As we discussed in another article, the demographics would bear that out. I’d like to think a few old’uns would be riled enough to get on board too, mind.

In Young?

But as you’ve suggested elsewhere, the electricity generation may be a front for something else.

The wage bill would be 560 jobs at 25k a year is £14m a year. Capital cost alone is £1.6bn and if we assume a 30 year life span that’s results in an amortised amount of £53m a year. These would be direct annual costs of £67m even before moving to site.

If we assume a gross margin between input fuel consumed to energy sold of 50%, as with the existing super efficient gas turbine power stations, you’d need an annual turnover of £134m just to recover initial capital cost and employee payroll.

To put it in context of the Wylfa strike price of £75 per Mwh, that’s an annual push to grid of 2Twh just to cover the wage bill and the up-front costs. The whole annual energy consumption of the UK is only £2.2Twh. So it’s pure fantasy.

I can understand why dreamers or liars come out with figures like that, and I can understand why politicians and media pretend to believe it, and capitalise on it. But after five years of nothing happening surely somebody should be asking what the fuck has gone wrong.

Yet another bundle of big arbitrary numbers quoted by chancers to keep a bunch of fantasists happy.

When I get a chance I shall look into this a bit more. But you have to wonder why politicians and media haven’t been asking about the promised jobs (560) and investment (£1.6bn).

They are not all Cypriot. The question arises as to who owns the jetty and land now?

A Jordanian and there’s also an American called Mohamed who, although is resident in Cyprus, has a correspondence address in the Modga building in Beirut. Here’s a view from the balcony.

Makes you wonder what they really have planned to bring into Milford Haven.

The Prigmores of Ammanford had a pilot biomass plant in Capital Valley Eco Park near Tredegar. It wasn’t a success. As far as I know the patent applications were neither challenged nor proven.

Current thinking is that biofuels are just a method of exporting deforestation and are unlikely to succeed regardless of the veracity of cool conversion technology, then cracking isododicane ISO-C11H23-CH3.

Of course, the quay (geddit) to the site at Blackbridge on the Haven is it’s strategic importance being the escape route for nukes from Faslane if Scotland gains independence. Which is probably why obscure Cypriots are land banking it.

However, I do know a septic tanker driver from the Rhydamman way called Wyn. They call him Wynnie the Pooh after he retired as Evans the Spy. There’s lots of gas to be made in the alternative method of bacterial conversion, but my money is on the nukes arriving in Wales.
