Re: Wind farms are shite - more evidence

I think that's a crap article, part of the ongoing campaign to rehabilitate nuclear energy in public consciousness.

As it happens I agree with you that reducing consumption is the best way to tackle climate change. But not many of us can live without electricity altogether. And we have to replace our ageing fleet of conventional power stations. Emissions aside, coal, oil & gas are finite resources - moreso than land - so that leaves you with nuclear, which contaminates the land for thousands of years & is f'king dangerous. Maybe you place such faith in science, safety procedures & national security that you disagree...

We live in a post-industrial landscape - there's very little that's actually "natural". Windfarms are temporary structures (easily removed on the day they invent cold fusion) and quiet & safe. The real problem with them is intermittancy - which is why they can only be part of the fuel mx, never all of it. But they are a valuable part.
