But your petrol car is an antiquate piece of junk that pollutes and
wastes
like mad.

And I suppose the UK powerstations are perfectly harmless?


They are not cars. They pollute less than vehicles and don't pollute in
front of people's lungs ruining them

Really? The coal powered powerstation at Ferybridge is right on the
edge of the town and within a mile of 3 towns.


Long chimneys and hot exhaust effluent meant the pollution used to,
(before desulphurisation) come to earth as acid rain in Norway.

And they didn't like it up 'em.
