add to that the cost of clearing up the mess made if/when a terrorist flys an aircraft into one of these sites or drives a petrol tanker into one or walks into one and sets of a semtex device etc. |
I love the bit where it says 56billion could build enough wind turbines to provide 20% of the UK's power needs.
Like them or not Nuclear power is here to stay, its efficient, yes its expensive to maintain but so are other forms of electricity generating.
Wind turbines arent good enough to provide our power needs, neother are tidal generators or hydro electric. Greenpeace should remember this, also the fact that people dont want huge wind turbines on every piece of free space in the countryside.
