                Perhaps he donates all the profits to New Labour to help them fight a war with Iraq, Afghanistan and soon Iran.

                This way a lot more Landrovers will be needed.

                  it also helps that he got planning permission for all those barns, that wouldn't happen everywhere, there would for sure be some nimby wanting to scupper the company's chances for growth and employing more because the barns would spoil their view ala Dyson

                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
