Well right now. 30/4 at 12:14 not that sunny today Gridwatch is

The problem with solar in the UK is that it doesn't generate power
when
we need it most.

I'm still having mega problems understanding why we can't deliver
nuclear more cost effectively. It seem we should be able to do that
and
keep both TNP and the global warming crowd happy. A reliable base load
give us much more scope for load balancing via smart devices.

Nobody has a viable/economic solution to dispose of the nuclear waste.


Glassify it and bury it deep its not impossible just theres a lot of FUD
on the subject..


So why is nobody doing it?


Because they have enough of a clue to realise that at some
time it may well make sense to reprocess it into more fuel
given that **** all of the radioactive material in the fuel rods
is actually consumed when its no longer of any use in the nuke.
