Whenever I drive down to the South West of England, I pass the Great Wall of Dorset, a seemingly never ending brick wall broken only occasionally by imposing gateways topped with giant animal statues.
This was without question my favourite article of yours yet Tom. Kudos!! I love the idea of representing electrical energy in terms of human labour, that's powerful. Your question at the end asking for examples of businesses challenging the need for more power over nature... Not a business but made me thinking of the rewilding movement and of more modern approaches to flood defences. Rather than forcing a human centric view of how these eco-systems should operate, they are all about letting nature do it's thing, because that's far more powerful.

Thanks so much Hannah. Yeah absolutely right, there is so much to be said for just not trying to control nature and letting it find its own balance.
