Solar in a country without sunshine? Or gee, I dunno, maybe throw some wind turbines up in Scotland? Say about 10,000 of them?

Maybe they can do like the Russians, and pay the air force to make the clouds go away. Sounds like a plan to me.

Re: Living Off the Planet (none / 0)

If you had a windfarm it would remind them of civilisation and, worse, the sort of DFHs their money protects them from.
