Seriously the only way to get electricity prices down is to scrap all

It will be interesting to see, when all the 'pump priming' subsidies
have run their course and renewable kit starts to need renewing, how
many get replaced.

But by then the world may have a different view as to whether 'climate
change' is anything other than a natural phenomenon.

One thing is fer sure. Solar panels and windmills are 90% ineffective at
redcucing CO2 emussions but nuclear power is 90% effecetive.


But nuclear is going to cost 9.2p/Kwh. That's way more than current spot
price.

3.2Gw is about 10% of summer peak power demand and 7% of winter. So that
clean nuc power is going to skew the price of everyone's electricity
upwards.

Soon be time to buy a 2nd hand Nissan Leaf battery, 4Kw solar, vert axis
windmill in garden, inverter and go off grid. Or at worst charge the
battery on economy 7.
