I seem to be annoyed at certain things. My recent notes about apples from China, is an example. Because it seem ridiculous that we - with a climate that is great for growing apples - should expend so much money and energy on importing them. I felt - and still feel - that this is particularly true when it is for something like apple juice. This seems to be an ideal way of (a) smoothing out demand - we do not have to eat a massive supply of apples during late autumn, but could use our harvest and keep it throughout the year, and (b) apple juice is an ideal way of using those mis-shaped and damaged fruit that we seem so reluctant to buy in the supermarket.
Anyway, I was similarly annoyed when I read that planning permission has just been granted to build the UK's first Palm Oil fired power plant.
