  Why are we not drilling extremely deep boreholes next to thse power stations, removing the burny bits and converting them to run on geothermal energy instead of pulling them down?

  Stonehenge is a prehistoric ceremonial COMPLEX. Should we move all the burial mounds and barrows with it? The fields around the monument be moved to a new site? Will we move about 1 square mile, including the important RIVER, and the adjacent WOODHENGE and other related sites, into a museum? Sorry, but that (moving Stonehenge) is about the dumbest idea ever…

  This huge highway project will DESTROY the rural character of the area around Stonehenge! I visited a few years ago, and the amount of traffic did not seem extreme, or unusual. The approach to Stonehenge is part of the ancient experience! A new, modern highway structure will destroy it! I would prefer limited access, if it comes to that, to an ugly new highway near it.

  As a kid in the early 60s I would trainspot on Bordesley Station. Local sevices to Leamington be they diesel or panier tank pulled steam used to stop there. The highlight was the 6pm weekday '6 o' Clock King' out of Snow Hill bound for Paddington. Always King class hauled it made a terrific noise as it plundered through the station.

  Yet another legal hurdle today. Time to pull the plug and accept that we have to rat run this section for evermore. Use the train instead? Too expensive for me as I'm not on a £65 K train driver's salary and unreliable when that's not enough for them. A cut and cover tunnel would be so much cheaper or no tunnel at all as there's already a main road running past the stones, just dual it anyway

  The Netherlands is a small country with nearly 18 million inhabitants, and especially the Western part, also called the Randstad (Rim City) which is a large ring of cities containing the 4 major cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrechts and dozens of smaller and intermediate cities is actually one large conurbation or mega city of by now (and depending on how you draw the boundaries) about 8 million people. You can never move that many people with only bikes. And in the context of the Netherlands it is also not possible to widen the roads that you see in this video, and that are already quite wide, often 10 to 12 or 14 lanes, to double the width again. So the Dutch solution is to combine all these modes of transport, so that people can choose the most convenient method to reach any destination. Therefore most people have both one or more cars in the house hold, but also bikes for all. Most people like to take the bike if possible and to take the car where necessary, when a destiantion is too far and/or not well reachable by bike or public transport.

  With today's technology, they can greatly reduce the pollution and emissions from a coal fired power station, one technology that particular power station has, is Selective Catalytic reduction technology which removes nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas emitted by power station boilers and other combustion sources. Of course we'd all like nuclear Fusion power stations to produce 24/7 reliable electric just as coal fired ones have for a very long time, but we're decades away from the technology maturing enough for fusion power stations to be built and mainstream. Renewables, such as Solar, Wind, hydro etc... won't provide anywhere near enough power for us all, so they'll need other forms of power generation to bridge that gap, and avoid power outages and our country grinding to a halt as a result. The national grid barely manages at the best of times, we need more generation, not less. I think we need a diverse range of power generation methods/fuels, and the same with fuel as a whole, In vehicles for example, I believe that Electricity simply can't fully replace Petrol and diesel like for like, as we just can't produce enough of it in our country, Instead we need a variety of different alternative fuels, like fully Synthetic carbon neutral liquid fuels, fuels made from waste, biomass, Hydrogen, as well as electricity.

  If you're going to build highways anywhere, then they are doing it in the right place, and it's great that they are investing lots into the transport networking, but given what we know about induced demand, it is somewhat surprising how much widening they've chosen to do, vs. for example, building more/faster railway lines. They only have 1 high speed line and that ended up being very controversial. The other thing that amazes me is how come they're able to find the money for all this construction, when in the UK our government doesn't seem to be able to rub 2 pennies together for things like HS2, and yet they have half of our population and tax payer workforce. Do they just have high taxes or perhaps they're better at not wasting money like we do?

  I do think more high speed rail does nothing for regional traffic. As the Netherlands is very small, high speed rail is only useful for international trains. The Netherlands already has one of the densest railway networks in the world. But more lightrail would be a great, to reach Amsterdam's satellite towns.

• 
  @mdhazeldine4 ай бұрын

  @@robeleco1 True, but international traffic is not a zero amount. How many cars are travelling across the border that could be going by rail instead? And if you build high speed lines, people could get from Amsterdam to Groningen, Arnhem, Eindhoven and Maastricht faster, and it would free up some capacity on the slower lines for more frequent regional services. More trams and light rail would also be very helpful.

  Co2 is tree and plant food. What’s wrong with that? It’s Geo Engineering that’s damaging in the environment. Spraying chemicals like aluminium high up into the atmosphere is far worse that what this power station is ever capable of doing. Coal fired power stations are far reliable than wind power.

  If we carried on using coal our energy prices would be a fraction of what they are today. We should have had a nationalised coal company that didn’t make a penny in profit and supply it to the power stations to then be used to make power for a nationalised electricity supplier
