They'd have to be padding an awful lot if they were actually worse than American ones.

You're not going to stop people crashing their cars until we have autonomous cars. However, if you see a disease arising that poses a serious threat to millions and you have the chance, you should consider doing something about it.

85,000 wind turbines would produce about 465 000 000 MWH, anout 30% more than total annual UK consumption. As mentioned above that many could fit in a square 11 miles on each side. Do you pull your numbers out personally or have your proctologist do it?

Start off in the Philippines.
