DirtySanchez Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) It'll go the same way as wind farms, government all for it for a bit then make it nigh on impossible to get permission See solar panels before the wind farms Edited October 5, 2018 by DirtySanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were up there because Horwich Civils , AE Yates, were involved with a frack somewhere. AEY are no longer involved with it now. More to do with completing their bit rather than pressure from the Swampys. I miss them smelly bastards; i loved their confrontational attitude when they confronted me.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 5, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 Fuck off. I was pro nuclear until the costs rose 5 fold. Then delayed 3 fold. Nuclear means absolute shite value all of a sudden. Not to mention we can't even build our own plants. We need a stable and reliable energy source whilst we sort out renewables but they are catching up fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Nuclear nuclear is fine We still need gas short / medium term though and it’s under our feet, get it out and stop worrying about a bit of extra traffic on the bypas ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted October 5, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 Can see both sides of the argument. 50/50 for me. Doubt they'd put up with it in more affluent areas of the country, and it's utter bollocks that the locals are going to get anything out of it, but we're all happy enough to use fossil fuel energy as though there's an infinite source.

Members bolty58 Posted October 6, 2018 Members Share Posted October 6, 2018 Sense at last. Our own energy source on tap. A nice stop gap until we are 100% nuclear and have the capability to dump the waste on the moon (it glows in the dark anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 6, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2018 Trouble with nuclear is the associated costs. Maybe cheap to produce power, but the disposal and perhaps more importantly the decommissioning costs just seem to rise astronomically. Also not sure where the ore comes from- can we rely on a secure supply? Perhaps we could compost convicted terrorists and use the methane?
