Black Dick's ECIU issue a rallying call for windmill replacement.
It contains this gem:
Report author Dr Jonathan Marshall, ECIU Energy Analyst, said that with onshore wind the cheapest source of new electricity generation, repowering is a cost-effective way to secure new capacity:
With a <25% load factor. As ever - the claim is suspicious - anybody seen a credible review of the workings of that "lowest cost electricity" is from onshore windmill claim?
They seem hell bent on following S. Australia.

Scott Pruitt says emissions standards for cars, light trucks should be revised
Last Updated Apr 2, 2018 11:39 PM EDT
"The Trump administration announced its intent to roll back signature Obama-era greenhouse gas and fuel emissions standards for cars and light trucks on Monday, according to a press release.
Scott Pruitt, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, said in a statement that the EPA was still working to determine "appropriate standards" but called the emissions determination made by President Obama's EPA "wrong."
"Obama's EPA cut the midterm evaluation process short with politically charged expediency, made assumptions about the standards that didn't comport with reality and set the standards too high," Pruitt wrote in a statement. "

China could buy the lot, to get Zimbabwe's economy moving, and into adjacent countrries, as an example of how the Chinese understanding of business, trade and international development is better than that in the USA

By "organised", what you say is what I meant.
Someone noticed and shared as you all informally chatted and a grass-roots "rebellion" in favour of a sensible choice happened and defeated the NUS political candidate

Tesla stock keeps tumbling, while analysts say it’s fallen far enough. Apr 3, 2018 7:50 a.m. ET
Some analysts advise buying the dip, with shares around their lowest in a year
Bloomberg News/Landov
Tesla Inc. stock started a new week pretty much the same way it ended the last: Veering toward some of its worst marks and beset by doubts about the company’s ability to turn out as many Model 3 sedans as it has promised.
Tesla TSLA, +5.96% shares fell as much as 8.1% in intraday Monday. It pared some losses to end down 5.1% and at their lowest in a little over a year.
That comes on the heels of the stock’s largest monthly decline since December 2010, down 22% for March, and a 12% weekly loss. Read more about Tesla’s bad March.
