Re: UK power generating capacity - problem solved

.... like the banks, they're private right up until they run into a problem, then they're public again.

Also in the news today, German energy supplier, RWE, reported a loss and their shares were down alomst 10%. They own a lot of UK power stations and have millions of customers here.

The only way to resolve the energy problem in this country, is for all of us to produce some of our own electricity ourselves. Whether that be ugly solar panels, wind turbines or some other solution. We would still need at least half a dozen nuclear stations to fill in the gaps.

Fusion power will happen in the future within the next 50 years, but that's probably beyond the lifetimes of many of us here. So we need something to plug the gap and relying on Czar Putin is not the way to go.
