More doom and gloom

But you are needing to consider the competency levels of the UK to create any national infrastructure. We 'invented' the railways, can't build one now, we created Calderhall from scratch, struggling like the railways to build one (worldwide average for a nuclear plant is about 18 years from concept to production, something like that).

 

Nothing much wrong with nuclear, but we have to build them and get them accepted by the locals where we site them

Well BAE & Rolls Royce don't seem to have any problems making them at barrow with the latest design 440MW for the submarines.

the only problem with nuclear is disposing of the waste.

There is no problem reprocessing it, both the UK and France have been doing it for decades.

 

Only exception being the USA, who just decide to stockpile it and do nothing.

I think you'll find that's just filtered liquid from dirty 30 that they're pumping out and removing all legacy radioactive solids.

 

Anything radioactive is removed, but diluted with sea water as the PH is from memory 11.

 

Weirdly at PH 11 things float differently as the buoyancy changes.

 

It's not actual waste.

Hydro is being removed where possible in Scandinavia as the dams collapse whole eco systems… salmon and eels to name a few are on the verge of extinction… this is what really pisses me off with the whole green agenda, mining for the components for battery’s , dams and big stupid wind turbines … hardly green if you take in to consideration the damage they do… we are facing mass extinctions to the last remaining ecosystems and its being driven by this ridiculous agenda. 

I have said it for many years now , that man will **************** this planet all together, and its getting nearer every day,,,,

After centuries of destruction from fossil fuels, rampant industrialisation and unchecked capitalism, you choose to place the blame for our ultimate extinction on the people trying to put a band aid on the arterial bleed?

 

What kind of mental gymnastics is this?!
