Thats all fine, but we STILL have to spend money on keeping the nuclear plants maintained and up to date UNTIL a realistic and viable alternative is found.
So in essence we are just throwing good money after bad.
Theres 3 wind turbines on the side of the A19 I pass every day, most days they are not doing a thing, despite a nice breeze. These turbines are monstrous in size and do blot the landscape.
For the amount of power they would generate I have to ask is three really enough? or did someone waste a stupid amount of cash?
