So the ex-chairman of Northern Rock (at the time it went bust) is your new
prophet/nuclear expert?
Qualifications in zoolology.
Riiiiiiiiiight.

You need to check out your authors background before you accept any blurb
that fit's in with what you hope is the truth.

As anyone who has worked on a nuclear site would no doubt verify, the
time wasting and mismanagement is unbelievable. The number of
abandoned visits made because someone on site hasn't notified the
gate, or some paper clip merchant can't be bothered to turn up for
work on the day was something I lost count of.

It would be so much easier if they stuck the reactor and heat
exchangers half a mile away, left all the security personnel and other
plonkers to guard the place. Then dropped a nice "safe" coal or gas
fired boiler into position for the generators.

I'm sure if everything was actually brought to the publics notice
including the bottomless pit of taxpayers money used to line the
pockets of those fighting "terrorism", nuclear would not be a
consideration for the forseeable future.

If anyone thinks energy is expensive, just look at the waste. Power is
squandered and probably for the same reason we want nuclear power
stations. No individual relates the expense to themselves personally.
All those nice pretty lights in the cities and the new power station
are a long way away from Ones personal meter reading.

Resistance[Ohmic] generation is the true way forward!

I'm still suggesting using the reactors from redundant submarines myself.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

An interesting thought is that with a bunch of small reactors on one
site, losing the power lines wouldn't hurt quite so much - leave one
running to power the pumps on the rest, and don't burn all that diesel.

You'd also be able to keep a flatter output, as you could cycle the
maintenance around the site. I think I like the idea.

HE was an efficiency expert at the NHS which explains why the NHS wastes
so much.
If the NHS were as efficient as a residential property we could probably
save 30,000 windmills.

What shape are they going to be in when you get them off the sea bed?
