It’s good that the tide is moving to nuclear and sensible support of renewables by baseload gas. Home produced gas has to support the U.K. growth strategy. These things help the U.K. without hindering the rest of the world.

The fact that Blair has woken up and been given permission to indicate a pivot makes me smile. Milliband is on his way out. Why did we have to put up with the nonsense for so long.

Good post, I like what you’re saying but I think your bit on SMRs needs a tweak. Both rolls Royce and GE hitachi have submitted theirs designs for final stage of EDA approval. It will be a while before we see any major SMR projects in the uk but that’s ok. The nuclear industry doesn’t rush things.
