It’s the Le Mans 24hr race this weekend. Full coverage on Eurosport. (Doesn’t get a mention on the BBC.)
Not always the most riveting of races to watch, but it does have it’s moments.

All things considered, I still think tidal power is the way forward.

Using gas to produce electricity seems rather counter productive.

But hey ho 🙂

Of course cost is a (huge) factor, but tidal power has to be a better bet in the long run.

More efficient (depending on which set of figures you believe) than the the proliferation of wind farms, both onshore
and offshore. They will work all of the time at peak (or close to) efficiency, unlike wind turbines. They will work 24hrs,
unlike solar arrays. No pollution etc .
We will not be so dependent on Norway and Qatar for their gas.

Apart from the initial outlay, what is there not to like about them ?

Maybe promises were made to the Welsh, prior to the election ?
Cost aside, I think it’s about time we made use of our tidal power, although it’s not a new idea.
There used to be tide mills around the country, using a similar method to power themselves.

I believe the one at Woodbridge still works.

I can’t add anything to the discussion, other than there being some videos on Youtube showing
people restoring car headlamp lenses.

This overall scenario was not improved by the wandering registration number and photographing Hi-viz hordes mooching about in the visiting a/c parking area… which is why we marshalls who wished to remain relatively intact chose to wear bright white boiler suits under the obligatory Hi-viz bib. That way, we had at least a working chance that said spam-can jockeys wold figure out who we were, and what we wanted them to do.

That sounds to be the most sensible approach to me. Then when did common sense come into it ?

On a similar subject. Why does someone standing in the middle of a field with a theodolite, need to wear a hard hat ?

As far as High-Viz is concerned, It’s only really any good at night.
