Rather sad

I remember the hopes of electricity too cheap to meter and some years ago visited Trawsfynydd nuclear power station which had closed but in those days you could just rock up and get taken on a tour of the control buildings. It was a sad place, the graveyard of dreams. Nuclear power seemed to offer so much, then it ended up for us as part of a handful of tourists looking round the bones of a power station. Those lagoons held radioactive waste, our guide said. They didn't always put the covers on. When it rained, they filled up and leaked into the lake. There was a bit of a fuss about it...
