Hi there!
Between all the load-shedding and unexpected power outages, I did get to finish chapter 12.
Well, Eskom decided that either the coal is wet, or some other lame excuse for shutting down the power for 2 hours at a time. If they stop selling electricity to Zimbabwe, it will help our economy a great deal. And then again coal produce 8 kilowatt hour of electricity for every 1 kilogram coal burned. One kilogram of Uranium 235 deliver 24000 kilowatt hour, so why are we still burning coal? Okay, I understand, politicians can’t do sums. (Maybe count votes. Who knows?)
So, before the anti-nuclear activists start killing me, let’s skip the subject. All I can say is that I DID work at a nuclear facility, and you get more radiation from the sun each day, then standing next to a nuclear reactor! And it is not necessary to put on all that lead lined overalls. Only if you work with the fuel rods, else, all is safe, even walking across the catwalk over the reactor.
Then there’s GREEN RENEWABLE ENERGY, but the cost to us little mortals. Oh, boy! (And girls.)
Chapter 12 of “The Sound of Thunder” will be available later today at Storiesonline.net. And by the way; the pictures that did not make the cut to chapter 12 will be available on the page here.
Have fun and enjoy!
Keep well, stay safe and out of mischief!
(Okay, for you boating fans: Keep the pointy side towards clear water! Stand on the blunt end and wave to us not so fortunate to have a boat. Even a little one.)
Bye 4 now!
