Good, Black Law demonstrates how to have a large wind farm with
few objections of any sort.

Not if one reads the various articles.

Feel free to detail the various articles about objections to Black
Law, which you claim exist.

Anyway 81% of the public are in favour of wind farms

Hardly an impartial source, is it?

The DTI, a well known part of the nuclear lobby?

Not tomorrow. However, over the next decade or two it will go the
same way as wind has gone. The progress of onshore wind is shown in
http://www.bwea.com/media/news/060327.html and many other reports.

Not an impartial source.

Are you claiming that they have lied about the history of wind
generated electricity?

Or perhaps you are claiming that their report on future
possibilities is wrong? If so, your cl.aims need to be rather more
than just a four word assertion.

I was somewhat amused to read that one of the objections to nuclear
generation in the SDC paper was the undermining of energy efficiency.

Your amusement does not undermine their point, which is well made
and accurate.

There's nothing wrong with sensibly applied energy efficiency without
compulsion, but that is a very weak argument in comparison to some of the
others in terms of being a justification for not using nuclear generation.

There are indeed plenty of other arguments to be made and which they
make. Attempting to salami slice arguments and so pick them off one
by one is a well known tactic, but not one that will succeed here.
