Maybe to make the Greenies happy,apparently all apprentices at Hatfield Colliery,Doncaster have been advised to find other jobs,
And to top it off 70 other workers have been made redundant,
And the future does`nt look rosey.
Last month Pentreclwydau/Unity Colliery went into administration in the Neath Valley with the loss of 230 workers,
Reading the prospectus from the Administrators looking for 60million of investment is like reading a party political paper before an election,
Its full of PR bull----,they don`t even seem to know what type of coal is underground or its market,but highlight the key management as the future saviours of this Colliery,when in fact ,there lies the problem of this Colliery with vast reserves,run by morons with high salaries.
What ever the fuel that is used in the UK for generation,we simply do not have a proper energy policy,there is no joined up writing,and the next 10yrs is going to be interesting,if not worrying. |

On the other hand, if you base your opinion on the facts...
“Market conditions in Europe have become increasingly severe over the past 18 months. A 30% drop in the unit price of European solar panels since the beginning of 2012 has left Wrexham’s output uncompetitive.
“In line with the corporation’s shift in its solar business strategy towards Sharp’s domestic market, the majority of panels produced at the plant during 2013 have been sold in Japan. From 2014, production for the Japanese market will be outsourced. This means maintaining capacity of Wrexham’s solar production is, regrettably, unsustainable.” |
It was meant to be a joke, rather than an opinion, apart from the cutting back on their consumption bit - that is a likely outcome, for some of them, though. |

It's a shame there's noone with a level head (and a big bank balance) to take on all these failing industries, scuppered by idiots in charge.
ETA - this has just come up in my Twitter feed (that sounds like some kind of birdseed...). |

Can't see that Rob as I am not on Twitter.
Ty Gwyn, I agree there is no joined up thinking about energy policy and that higher management are often the problem. For years now I have wished I was in a position to go into a large company and tell them to cut the rubbish, management speak, and financial manipulation and look at the facts, find them out if they don't know them, and generally to instil a bit of straight thinking into things.
As far as I can see, all we as individuals can do is to make sure that we can function as far as possible without centrally supplied power, both for our own benefit, and to help those that can't where we can. |
Or you could switch to Ecotricity, where the management has very joined up thinking |
