But creating thousands of jobs in spreading photon-sourced electrons around is less sexy than creating a few hundred jobs in making sure that not too many radionuclides escape into the environment.DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-90431778879957599892009-06-16T12:02:59.348+01:002009-06-16T12:02:59.348+01:00The Institution of Electrical Engineers [IEE] is n...The Institution of Electrical Engineers [IEE] is now the Institution of Engineering and Technology [IET].weggishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651722712995395981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-44902657719602331412009-06-16T00:38:15.939+01:002009-06-16T00:38:15.939+01:00For those who may have wondered what "I not y...For those who may have wondered what "I not you do not think I am being over pessimistic on (b)" really means, it means that I did not proof read properly.<br /><br />It should read "I do not think I am being over pessimistic on (b)"<br /><br />Sorry.

This is a normal part of politics. I know, I've served my time on Woodspring District Council. Despite appearances, Ministers are not completely stupid. They are University educated, most of them, and half their time is spent in being briefed on things. <br /><br />They can understand it all right. The real problem is getting the <i>[insert common term for illegitimate offspring]</i> to do what needs to be done, rather than doing what the established fossil/nuclear corporations who are pouring money into their back pockets to do.<br /><br />Excuse me while I bang my forehead repeatedly on the work surface.DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-24423574202256651592009-06-15T22:12:23.501+01:002009-06-15T22:12:23.501+01:00I think you are being just a little over optimisti...I think you are being just a little over optimistic on (a).weggishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651722712995395981noreply@blogger.com
