2015-03-24 (Day 083) Grangemouth By Night

So what is it that makes our world different from that of the Middle Ages? Why do we not live as they did in Game Of Thrones?

The answer, I think, is easy access to energy. Energy that can is then applied to move us, to heat us, to help us calculate or communicate.

One source of that energy is of course oil, and the stuff that comes out of the ground has to be refined before we can use it. And Grangemouth is one of those places where that work is done. And it looks pretty spectacular at night time!

(Of course somebody is probably going to tell me that this is the petrochemical plant. Oh well, plastics are cool too!
