OK,
Won't create a huge amount of jobs, but it will create some...
The roads aren't up to the job, improving them would have to be part of the deal...
I guess a lot of it will have to come in by sea, so new infrastructure will be required there...
Enviromental impact I think will me minimal, just really only in the immediate area, but that is the price of progress...
As for "hostile foreign elements" targeting the area, we had Dounreay for years without coming under attack...

That letter just strikes me as MIMBYism...

I think you'll find at the end of the day it will be down to cost that we see the idea being abandoned.
