Hmmm! Why is it outrageous Salt Pepper? If the whole of Scotland is out of bounds for nuclear power then why should the Lakes be subject to an excessive share of nuclear power? BTW where are you from? They are asking for views from people and organisations from the areas around the site they are planning. There are many other areas that have been ruled out thanks to the democratic process that was allowed by devolution. All I am saying is that when the legitimate powers that be in one devolved regions say no to nuclear power despite them having some sites that would be ideally suited to nuclear power it is then incumbent on other regions to take up that slack. Why is that fair and right? Shouldn't issues affecting Britain and the world as a whole be resolved by the whole of the union? I am just bitter as England and in particular my little part of the world is going to end up with some of the sites that should have been in Scotland or Wales or wherever. I for one oppose having an extra two sites in Cumbria. If they can't fit into the Sellafield site and adjacent area then move it to Dounray or some other place where there is space for it.
Just in case you wondered the northwest is likely to end up with those two sites in Cumbria and one just down the coast at Heysham I think. Isn't that a bit unfair when other areas are not taking their fair share of the nuclear power sites.
By the way, welcome to the site. We are always welcoming to people with strong views on issues but usually end up disappearing once that issue has been discussed to death on the site. Single issue posters.
