This is completely insane and we want to build more of the things? I wonder how long it takes to decommission a wind turbine? Not 150 years I'm betting. Full article: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Grauniad article from 7/10/25:
Sellafield, Europe’s largest nuclear site, looms large in Whitehaven at the centre of Britain’s “nuclear coast”. While it has not generated energy since 2003, decommissioning is expected to take until at least 2125. Between Sellafield Ltd and its wider supply chain, the site employs about 60,000 workers, more than 80% from Cumbria.
