"This is because the two reservoirs are linked by one of Britain's biggest
post-war industrial projects: the Dinorwig pumped storage power station,
hidden within this mountain. It is effectively a monster battery: power is
stored by pumping water from Llyn Peris to Marchlyn Mawr at night, then
generated by letting it flow back down at times of peak demand"

You do realise of course that that project was initiated by Lefty**** Socialists ?


It was a license to print money. Which of course is why it was snapped
up by Americans when it was flogged off.
