For the time being, it's the only way to go.

Oil, gas and coal are expensive, dirty and mostly owned by potentially troublesome foreigners.

And anyone who thinks windmills are going to be any use is just dreaming, at least until the technology catches up. Wave power might work in the long run, but it's a long way from being economically viable.

This is only the government confirming no change of plan. We live 3 miles from Oldbury, and I've been to 3 public consultation exercises over the past 2 years. A planning application is still a couple of years away.

Is that Oldbury in the Black Country (near Birmingham) ?

No - it's Oldbury on Severn - much more civilised!
