WITHIN this last week I've noticed a report on Japanese radiation leaks which is still pouring into the sea off Japan. Fish are found to be contaminated some 500 miles out to sea.

We have some 300 radio-active dumps in this country from Japan and France which will remain active for hundreds of years. What a heritage to hand to our children and grandchildren?

Is it so difficult a choice to make: wind power without pollution? The same with water power. We have the biggest waste of tidal power in the shoots off Chaston Rock ever seen, according to a scientific survey carried out in 1936.

It seems to me we're more interested in horse shoe bats -- if we carry on as we are there will be no bats to protect. I wonder when we have our tea and toast if we think where the power is coming from?

Could we say: 'There is none so blind as those who do not wish to see'. I also know where the wind turbine is situated is extremely generous to our community. Rather than be persecuted they should be awarded some form of high medal.

I am a Forester born and bred, and a true free- miner, and I am extremely proud to be a close friend of the Cook family, and to the do-gooders – or should I say the do-harmers – 'forgive them Lord for they do not know what they do or say'. I would also add, one should note the roads leading into the Forest also lead out.
