You have it backwards, they won’t ticket you for the plate but they will use it as justification to pull you over in the first place and try to find some other reason once you’re stopped (mainly to check for drinking or drugs)

I used to work for a local PD and that’s what they did all the time to justify pulling over someone who “looks suspicious”

Everyone hates on it but tinder is great for making friends too, you get out of it what you put into it. Also second for Club Café, they do different theme nights and usually bring in a range of different crowds

Yes, I’m fully aware of all the complexities regarding planning and licensing. My point was that it doesn’t take 20 years to build. And it definitely doesn’t mean we should rule it out as a viable option. These things can be fast tracked if the government changed regulations to incentivize faster construction. I’m not saying nuclear is the perfect solution but it’s a hell of a lot better than continuing to dump cash into new fossil fuel plants

And we could easily fund those new plants with just a portion of the amount of capital going into new LNG projects. If we wait for utility companies to do the right thing then it will never happen. LNG delivers their shareholders profit much faster, hence the heavy investment
