers up to the climate change deal then we will ignore it along with the USA trump is correct if coal is the climate problem why is the eu doing nothing to stop GERMANY BUILDING MORE STATIONS WHEN BY THEIR RULES SHOULD BE CLOSING THEM

COME ON YOU ENVIRONMENTLISTS ANSWER THE QUESTION

You spell it blown.

Unlucky 13th county.

you're right fred; i haven't heard this broadcast, but have in the past, and john major is very interesting to listen to, regardless of whether or not you agree with him

Excellent points, Tanker.

Having proudly started my working life off at 'Europe's biggest power station', situated on the River Trent, and when it was commissioned in 1959, I found it puzzling and sad to see it shut down in 2003, just 44 years later and then completely demolished in 2012.

On full tilt, it used to burn 200 tons of coal per hour, generating 1000MWs per hour and keeping several collieries going.

There were several, even bigger power stations built on the Trent about 50 years ago. I think just a couple of them survive today. I haven't checked up on it, but I think they either import wood pellets or alternatively maybe burn North Sea gas.

In doing all of this, we lost two important industries: Coal and Electricity. We chose to buy it from elsewhere.

Hmmm? Daft or wot?

however, and as you say, these power stations were built 50 years ago
ecological arguments apart, they had probably already seen out their commercially viable life

cynic no they were built to last over 100 years by having shut downs to refit .

this happened ever 3 years ,

Germany have broken the paris agreement and then they condemn trump you could not make it up

GERMANY BUILDING MORE COAL STATIONS BUT TELLING THE WORLD THEY CAN NOT
SO NOW JAPAN HAVE SAID FCUK THE EU

EX ANOTHER DUMB MOVE BY THE EU ,

the burning of wooden pellets are far worse than coal twice as bad for co2

fact , its all their to read

Germany have said bollocks japan and the USA should ignore the eu liars

Sensible economic contracts?

Whose back pocket is being filled?
28 Jul 2011


EDF Energy is awarded UK’s largest ever electricity supply contract

Is Germany's Green Revolution about to turn black with coal dust?
As the country moves away from nuclear, the builders of coal-fired power stations are moving into action.
When Chancellor Merkel announced the closure of all the country's 17 nuclear reactors by 2022, there were loud cheers from environmentalists.
But less well heard were the cheers

read the full transcript

Germany is now burning billions of tons .

why is no one from the climate committee asked questions , they have been shut up threaten with their lives?

It's €U green coal tanks, so everythings jake.

As before, May has to deal with both Brexit sides of her party.

Sturgeon needs to put Indyref2 on a lower shelf and concentrate on running the country.

Corbyn and Momentum have cemented their takeover of the Labour party - the main objective. Defeat for the so called moderates - do they stay or up sticks?

Labour take a 40% share but only manage to be 56 seats behind the Conservatives. Another surge required. Will they achieve it as the gloss on I'm With Jeremy weathers?

77826 - thanks for correcting me on the longevity, though i confess some surprise

imo germany should be roundly condemned, and ditto trump and china (burns horribly sulphurous coal) and japan

however, just because others wish to rush headlong towards ecological oblivion, there is no reason we (UK) should join with them

cynic why should the uk pay twice as much for elec
knocking down good stations on a lie by the eu is a disgrace

the eu laws have been trashed by Germany so why should any country take any notice of liars
