Mind you, BG also bill me for the electricity I use. I don't pretend to understand this stuff, but at my time of life I really don't care as long as the lights switch on and off and the TV works. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Energy security requires elites to make short term expensive but logically long term sensible decisions. In democracies...the incentive is to kick the can down the road. As usual it appears that the country was and generally still is ill served. Modern nuclear was a no brainer. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Sep 2021 1.46pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

It's the vulnerable who really suffer. Whether it's housing or energy prices those with more money will get through. It's like inflation....it doesn't really affect those with money, but for the poor it's effectively a direct tax. Governments don't use joined up thinking, they are a collection of 'here today, gone tomorrow' careerists who are mostly figureheads for 'not fit for purpose' departments.....full of public school mediocracy.

"Most of the UK's electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, mainly natural gas (42% in 2016) and coal (9% in 2016). A very small amount is produced from other fuels (3.1% in 2016)." Two completely different long term energy strategies and France exports a lot of it's Nuclear produced electricity production to the UK. Pro China, EU & Palestine

However, the idea that the conservatives are something akin to evil is ridiculous. The sheer size of the welfare state attests to that.....You came back here, when you profess such dislike of the country. I doubt it was for jars of marmite. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?
