Not to mention the amazing "clean beach"
Which has actually won awards, because unlike the locals the people who inspect the area don't know that if you swim out to the sandbank (about 200m out to sea) and look back at the coast/harbour, you can watch the barely treated sewage being pumped into the sea. X(

And having a brewery in a shithole town doesn't count for much. You end up with our 80% highschool dropouts feeling that they're "cool" because they can work in a "place that makes booze, innit."

EDIT: Sizewell send out people to talk to us from when we're in primary school onwards, telling us how wonderful nuclear power is and how safe the whole thing is.

It is safe
Chernobyl blew up because of people screwing with it, was a steam explosion rather than a nuclear explosion and was only that serious because, thanks to the poverty brought on by communism, they couldn't afford / didn't want the expense of a proper containment dome.

People live next to reactors on ships, subs, in Hartlepool- all over and don't have any greater health problems than those who live in comparable non-nuclear-proximate surroundings. I'm assured that Hartlepool's inhabitants were barely human even before the nuclear plant got there.

Also, think about this- if we'd gone Nuclear and not had the damned greenies moaning about it then we'd have saved about 50 years worth of carbon emissions and made Uranium-producing countries (Canada, Australia, bits of Africa, etc) richer rather than oil-producing ones (who frequently don't like us).
Apologies for length, it's a favourite topic of mine...
