anyone invest in it as an on going concern. There have been some others

a lot of people stand to make a lot of money out of the taxpayer with
these ecobollox projects.


only if it works

They get paid for the leccfy they generate

if the prediction that it will silt up is correct they will get paid nothing
by the *bill*payer (not the tax payer)
