After noticing that more and more of our power stations are being knocked down, I wondered if this would be a good focus point for our small 10 minute documentary. Because, we will not be supplying our own power due to the power stations being decommissioned and demolished, we are having to find power from various other sources including borrowing from other countries.
I believe that this idea could be interesting to cover because it poses the question of where the power will be coming from in the future and how both the current and future generations feel about it.
To my knowledge, there were many protests against power stations such as Kings North in Hoo, Rochester. I believe this would be a good opportunity to interview both sides of an opinion. We could try to interview a member of the protest to see how they feel now that their goal so many years ago has come in fruition. similarly, we can try to talk to locals, both of whom might be opposed to the shutting down of the power station and also who might be happy about it.
The demolishment of these power stations also means loss of jobs and we might even be able to try and alk to people who have been effected by this.
However, I'm not sure if this would be suitable for the theme of 'Teen Spirit' which we have been assigned despite its association with a younger generation's future. I also don't think that it is the type of 'edgy' story that BBC3 would be looking for.
