I'd be fine with tidal/wind stuff in Blackpool hell, I can see a wind farm in the middle of the sea just off the coast, and I can see Heysham and its Nuclear power station on a good day, I have no problem with either of these. I just don't want some ****ty oil drilling to **** up the towns ecosystem for good. It's high time we stopped bleeding the earth for every last drop and started looking for real alternatives.
