Image needs replacement

Hello all...

An image used in the article, specifically Image:Dynorwic.JPG, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

We can see if anyone else has taken a photo and uploaded it to Flickr under a suitably free license, with {{Flickr free}}:

Search Flickr for images with the keywords: Dinorwig under these licenses: cc-by or cc-by-sa

That finds some exterior shots of the "Electric Mountain" area of old slate quarries. One photo caption mentions that photography isn't allowed within the Dinorwig plant, most of which is underground. --Teratornis (talk) 17:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

food for thought - if these pump storage facilites were intended to manage the "nuclear generation" scenario, does that mean that they need to be reinstated, i.e. the exmoor scheme, in view of the current enthusiasm for more nuclear power stations? IMHO it makes a nonsense of the claims that we acan't have wind because of its intermittency - nuclear's "always on" creates just as many challenges Lowattboy (talk) 12:15, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
