I admit I'm no expert, and I was basing that idea on you saying we would need about 6,000 more of them, rather than 30,000. I admit 30,000 would be a little harder to cope with, so failing that, surely there are other renewable methods we can use as well? And does anyone know for certain how many more we need?
How often are there any genuinely windless days in the Irish sea? I thought we had tons of wind out there. Additionally, I thought I read somewhere that photovoltaic cells are now effective even in cloudy situations. In time, could these not take some of the strain off coal/gas?
I think as well as being pro renewable, I am actively anti-nuclear because it seems unavoidable that once a nuke station shuts, a highly radioactive core has to remain on site for centuries. Trawsfynydd in North Wales is otherwise a beautiful part of the country, but it will be blighted for many lifetimes by the immovable remains of the old nuclear power station that was built there.
