"We have got time to get building nuclear power stations, just about."

They are not safe, plain and simple. Their waste lingers for thousands of years and we still haven't found a secure way of storing it anyway (dumping at sea?). As for being ugly, Morecombe Bay has been blighted by Heysham for decades and Didcot is an eyesore.

Renewables are the only answer, and although the wind drops occasionally, it always blows. Like the song says, God himself couldn't stop the northerlies from blowing.

Nope, wind is certainly the way forward, from ships with sails making a comeback to onshore/offshore turbines that will, if the technology gets a chance to develop under this government of loons.
