As someone observed they are fine at a distance. There is some noise given off up close. I am not a nuclear fan but it may be the only option?

I met with National Grid who are analysing the supply from Heysham and Sellafield. The latter going from 200 megawatt with a new reactor to 3.6 gigawatt. A whole new electricity backbone will have to be put in place.

At the moment we have a large DC connection with France, mostly nuclear and Holland I think to keep the lights on in an emergency or maintain flows.

Long term energy security should come from the Mediterranean (no Libya quips) and the sun. I cannot see why large 'sun farms' cannot be built in Spain and Morocco?

Interesting post about the transfer of matter/energy.
