00:00Yeah, but it depends how aesthetic it is, you know.

00:05Just sticking one at the end of every street or, you know, it's hard to take.

00:10It might become the new normal, you know, in 20 years' time.

00:14I'd be like lampposting the streets, like, you know, I don't know, but at the minute they're pretty ugly.

00:25But I always feel like the governments are going to rob us anyway.

00:28They'll give us a little bit of freebies at the beginning, and they'll still tax us.

00:32No, I don't want it. And secondly, I don't believe it would be cheaper neither.

00:37Because there's not enough sun, there's not enough wind.

00:41We'd end up importing it all in anyway, and then you've got your import charge and everything else,

00:45so it still costs more. So just stay nuclear.

00:49Solar panels and all that was a big thing about 10, 12 years ago.

00:52They said, it's free, it's free.

00:54And then slowly but surely, you know, it costs more, and they still take the electricity or charge it.

00:59Not charge, yeah.

01:00Not charge yet.

01:01Not charge yet.

01:02Not charge yet.
