That's quite poetic Resonox, I'm impressed. Were you referring to this bit posted by me ..

I'm the last to want to see beautiful wild places despoiled by wind turbines or solar panels for that matter but they are a fact of life, in my view less damaging than electricity pylons marching across the landscape.

I was talking about aesthetics rather than the technicalities of getting the power produced into the National Grid. That aside, with what is happening in Japan at present, the argument against nuclear energy is ever stronger; wind farms, hydro-electric schemes, solar panels, tide/wave schemes are the only viable alternative for the production of energy in the future. I guess we are going to have to work with Nature rather than against it.
