Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

The proposed 138km connection, from Pegwell Bay in Kent to a point on the Suffolk coast between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, will run mostly offshore.
Around 122km of the cables will be located under the sea with underground cables then linking to converter stations so electricity can be transported to where it is needed in East Anglia, Kent, and the rest of the country.
so is this about making more effective use of what comes in from France? (or exporting N Sea wind generation via the interconnectors?) Maybe both...
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!
