I read that the UK is spending the equivalent of £1000 per person to bury nuclear waste. Last week it was £1000 per person for HS2, the high speed rail network. Wonder where I will find the money?
The difference between the projects is that one is a discretionary spend (HS2), whilst the other is not. I suppose they could leave the waste in containers for a few thousand years up in Cumbria, but would still incur a high cost, and it doesn't get less, it gets more as our nuclear industry carries on generating electricity for us.
On the training front, I've got a stiff knee, probably due to an 11 miler on Sunday. Don't think it's connected to my old misaligned kneecap issue, it's more like the joint itself, so I'll put running on hold for a day or 2 and catch up with my cycling. Talking of which, I went out for 26 on Saturday, the first time since about Christmas and it felt good to be out there. Did the usual time trial loop round by Brandy Wharf without tearing any tress up, but enough to know I'm not too badly out of shape. It will be rollers tonight all being well.
