the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 1, 2012 http://news.sky.com/...r-cancer-battle labour MP Malcolm Wicks has died , I have no idea who he is . Never met him, but my MP at the time (Nick Palmer) was his pps during there time at the department of energy. In the round we had questions posed of how to move forward with aspects of UK energy policy. Most notably should we have new nuclear power stations, more gas or coal stations or more green power wind farms. My view was a yes to nuclear power but at a replacement number equal to half the number of plants in the past. Much more reliance on green power and a lessening of gas and coal power. Basically this view co-ensided with what Malcolm Wicks went with... Great minds, and all that... Labour done a thing where the government would pay half is you put solar panels on your roof or something and you sold your excess electricity back to the suppliers . But i believe Conservative govt scrapped it what a surprise . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitehouse 872 Posted October 14, 2012 Death of Fidel Castro seems to be trending topic on twitter!! Could be a big one today. He has his own topic being in the top 50. But I thought not mentioning him in this topic would be criminal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 14, 2012 I'm very surprised to read that Arlen Spector has died at the age of 82, he had a hell of a political career. I thought all of his health struggles would keep him alive for many more years to come but apparently that's not the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
