  • Hard News: Biting back at Bill,

    When SWMBO and me came back from the UK 3 years ago we didn't bring the telly. We still have yet to buy a TV card for any of the PC's. Reading this I can't see any compelling reason to bother. The strange thing is that after the first few months you really don't miss it.

    As for on-line, it is catching up !

    Roll on Keith.

    Savant - Yeah good call - but I do buy in to Riddley's bogeyman point. If European energy policy ends up as a drive towards nuclear energy at all costs I can't help feeling that an opportunity will have been lost.

    Now where's that damn cat......

    Does climate change kill kittens ?

  • Hard News: No Friends of Science,

    Couple of things:

    I have been quite interested to see how Labour and the Tories in the UK seem to have ended up on a bidding war over this. That is to say they appear to be trying to “out green” each other. From this I would speculate that someone in shareholder land has decided that climate change really is bad for business (possibly insurance – note similar goings on here - this may be a feature of business not dominated by oil production). Whether this actually leads to hard policy is another matter. I’m quietly hoping that a similar bidding war might break out here.

    As far as psychology goes I guess that if you have grown up believing that hard work is good and hard work equals the right and means to conspicuously consume; then to have the goodness of this relationship challenged will be quite confusing and alarming.
