That's actually quite a commonly-used tactic by people (including me) when 
putting up an aerial or large array - Hang the co-ax down and terminate it 
with end-caps... Once, we did it without installing the co-ax.  It's amazing 
what people will invent to make you take them down.

Yes, but for how long ?  Snowballs may take time to melt, but melt they do.  
In all seriousness - I would be keen to install solar panels onto our roof 
(it's south-facing), and last night on the news there was an item about 
"Sizewell C" - a potential new power plant on the Suffolk coast.  They 
showed the extensive array of wind turbines - some inland, some out at sea - 
and, to be honest, I quite like the idea of the wind farms.

But hey, let's build nuclear power plants across the land like hotels on a 
Monopoly board... Survival first, scenery later ;-)
