Tabby...this is a bit of a delayed reaction...
When you say success on what terms are you rating this. Of course commercially a lot of money has been made and Cardiff as a City has thrived around this development. Unfortunatley this is at the expense of the wildlife within the estuary area. Long gone are the tidal mud flats for the feeding birds. Now to stop the pond going stagnant air is artificailly pumped into the water from massive pipes, using god knows howuch energy...just a thought. Sahme that it has come to this. Not very sustainable is it?

I've also visited Yorkshire recently and the wind turbines on the moors certainly don't add to the environment. I also saw the huge cross country gas pipeline that was being dug. Apparently it will not be detrimental to the environment but the cost was out of this world.
We just have to accept that cheap renewable energy is a necessity but I will always be concerned about safety factors on nuclear waste and accidents in power stations |
