I've just spent a good half hour reading about tidal power, not something I'd thought much about (what with being in Oxford and as far from the coast as you can get) , so thanks for mentioning it. What is it with our governments and nuclear power stations though ?
Yeah I read the article, some people in the industry were saying it, but what was the general consensus at the time? It's easy to point at a single decision when the reality was probably more complex.
Depends on how you are defining 'high speed', not that it makes any difference unless the household can afford a computer to use it as well, or is this included?
Very few people aren't online nowadays because they have phones, and if I could dump my broadband and phone I would happily do so. Infact, rolling out broadband is an old world solution when perhaps 4G/5G is a better solution? But it will be harder to nationalise that.
Fair to say Chris Leslie makes a similar pointThat article mentions a 'Thatcher veto', was there a unilateral veto of it?

It's not just computers that use it you know!?
Well no, you need a router to start with of course, and then 'some device' as well. Sentient toaster, or something similar.
Yes. I'm amazed at some of the gadgetry that uses it now. My wife even bought a video doorbell so that we can see who's at the door, even if we're miles away!!?
Internet of Things (IoT), it's the future you know ?
