it's not like we aren't already dumping massive amounts of rubbish in landfill sites already, rubbish which isn't toxic but does harm the environment a whole lot more.
like i said, the only thing stopping us developing plants all over our little island is the high cost involved in building them, and maintaning them. but it's an investment worth making. reduction in C02 emissions, we will be able to rely on ourselves for our energy needs, not one or two arabs who control all the oil (which, by the way, appears to be increasing in price and running out fast).
but for some reason, environmentalists still can not see this. renewables are nowhere near good enough for what we need! it's unrealistic to believe you can run a prosperous, developed country of 65 million on wind power.
