"This is an historic moment that could deal a fatal blow to Blair's nuclear legacy. It could rule out three of the main sites identified for the next generation of UK nuclear power stations at a stroke. Scotland is uniquely placed to take advantage of wind and wave power and this decision gives it an opportunity to become a world-leader in tackling climate change without the huge costs and dangers inherent in nuclear power. The government south of the border would do well to follow this example."

Play the Wind Farm GameOffshore wind alone could supply our electricity needs three times over. Make the switch to renewable energy by installing wind turbines on the designated hotpsots. Beat the clock and watch out for the floating oil drums - good luck!
