Nuclear as a medium term strategy until renewables are ready to take over would be my preferred route but now the timing is such where it’s less clear cut as to whether or not it’s worth building new reactors to then decommission them not long after.

I had the radio on in the car the other day and some ex Tory now working for the Adam Smith Institute was lamenting that the UK had more nuclear generating power in the 60s than Europe combined.

It's funny that he couldn't seem to draw the obviously conclusion as to why events in the 80s that he and his right wing think tank supported might have affected that.

Pretty startling to think how much better things could have gone for the country had we done that in the 60s.
