*Grin* Well, I don't know about that - most of the opposition to the Barrage that I saw stemmed from the worry about the resulting destruction of the habitat of some pretty rare wading birds...
Yeah, they could probably have got away with it because there are other areas of the country where the same environment could have been recreated, and that's what you have to be able to provide if you're going to destroy a habitat, but there was a feeling that it was messing with some pretty delicate balances in the general area.
Then again, there's a balance to be found here. If we really cared more about the planet than we do about ourselves then the best thing we could do is just drop down dead, every one of us.
Well, exactly, so our choices are embrace nuclear power, destroy the natural habitat of increasingly rare species, or ruin our air with the last of our dwindling fossil fuels. Not much choice at all, really.
