Unbelievable. The U.K. has been invaded by the greenies, eco terrorists, socialists, facists like no other country on earth. (OK , except for Denmark, Germany and Spain) But, like Spain, it is waking up to the reality that renewables will not serve a modern society. Today an unexpected announcement from a government that takes enormous pride in its green Kool-Aid wine cellar.

Hail it they might, but the reality is that this deal has come not a moment too soon —and it is no thanks to our leaders, who have spent half a century squandering Britain’s nuclear pre-eminence, taking a ludicrously short-term view and chasing windmills towards a renewable future that was no more than fantasy.
An article well worth the time to read. I find this excerpt somewhat familiar:
An even more serious consequence was the decimation of decades worth of expertise – Britain’s nuclear brain drain in the 1990s was a national tragedy – and the replacement of serious energy policy with mickey-mouse schemes to bribe locals to accept shale gas rigs with promises of free badminton courts and community centres, and an attachment to offshore windfarms that beggars belief.
Maybe add Santa Claus parades to that list as well. LOLOL
