The Lights Going Off Has Moved A Little Bit Closer !

We desperately need more electricity generating capability, and yet Hinkley Point now looks as if it will never get built. Or if it will be built, it may be too late to provide the power we need in the near future. What shortsightedness this is. We can't continue to bury our heads in the sand here. One day, in the near future we face the real possibility of coming home and not being able to turn a light on.

Currently about 31% of our electricity is still generated by coal-fired power stations, but they won't last much longer.
We need new nuclear power stations Dougie. Wind farms will help and the new tidal barrage that hopefully will soon be built at Swansea will help as well. But its large power stations that will continue to provide the lions share of our electricity needs and the delay in starting Hinkley Point C is a huge mistake and a disgrace.

Here here DT. The Yanks are self sufficient and powering a huge economic recovery over there after a concerted gas fracking programme. They buy no oil or gas from the OPEC gangsters and have brought down the global price of oil as a result. This has thwarted Putin and reduced the price even over here. Petrol and diesel prices have tumbled as has the price of our domestic gas. We should do likewise.
well I don't think that we will influence the pump or stove/boiler prices as these are set by the global traders at the margin. However, some incentive through tax could be given to fracking and black oil - and Teeside would benefit as to employment. British recoverable reserves in black oil are humengous, thought to be over 20 billion BoE off Teeside and Quadrant 9....three projects alone are looking to deliver over 1 billion barrels.

that's the point togo, I think they can run indefinitely if that is the aim, thus avoiding decommissioning, I know there is expensive refitting necessary from time to tim but that is in effect building a new station in place of the old one but without the costs of decommissioning, that is essentially what the french have done.
