Milford Haven is setting up great storage tanks in their estuary to receive liquid gas from somewhere, which then requires a great pipeline across Wales, across the Brecon Beacon to Gloucester I think.

Hi Moss, Its a difficult one, green renewable energy starts to look like another destroyer of the natural world...
Agree with all your comments about the estuary, which is (mostly) lovely. The pipeline thing is likely to be horrible - a work colleague lives in a small village near the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border, on the line of the pipeline - apparently the countryside near the village is going to be the home for a "pressure reduction plant" as apparently when the gas is piped in it is at too high a pressure, which needs to be reduced. This will entail chimneys and so on being erected in the (currently) rural countryside. At the risk of nimby-ism, it does seem that a few more acres of countryside always have to be sacrificed for each new energy idea.
It's all very depressing to me, but then I use gas and electric too.
