Entertaining as usual; puerile, as often; and wrong on a couple of counts, as ever.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostIn full flow yesterday at his very best, killing lefties

This has been my perfect week
Jeremy Clarkson
A couple of weeks ago, plans for a wonderful new coal-fired power station in Kent were given the green light and I was very pleased.
This will reduce our dependency on Vladimir’s gas and Osama’s oil and, as a bonus, new technology being developed to burn the coal more efficiently will be exported to China and exchanged for plastic novelty items to make our lives a little brighter.
...
It turns out the eco-mentalists don’t like nuclear power either for lots of reasons, all of them stupid. ... they ask what we will do with the waste. Simple. Put it in the Rainbow Warrior.
We won't develop cleaner ways of burning coal, we'll just talk that talk during the political approval process, then drop it as too unknown/expensive later. No sane energy company is going to build a clean coal plant as long as its competitors are still allowed to build dirty plant.
Nuclear power is clean, as long as you reclassify nuclear waste as not being pollution. That's what we have done, with the pious assertion that somebody will later think of a way to handle it safely.
If it's safe, put it in London. If it's not, don't have the gall to put it in places that don't need it.Comment

We only ever built nuclear power stations to create fissile material! And now, saints be praised, just when we need cheap, never-going-to-run-out, clean and safe energy, nuclear power is suddenly a panacea! It's OK, folks, it's safe these days, costs nowt to run, and radiation is so 80s! The sad truth is that no easy solution exists, other than reducing the number of energy-hungry humans clogging-up the planet. No chance of that.Originally posted by expat View PostEntertaining as usual; puerile, as often; and wrong on a couple of counts, as ever.

Totally agree - and it's a right laugh Clarkson talking about our dependence on the Russians - who does he think is to blame for that? He is (sometimes) funny though, and I'm sure even he doesn't take anything he says too seriously.Originally posted by expat View PostEntertaining as usual; puerile, as often; and wrong on a couple of counts, as ever.

And he believes more enginerrs needed - in the style of Brunel.
I doubt anyone would disagree with him on those points?Comment

He's a fckwit. End of - happy for him to stick to cars, but everything else he's a complete tosser - read his column in the times regularly, and he's straight out of the school of open your mouth and spout any old bollocks out that comes into your brain without thinking.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostHe believes that there are far too many health and safety people about - introducing and implementing ridiculous rules.

Agreed. Nuclear power = salvation, my arse! That twot got his boxers in a twist when folk wandered past his Isle of Man property, never mind having a nuke factory at the bottom of HIS garden!

Excellent atricle by Clarkson. Like his point on wind power, only ignoramic baboons support wind farms.
