United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The Tories should get in the sea for this idea.

Unless you are prepared to move HVDC the costs are immense for moving AC cabling under the sea. The reason we use pylons is be cause there is a massive energy drain if you place cables in the ground over long distances. This problem is near doubled in losses if you place the cables in water.
Can't MPs learn a little about search engines. We have kids getting smarter every generation because they have such good access to information, and yet some MPs are still stuck in the middle ages.
The cables also have to come onshore at some point, especially if one of the aims is to better connect inland rural communities.
Which will mean some sort of pylon.
Not if global warming raises sea levels suffciently! .... taps forehead
It's all part of a broader plan to harness the untapped energy trade with Atlantis and Doggerland.
