Hi dissolving...

Yup, I agree with everything you say, especially when you say if it’s a choice, “...between Wind Turbines and Nuclear Waste buried under the Lake District, I guess I'd go for Wind Turbines. (if there was some sort of archaeological protocol in place as well I guess). Wind turbines could hopefully at least be dismantled one day, unlike nuclear waste.”

Trouble with wind turbines though is that they’re not as environmentally friendly as they might seem (at least constructing them isn’t) nor are they very reliable. What I’d really like to see is TSGs (Tidal Stream Generators) though definitely not ones like that proposed for the Severn Estuary.

Out of sight, totally predictable as to when they generate energy, and totally reliable (other than due to mechanical failure) to do it. Plus the fact that we’re surrounded by a clean resource to produce that energy – water.
