Personally think we should have invested in nuclear years ago, and now be supplementing it with wind and tidal. Agree. But environmental groups like Friends of the Earth and Green Peace, as well as the Green party, took an ideological opposition to nuclear which wasn't based on any rational or evidence-based assessment. Which is why I can never support these groups, they have created a feelingof hysteria regarding nuclear which has ultimately been disastrous for climate change. See also Germany, who took a completely irrational decision to eliminate nuclear power after Fukishima. Now dependent on Russian gas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 So before we had an energy crisis, fracking was deemed 'took risky to explore' by the sitting Conservatives but now it's OK? They may as well come out and say we give more of a fuck about filling the bonus packages of the energy providers executives than we do the safety of the working people in areas where shale gas is prevalent. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they normally do, just continue. If they normally don't (and I can't recall them ever doing it), don't. Pretty simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
