All... tides rise about 20 ft and fall about 20 feet. All shipping rises 20 feet and falls 20 feet. That's millions of tons feet that can be changed from potential energy into kinetic energy and into electricity.<br />Change ships for pontoons.<br />Less gas, less oil, less nuclear and more self sufficiency.

Its the working class Labour vote that UKIP should go after.<br /><br />The immigration issue is critical because of its impact on this large group who pay the price of immigration.<br /><br />I have just had a sharp difference of opinion with UKIP's current top econmist, Tim Congdon on BoE mpney printing. I have pointed out to him that the Governor designate did not do money printing in Canada but guaranteed two years of 0.5% rates but then Carney is a banker who understands business wheras Tim and King are economists who really only understannd other economists.<br /><br />Re energy we have to ditch useless, costly wind farms currently disfiguring our landscape and go for a misture of nuclear and gas.Eric Edmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661176160109187800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112651969466158066.post-57646681889516680352012-11-27T09:50:13.889-08:002012-11-27T09:50:13.889-08:00Dear Eric,
Finally it seems that Farage is gettin...Dear Eric,<br /><br />Finally it seems that Farage is getting the message that the EU is more damaging to the public at large than to the Tory grandees: there are as many if not more votes to be had from Labour than from the Conservatives at the moment.<br />I am quite shocked by the postbag I get from people in my circle outside of politics regarding the immigration issue, especially regarding Muslims. There is clearly an undercurrent of resentment. <br />Farage will establish UKIP as the champion of the people on this issue without needing to point out to the public that BNP will not deliver on immigration. The public can sense a party that meets their needs.<br />As the Lib-Dems found, changing perceptions and opinions takes time. <br />Farage also needs a top economist to suggest a way of getting UK out of the economic mess. He also needs to get some top businesses in the energy field to help him plot a way forward. Without energy there is no economy.ALAN WOODnoreply@blogger.com
