We desperately need more electricity generating capability, and yet Hinkley Point now looks as if it will never get built. Or if it will be built, it may be too late to provide the power we need in the near future. What shortsightedness this is. We can't continue to bury our heads in the sand here. One day, in the near future we face the real possibility of coming home and not being able to turn a light on.

All these Immigrants we're going to take in, could they not earn their keep by peddaling some electricity producing device until such times as the National Production catches up?

the French have had 9 candidates for decommissioning and kept 4 going, so 5 plants that have had to be disassembled and made safe......

Never mind, we are going to bring in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, that should help - not.

Our infrastructure is on the brink as I have said many times on here.

Electrical power generation issues, yet they still push for electrically powered cars.

It was idiotic to pause our nuclear power generation programme. It remains a vital medium term power supply. But we still need science to come up with renewable alternatives. What we have now can add to the mix, but has issues that suggest they could not take over as the main reliable power source.
