Very efficient that, sending electricity from northern Scotland all the way to southern Europe. I wonder how few % actually make it? -

Household Bills To Rise To Fund Energy Revolution
Pick It Down replied to OnlyMe's topic in House prices and the economy
They should be encouraging a power supply that can respond to demand. Windmills do the opposite. Peak electricity demand comes at times of very hot weather or very cold weather, conditions that come about with an absence of wind. The investment in windmills has been a complete waste, but it has sure lined the pockets of politicians' friends in the industry who got the nod and the wink. -
Print Money And Raise Rates.
Pick It Down replied to Pick It Down's topic in House prices and the economy
You forget that by printing they can depress bond rates? I'm not actually in gold, but it is an interesting alternative. -

Child Benefit To Be Scrapped For Higher Taxpayers

If I can remember it, I'll try and copy it in real life -
Child Benefit To Be Scrapped For Higher Taxpayers
Pick It Down replied to darwin's topic in House prices and the economy
Did you quote that from somewhere? If not it's one of the best lines I've seen on HPC. -
Been seeing this suggestion in a number of threads recently. Seems to "make sense" in that it could sort out the deficit at the same time as stopping the unfair penalisation of savers. But what would happen to the currency? Has this ever been tried anywhere? I expect in the short-term they (central bankers) would be seen to know enough that the effect would be muted, ie they know enough in order to make the two actions counter-balance each other. But would they really? Would you prefer to be in gold or paper when the paper is being printed but you could get a 5% YoY return with it?
