I can see why, that is one narrow transit into that port. Shock trials weren't even that hairy.

The Nats are very anti nuke - regardless of whether it be nuclear weapons or nuclear power.

That's one of the things that has been bugging me about the SNP - they want us to live in some Utopian paradise where our electric cars are run by what we can produce from endless wind-farms (that are known to blow up when it gets too windy,) or wave power or what have you, yet the corner stone of their future economic policy seems to be 'as much north sea oil as we can drag from the seabed'. Is it just be or is there a basic dichotomy between those two points?
