[BNM] [OT] Brighton's nuclear power station?

[Guy Tierney]

I say bring it on - they are going to go somewhere whether we like it or
not. The wheels are set in motion for Nuke to be the future (well for 50-100
years anyway) so at least its cleaner than a coal station in your back yard.

That's progress!
