Look at HS2 -  It might be a coincidence but they seem to have tunnelled under great swathes of land that are owned by those with money.

Speaking of money, did you see that Plaid Cymru are seeking to get some money from the offshore wind sector from The Crown Estate? I had never realised that windfarms pay rent to The Crown Estate.

Oh yes Mark the set up is all wrong ref the take old Chuck gets bud, I must admit it’s a great gig if you can swing it eh. Absolutely wrong in every sense. Realistically I know it gets filtered through the system but it’s certainly a throwback to earlier times imo.

Yeap, gotta love Vatternfall buying stuff like that to subsidise Sweden and you can't buy shares.

 

Why premium bonds don't get their hands on them I will never know.

 

Surely 33m is atleast a couple of turbines we could just take in exchange?

Unfortunately the way it is, it favours electricity produced by gas or nuclear

It's a shame we don't have shipbuilding anymore, given the monies involved.

Even if the government paid half we'd still be triple the price Daewoo and such can build them for in Korea.

 

We can't even make large steel pipe in Germany anymore, probably Chinese or Indian.

My mate took that picture, he fixes the things. The money involved in the infrastructure is something else.
