DRILLING IN BRISTOL CHANNEL

Most of us who live on the coast within the Vale of Glamorgan could not fail but notice the drilling rig being towed up and down the Bristol Channel to different locations bu two attending support vessels.

What are they doing? Seemd to be shrouded in mistery. Well let me enlighten you. They are taking samples of the bedrock of the sea bed.

Purpose? Obvious they are identifying locations for the sighting of those monstrous wind turbines for generating electricity.

That good isn't it? Well all depends on your point of view. The simplistic argument is that we are saving the planet.

However no one has yet qulified who the 'we' are and also that these eyesores are gigantic compared to those sighted at the development of the turbines.

Also let us remember that the exercise may have less to do with Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England
