On transmission costs, would one of the logical consequences be, if such costs are large in economic and social terms, we should locate industries near generating stations? I do not recall any case where that has happened going right back to the plant at Ardnacrusha. One of the ways to cut transmission costs would be to have the generation and the end user located side by side or within a couple of miles of each other.
