a day of sunlight

A day of sunlight Cascais has had a few good days with sunlight and no rain already, the meteorologists are worried, interviewed on TV They display concerned faces, more rain is needed. I used to live in the Algarve every year, the story was about the lack of rain "seca" The idea was to bring water from the North, channel it down to Algarve, but to do this, and since we live in a democracy every Tom, Dick, and Harry's opinions have to be heard if the day comes when tourists have to bring drums of water there might be a consensus to stop farmers in Alentejo " no digging of drains in our land." Sometimes our cherished democracy needs a little push. Our planet has been subjected to many climate changes perhaps we are in the middle of one now and have nothing much to do with oil and gas production society needs oil products like petrol, diesel, and coal the battery car is a fancy idea grasped by those who know how to turn a shilling; as for wind farms, we have to dot the whole country, to the expense of farmland, to get capacity, but still, it will not cover all the world's needs when a lake or a dam runs dry, it is caused by ~hydro electric, and not by the weather, and for those with eyes to see, spring is more lush now than it used to be
