I don't drink milk from horses, dogs, cats, sheep, or even goats.

There was one time I was gonna get to drink some human milk, and the couple's enthusiasm suggested possibly from the tap, but alas I never got the chance.

Our local power station, the 1000 megawatt Fawley plant, closed today March 31st:

I wonder where our electricity will come from in the medium term.   

What about your windmills, solar panels, and forest burning power plants?

Do it à la German:
Russian gas, coal, or French nuclear power plant, then pretend to be green.

I want to try goats milk. They do make good cheese.

You would have puke it out. The human body isn't a refrigerator, that thing comes out warm.

[Syt]

I've found it tasty enough.

Its good, but not the first few weeks, that concentrated stuff is nasty.

What? We're not Germany

They are still catching up, AFAIK the UK is the country with the fastest installation of offshore wind turbines in the world. They have to put them at sea because the NIMBYism is atrocious on land.

We pretty much already do that.

NIMBYism is atrocious for everything on land. We can't build houses, the high speed rails controversial, expanding London's air capacity's a nightmare and there's real issues with all power plants - we need all of them over the next 10-20 years though.

Ironically nuclear's one of the easier ones because many of the new plants are planned to built on top of old decommissioned sites.

Oh, it's much worse than that, locally they're trying to install an offshore wind south of the Purbecks and the well off are complaining it'll spoil their view.

Will it not?

I find wind turbines quit cool to look at actually.  It certainly has not hurt the view in West Texas.
