The individual countries may well be virtuous, but once they get together in the EU it all goes downhill into a mess of deals, backbiting, lies and pork barrel politics.

I'm not saying the corruption enriches the individual, but the gap between how its supposed to work and what actually happens could swallow the grand canyon. If you want to see the EU in miniature, watch the eurovision song contest.

The more power and money that is kept away from that lot, the more progress will be achieved.

Dear garyp,

The Eurovision metaphor is a very fortunate one, thank you, I wouldn’t remember a better one myself.

Here’s the clip from last year’s winners.

As you can see these folks come from Scandinavia, exactly where the Grid integration is having great results, allowing to take full advantage of the wind farms in Denmark and Germany.

Things do change, that’s I’m here wasting my time writing this stuff, instead of running to the hills.

Best.
