We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Well, they haven't...obviously...I'm sure most of Europe would be up for more (even more than more) cheap electricity if France was prepared to be the bunny!

You are in unchartered territory, for sure?!?

Price, dooooooooood, why don't you tell us the price of eggs in China?!? (hmmmmmmmn?!?)

If they don't produce any more that they can sell, they won't have any to dissipate. There is no "otherwise".

British Energy rejects a takeover bid.

Guess they must hold out some hope that these things will eventually get built.
