| | | Potential locations for new UK nuclear power stations
With the energy efficiency and pollution increasingly high on the political agenda, the government has recently identified 10 suitable sites for future nuclear power plants as part of a plan to revamp the nuclear-power UK’s ageing energy infrastructure. What are your thoughts on how this will affect us? Interactive: Potential locations for new UK nuclear power stations | Environment | guardian.co.uk |

Not bothered, as long as they put them all North of Luton!

they are all still very close to the sea and sea level, with it rising and stronger storms would it not make a little bit more sense for the sites that have not had power plants in the past to have been picked a bit further in land? |

Some underground facility fed with piped in water and thick overhead rock. |

[warning:contains some black humour!]
I live about 15 miles ESE of Hinkley Point and they're talking about steamrollering a new plant through despite any local objections. Being no fan of nuclear power, I don't like the idea. I was in mid-Norway when Chernobyl went up and the area I was in received some fallout just after I left.
The only positive thing about Hinkley Point is this: if you walk towards Glastonbury Tor there'sa bench you can sit on, and from here you can see the power station framed perfectly by the top of the church tower. If it turns into a fireball, from there it'll look just like that 'Eye of Sauron' in the Lord of the Rings film  |
