2112 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) We are behind on everything. The only behind is Alf Cannan. We should have have wind turbines on top of Snaefell, and surrounding peaks. Perhaps if we have to pay farmers not to farmers, their fields should be turned into solar farms. Every little helps. Still we may develop some sustainability, with a bit of the usual mess of over budget and late delivery that only our government can achieve.

Kopek Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Alfs' statement on sustainable energy was laudable. Why did he have to ruin the sentiment by saying 'we can make money from this' ? Makes us look like Fagin ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 This economic strategy is far to complex and dependent on a lot of 'what if we did this, or that?' Two steps only! 1) Sort out the basics, healthcare, education, the state of the place (because it's generally a shithole!) make the PS work for a living instead of enabling the part timers that many of them are! That will improve a lot of things to enable things to happen. 2) As I have been saying for years, a full blown university to attract 15,000 students. Watch the economy fly and the infrastructure improve dramatically around it! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like calling 1) only one step is maybe not entirely accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but if we don't have the basics and groundwork right, any plan, no matter how ambitious, will fail at the first hurdle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
