In Anglesey for a week with Sharon. Yesterday was a great day - sunny but a stiff sea breeze as we walked around the coves and inlets of Trearddur Bay. Lovely. Drove back round the top of the island and stopped for a stroll in Cemaes Bay which got me thinking about the two very contrasting forms of electricity generation which impose upon the landscape of the north of the island. There is the slab of the Wylfa nuclear power ststion and inland from there is the growing plague of the wind farm. Aside from their vastly different generating capacities I would venture the poilitically incorrect view that the power station is actually less intrusive on the landscape than the wind farm, The power station is confined in its scope, even rather magnificent in a brutalist way. The wind farm is a wider and less efficient blot.
