That's not a bad point Arthur. The nuclear power industry employs hundreds at each station and they in turn support a lot of local industries with their spending. Dungeness is a bit of a bleak outpost with no real local industry. A wind-farm only supports a few dozen engineers and they may well not be local anyway. To make matters worse, we have no facility for building the windmills in the UK so they are all brought in from places like Germany and/or Scandinavian countries. I suppose it's a lose-lose situation for the likes of the Dungeness employees.
