In this work, the author examines in depth the environmental issues that have arisen since the National Grid was first planned in the 1920s. The main focus is on the impact of power stations and the main transmission lines of England and Wales since the nationalization of the industry in 1947. The British electricity generating industry has been exposed to a great deal of criticism from environmental interests. The archives of the industry and those of Government Departments have been drawn upon to provide firsthand evidence of how the issues were regarded at the time and of the way in which they were tackled by those in charge of the industry. This detailed account of how questions of visual amenity and pollution were perceived will be of interest to all who are concerned with industry and the environment.
