Re: Hydro Is Best
I've visited Dinorwig in Wales, which is a similar hydro-electric plant, but I didn't know there was one in the Highlands too.

Re: Hydro Is Best
Our masters have kept quiet about it. They are desperate for us to shell out huge sums of money for the Hinckley Point Scam ! They are desperate to help out Peking in the construction of the "Chinese Road to Capitalism".
Mind you there is a programme on BBC Radio 4 today.

Re: Hydro Is Best
Ben Cruachan and Dinorwig are only devices for storing power, not making it. They use energy from the grid to pump water upwards during the night, then release it to create hydro power to deal with periods of high demand. They were originally built to augment coal fired and nuclear power stations.
