noooo:

He gets worse - mind you the reporting was shite too...  noooo:

Surely you'd just plug-in your car at home are when you get to work - you won't need 'filling stations' as we have now...

As you said tho, the tiny flaw in the plan is the source of enough 'lectric to replace all the millions of gallons of petrol we use every day...  noooo:

Fucking idiot!  Banghead

This is deviousness on an almost Machiavellian level. In a single announcement he's justified the shed load of nuclear power stations he wants to build as well as potentially making a fortune when he tacks on 'fuel duty' to everybody's already sharply rising electricity bill.

No doubt, if this pledge is like any of the others he has made, we'll all have these first.

My mate Andy was driving me home the other day and informed me that the council had just built a new "eco-park" in his town.

There was something in the way he said it, so I asked him "WTF is an eco-park?"

"An incinerator".

We laughed so much we had to stop the car.
