I was taken with his choice of words: "we believe that nuclear power can
really mushroom".

;-)

And I wonder how many would want one ITBY, even compared with a solar
farm, wind turbine(s) or a biofuel / gas powered station?


Anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together.


Oh dear, the literal left brainer has been whooshed again. ;-(

Absolutely. We've got ugly as **** windmillsand solar farms and a
nuclear power station all within 50 miles and the only one I'd live near
is Sizewell B.


Of course you would.

Quiet, invisible except from the beach, and safer than
living near a wind turbine


Safer than living as near a nuke?


Solar farm - doesn't work much in winter, or at night all year round.


But could with additional storage and doesn't melt down and pollute
the surrounding environment for thousands of years:

Wind turbine - ****ing noisy if you're near it, doesn't produce much and often
none at all.


See above re storage and don't melt down and pollute the surrounding
environment for thousands of years:

Others - no gas to this village.


Ah, an ideal place to put a nuke then, especially for everyone else.
