When we look at gridwatch we see just how gas is vital as a contributor to electrical generation. Just down the road from me is the Bacton gas terminal right next to the sea. The site is just above sea level on a sandy cliff top site. The local newspaper reports the sea defences are to be strengthened by the importation onto the beach of some 1.8 million cubic metres of sand along that section of coast to protect the Bacton gas terminal and houses there.
This method was tried previously at Horsey, just down the coast. Unfortunately within 2 years the sand had been removed by natural tidal wave action.
