By French rivers they build Nuclear power stations - able to blend in the landscape (!) and so much more efficient than this countryside ruining wind rubbish. A dozen big Nuclear and we would be set up with energy to spare and sell - just like the French. On the blending we once camped next to a nuclear one in France - which was so sheltered by trees and setting that we didn't realise it was there until a tannoy message floated on the wind and we asked a local what that place was. He was very happy with it being there - it brought jobs and tourists for the fishing in the warm outlet waters was, he said magnificent.

I reckon BW will have a great deal more difficulty in dealing with its neighbours than its customers [especially if they start in the locality pictured in the BBC's report - the George at Bathampton; on the edge of a World Heritage City!].
