Look at the map in the link I posted. They're all over the place.

although, to be fair, from that map it could be going to be anwhere from Lewes to Bognor.

I find it amazing how many people in the public eye (including Bush) cant pronounce the word nuclear.

All I keep hearing is nucular.

How can you trust anyone that cant even get the name right.

I wonder why the report sees devolution as a barrier to building one in Wales or Scotland.

the problem is with wind turbines is that councils due to the NIMBY factor will never allow them to be built.

The perfect site for a wind farm is above Fox Way, in Mile Oak. there is a huge field on top of the hill and even on a calm day, the wind howls across Fox Way ) or Windy Heights as it is known locally. However, the noise from these things makes it impossible to build near housing developments.

They are not noisy. We had friends who lived at Penistone who had 12 at the end of their garden. You couldn't hear anything worse than a swish swish. That was only when there was a really strong wind. When it was only breezy, they were silent.

No doubt someone will bang on about the dangers of nuclear power. It's a bit late now when there are already 5 nuclear power stations within an approximate 100 mile radius of Brighton. (used to be 6 but Winfrith shut down).

i bet that doesnt count the half dozen or so along the French coast.

not against the principle of nuclear, but where would it go? maybe shoreham harbour or the old cement works i suppose?

I've always said that it would be quicker to build a Nuclear Power Station at Falmer than our football ground.

If not a football ground, then I think a Nuclear power station is ideally suited for Falmer. Afteall its contaminated anyway.

Perhaps we should have built a power station and put a football pitch inside.

We could have got all fans attending matches to wear high-vis jackets and hard hats to fool the Falmerites into thinking we were on our way to work.

We could have got away with it for years.......
