And in the next 6-7 years we will have expanded our uranium enrichment capabilities to the point where we can securely fuel them as well.
Oil and gas is traded on international markets wherever it is produced and it would only ever be nationalised for domestic use only in a dire existential emergency. The fact that we have plenty of it under our seas does not therefore offer us the hassle-free energy security you seem to think it does.
