My dad is a manufacturer, he's been doing thiat for nearly forty years, and I just thank heaven above that nothing bad has forced all closures of factories here in Britain. Possibly because those of them that are American owned are in safe hands, for now. The production line starts from scratch and relies on expiry dates now, on prosthetics and pharmaceutical products for better efficiency. Anyway, coal saving as an alternative is no different to how the steel industries ended up here in Great Britain, on the scrap heap, putting it none too bluntly.
Coal in the States has the upper influence of shared alliance with Chinese Coal industrialists to grow and scale profit.
We here in Great Britain now rely on solar panelled elctricity and wind farms to keep going, all because of greedy industrialists and politicians, like the late ex chancellor George Osbourne.
Now, the National Grid is on target to achieve better efficiency saving fuel consumption without the need for power plants, but will increase the cost on Smart Meter checks in the future, when they become suitable for the consumer market in five years minus the average time of three. Who will profit from this? Maquerie investors from China and Australia. They will make profits from the Hinkley Point project as it is known and this will be re-invested into cleaner fuel distribution in our economy. However, the project employs just 5,700 people and these are mostly admin and engineers. All the real man power has evaporated. This is a sad end to the bygone days of hard graft. Quatari and CIC also had shares, but fears are over Australians managing investment through our profit schemes and targetting consumers in their pay packet through higher higher investment schemes on fuel allowances.
Hard graft demands greater fluidity and management of co-workers to get the job done and from what I'm told there is no stock controller handling audit estimates, it all gets done by supply and demand, so lets hope the women don't get so pre-occupied with their downtime that they dont wish to co- operate on the same scale in the future.
My great gran worked in a biscuit factory during the war, and my great gramps dealt in the Beckton Gas works, before supplying war ammo to Cornish towns and helping with army airfield defences. That last one being, something of a last defence resort that I would probably wish to engage in over time, should there be a growing steadfast demand.
