True. Let's invest more in nuclear. Made in China. That will never be
expensive or need any subsidies. And all such things always come in on
budget and on time.

Like the processed raw materials that the 'green energy' industries rely
on and the battery subsidy-farms will need, you mean?

Like you - and pretty well everyone else - costing such things seems to
depend on where you start from. Ably demonstrated by the nuclear lobby.

I favour a variety of power generating types. Putting all your eggs in one
basket was never truer.

I favour putting my eggs in the 'reliable' basket.

Nuclear and CCGT will do that just fine, no need for anything else.

Those who are so against renewable sources rather obviously have an agenda.
