You will now.
Can't help noticing that the linked Express article says he has beaten prostate cancer, not colon cancer. For the anatomically challenged among you, it's the hole you pee through, not the one you sh1t through.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Let them rape cake.

You're talking about immunity from prosecution. This isn't prosecution
I asked about the Airman's Corner excavations at in the visitors' centre when I visited Stonehenge this summer. Apparently they're hoping *not* to find anything interesting there; they are looking for somewhere to put a new visitors' centre, and want to make sure that there won't be any archaeological remains under the car park.
OK here goes
Le plus ça change, le plus ça même old joke.
Yeah - if your car loses grip at 75mph in a gentle curve, even in the wet, there's something seriously wrong with either your car or the road surface.
Disclaimer: I live in Germany, and my 7-seater "people carrier" with winter tyres and no ESP can manage 130-140 (80-90mph) round a gentle curve with only perhaps a small bit of understeer at the top end of that range. With summer tyres it's much better --- but allegedly isn't so good in snow, not that I've ever noticed much difference there either.
Besides turning a small portion to wetlands would just increase available farmland, win/win
Not really - your solar collectors wouldn't work all that well any more
I can't argue with your assertion about the amount of desert - I just don't have any figures. However, all I'm trying to point out is that the so-called "renewable" energy sources have their environmental impacts too.
The amount of tidal energy we take would be infinitesimal compared to the energy available.
That isn't really the point. The point is, what happens locally (around the tidal generator/wind farm/solar collector/whatever) when a significant amount of energy is removed just there. There are already examples of this in Europe: altered pollination patterns for wind-pollinated plants (grasses etc.) downwind of wind farms. No-one knows the long-term effects of this - though I guess we might soon find out.
So you know the full environmental impact of covering deserts with solar collectors, do you? You wouldn't half look stupid if your desert became a wetland in a short space of time because you cooled the region too much.
Removing significant amounts of energy from waves and tides could also have interesting environmental side effects.
Basically you're going to get some form of side effect whenever you convert large amounts of energy from one form to another. The questions are: what are the effects, and are we willing to accept them?
Not saying nuclear is better. just pointing out the downside (never mentioned, possibly unknown) of the so-called "renewable" energy sources.
My front door lock froze at midnight CET. Couldn't get back in after letting off fireworks. Fortunately there's a back door, but if that hadn't worked we could have tried the windows
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
