UK runs out of energy (Again)

As I discussed in an earlier blog comment, the UK faces a potential energy crisis of epic proportions ....

UK Nuclear Power
UK Nuclear Power

...... and yet the Labour Government of Gordon Brown is sticking its head in the sand on this issue.

Well once again the subject has been raised, and once again its being down played by this government of pygmies. We sleep walk from one disaster to another, with the Labour Party apparently incapable of running the country, or making the hard but obviously required decisions.

We need nuclear power now, and we need strategic planning permission granted now .... not ten years of tree hugger's and eco fascists, blocking progress while the UK freezes, or pays blackmail rate power rates from the continent.

I am seriously concerned that we are no longer able to make strategic national decisions these days.

Update: Putin managed to double or quadruple oil/gas prices in 2021 and we were forced to pay up or switch out the lights .... chickens well and truly came home to roost.
