Power Mad.

Energy supply is not an easy subject.  Some days I have very strong opinions on, say, wind turbines.  There aren't enough!
Other days, they take too much subsidy, are not sustainable, an eyesore, danger to birds and a waste of money.
It's the same with nuclear power.  I am sure that nuclear power is the answer to most of our energy needs, is clean, and cost per megawatt is low enough to outweigh any risk associated with the design.
But then again... it takes huge amounts of money to clean up, huge amounts of money to build, and huge security risks.  See?  It's not easy.
One of EDF's top brass has resigned, allegedly due to the new nuclear plant they are involved with at Hinkley Point.  He's probably with me on that one.

I chanced upon the last 100 laps or so of the madison competition at the UCI world cycling championships yesterday.  If you have never watched a Madison race, it's absolutely frenetic, with teams of 2 trying to get in front of other teams of 2 for 200 laps of the cycling track.  Happily for us Brits, our duo of Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins managed to come back from a lap down to bring home the bacon, with a thrilling display of cycling power noisily encouraged by a noisy partisan crowd
