Why Britain should build a new island in the North Sea

Why Britain should build a new island in the North Sea

All hail the Duke of Dogger Bank!
Time: 33:13
In this episode, we are visited in our thatched space station by a wunderkind economist who wants to turn a portion of the North Sea into a Wales-sized island. Duncan McClements is that economist, and you can find his blog, co-authored with Jason Hausenloy, below.

Description

Britain has lost its optimism. We are becoming less well-off, less influential, and less able to build even the most basic quantities of housing and infrastructure.
But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if the future were something that we could look forward to? Somewhere that Britons could feel at home in?
This is not an impossible dream. From the thatched space station that is home to their studio, Tom Ough and Calum Drysdale present Anglofuturism.
In each episode, the hosts beam up a guest with an ambitious but achievable idea that could help pull Britain from her morass. If enacted together, these ideas will set Britain back on her way to becoming the greatest country in the galaxy.
Cheap, beautiful housing... HS2, 3, 4, 5 and onward to HS99+... The first lunar Wetherspoons... Old maids bicycling to church through the mists of a newly-terraformed Mars... Such is the world we should be striving to build, on our green and pleasant land and beyond.
This podcast wil self-destruct when the UK has the highest GDP-per-capita in the Milky Way.
