trotter Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 18 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: Scottish Government says NO to nuclear Which in my view is a stupid, stupid policy. 1) Do we need stable, reliable baseload power? Yes 2) Do we need to reduce/stop using fossil-fuels for power generation? Yes 3) Do we have the ability to first produce/install the equipment we need to embrace renewables on a meaningful scale, then store the power from it when we are not using it? No Because the answers to 1) and 2) are yes, and because the answer to 3) is no then we need nuclear - unless people want to go back to living in 1950 it shouldn't even be up for discussion. We can't turn off fossil fuels overnight, because we can't make up the slack with renewables in the short-to-medium timeframe. Not to mention that renewables, by their very nature, are not 100% reliable to produce the power you need, exactly when you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are tied to Greens though and need them to prop up minority government. It's like DUP supporting Tory government before last election where it's the tail wagging the donkey. We can't afford not to have nuclear power but their support won't admit it's a disastrous policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Thor Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Boris pulls an new energy strategy out of thin air with 'world leading nuclear' by 2050 and the flag shaggers are all over it. Whit aboot the esssennpee? Gies peace. The last station built was in 1987, commissioned in 1995. Hinkley C is still under construction and won't open until 2027 at the earliest. It was one of 8 promised by Call me Dave. The other 7 didn't happen. So see this sudden chest puffing about nuclear just cos Spaffer says he's on it? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor jambo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 2 hours ago, Victorian said: On the pathetic number of visas granted to Ukrainian refugees and asked why Global Gobshites are always playing catch-up compared to other countries, Patel reckons "it's not about catch-up". Aye? You can say that again. It's about not catching up. Amirite? We're not in the EU and it's only right that we operate our own rules. Apparently. Aye. Brexit opportunities. The opportunity to look the other way. Scotgov have also failed miserably to hit anything like the target they should as a super-sponsor . hardly any visas granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany has had 20 years debate with a strong anti nuclear sentiment. I think the SNP and Green leadership are using the same concerns. It's fine to have concerns but gas is gone with a combination of natural and nuclear. And it should be seen as a Europe wide strategy.

Its an incredible human trait that the richer you are, the more likely it is that you'll do anything to avoid paying the correct tax you owe, despite you being rich enough to easily afford it.

Whilst there was always anti-nuclear sentiment in Germany, the government pulled their power plants off line permanently in 2011 primarily as a response to what happened in Fukushima. It wasn't public pressure that led to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
