BionicRusty – While the Rest of the World was investing in safe alternatives to nuclear energy (Thorium ‘fail safe’ reactors being favourite, but we still have a way to go with that) Britain boldly moved forward with – more nuclear power stations. Except we can’t afford to build them any more, so we asked China, Japan and France to invest, with the ‘Deals’ we offered put most of the risk on their shoulders. Now that our current Government (imho elected on a Manifesto of Lies) has shown itself to be totally untrustworthy as well as incompetent, international Investors are pulling out. The on-going ‘issues’ we have with Huawei are also seriously affecting China’s willingness to invest in Britain.
Brydo – The problem with ‘storing energy for when it’s needed’ is that batteries are actually pretty bad at holding onto energy for any length of time.
