United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Bali Blue

Correct me if I am wrong then. The Planning Permissions for the Race Bank Wind Farm was discussed by my local council, who rubber stamped it. The statuary statement at the end of the application was supposed to detaii how, at the end of life, the windmill sites were to be returned back to their original natural state. That part of the application was stated, "To be discussed at some future time". So the life stated was twenty years, so in 2040, the windmills disappear, and all that huge lump of concrete, or whatever holds them up is left underwater for future archeologists to wonder what race of aliens buit this wonder!

I note that we are to build a new Nuclear power staion, Dungeness B took nearly 30 years, and is subject to sea errosion. The stupidity of Politicians is legion! Raw materials for batteries should have run out by then.

Actually Boris said that would be up to local retailers to take a decision on.

No problem here now with empty forecourt tanks so why would there need to be restrictions? There were restrictions placed at the weekend (25l maximum) which again were decided by the retailers not Government 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic

Still lots of garages with no fuel, and long queues at those that do.

Driven past a few today.
