Re: LQD: You call the British power market (none / 0)

Well, clearly, if the shareholders skim the profits so the company doesn't keep enough assets on its balance sheet to pay for decommissioning, the company will be technically bankrupt, and will have to be bailed out... oh, wait!

Re: LQD: You call the British power market (4.00 / 2)

Private Eye today notes that the French company that appears most likely to get the contract for the construction of the new Nuclear power stations has as its head of media relations one Andrew Brown, who just by coincidence happens to be the brother of the Prime Minister.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
