Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

Ah, yes, I seem to remember some historic programs when Lizzie2 opened Windscale - "Too cheap to meter" (Just ignore the cleanup and decommissioning costs)

But cannot feed 66+ million people.

They have all got smart phones, and the fit and able ones are all heading for North Africa, then Italy or Spain, then Calais, then 4* hotel accommodation in the UK.

New Zealand and Oz send their poorer quality (fatty) meat for export to the PAcific Islands.

Tinned corned goat anyone ?. Great delicacy in Fiji and Tonga. They also eat a lot of bread and bread-based fast foods, plus high-carb basic foods grown locally. Being hot they don't need to waste energy maintaining body heat so they put on weight easily.

They have not read it for over 10 years. Every 3 months they send me an email requesting a reading which I submit using their online system and they generate an electronic bill which I pay online too.

I still have a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive in my PC, but it is disconnected.

Again all completely wrong

Much of the clean-up and decommissioning costs are due to the development being rushed and slanted towards producing supplies for weapons rather than for energy.

And are not intrinsic to the technology, but to the political and sociall opposition engendered by nations who have large supplies of fossil fuel to sell you.

Source?

I find

which is 2018, but says it has grown 10% in a hundred years.

Our PM was going through the file cabinets of an employee who left and found some 5 1/4 floppies. I'm sure there was some valuable information on them. The company hasn't been around long enough to have squirreled away any 8" floppies.

I think they also send their mutton to the US giving a new meaning to mutton dressed as lamb.

I've never seen mutton for sale in a supermarket, or on a restaurant menu here in the USA. Lamb chops are rarely available.

Sheep are grown here mostly for wool. Knitting has become a fad, not just among women.

Not going to happen with humans.

Its what the frogs proved only a little later than that.

Technically there is lamb, hogget and mutton. Most 'lamb' is hogget - balanced between flavourless and too tough.

Since most lamb is reared for meat, there is very little mutton available on the market.

Not in a supermarket. I bet we could find it in a Middle Eastern or Latino grocery, alongside the goat.

Even my supermarket has lamb chops, and it's a Walmart knockoff with everything from apples to apple trees.

Years ago when my sister first emigrated to Germany and before she became a post menopausal raving vegan and ecotard, the only place she could get lamb was in the Turkish immigrant community German food is pretty good quality, but it's massively short of variety. Beef venison or pork and that's about it. Being largely landlocked, apart from carp they don't do much fish either.

The most common potato variety is however excellent. which is a good thing because that's about the only one you can get.

I don't know where they source it, but my local Waitrose's lamb is 50% more expensive than the butchers but tastes twice as good, as does their pork.

I did the same. Two step up gears connected back to the same shaft to get a gearbox that drove itself. It took me a long time to work out why it locked up solid.
