In regards of economics of the UK, one of main restrictions imposed by the European Union
was in the fishing industry. We're an island and many boats from Portugal and other countries
can fish just a few hundred yards off the British coast.
But in many places along our own coastline, we can't!
The reality of solar-power in the Britain is ridiculous and if there was one area where exporting
a product would be profitable, is rainwater!! A few years ago, we were actually trucking water from
reservoirs near me in the north to the lower areas in the south.
A BBC website shows a general pattern of subsidence of 1-2mm a year in the London area and
even though the Thames Barrier -a mechanism designed and built from a company of my hometown,
is stopping the flooding from the river, it still needs water.
For the traditional industries of coal and steel, we were told it was a dumping of cheap steel from
the Chinese onto the market that caused the closure of the Redcar Steelworks and the almost closure
of Port Talbot in Wales.
The coal-mining is all-but dead. There's 26 open-cast mines still open, but the last deep mine closed
in 2015. This means that the original settlements that grew-up around the pits fell into despair and with
no other industry available, became sad impoverished villages and towns.
Of course, London wasn't effected.
We could invest more in wind-power, the North Sea and The Irish Sea have fields of windmills sitting
just off the shore. Well, why not...? It's not like we can fish there!!
But I'm sure the bluster that politicians produce could be put into better effect and keep the country
running. Just don't ask them to do any serious work to assist that!
