And you really blame that on green nimbies?

No I blame our loss of expertise in large scale nuclear power plant on
that. Pretty much like I said above.

As far as I am aware, we don't have a long and industrious history of
solar panel production or wind turbine production. Hence like any other
manufactured product, you buy it from whoever makes it at a price you
are willing to pay.

Quite. At one time the UK would have been in the forefront of new
technology like that. But not since manufacture or anything not software
based became a dirty word.

That’s a lie with heavy aircraft engines, wings and portable
nuke reactors and with TV docos and drama too.
