You mean they learnt they can't rely on the power of the gods?

Although unfortunately the current new nuclear power stations at Hinkley Point have been married by delays - as it does is typical of government projects. First unit was supposed to be up this year - now moved to between 2029-2031

That is an issue with western nuclear, always delayed cause either they want to seem like they don't want to use unsafe power, or their hands have been greased.
Just look at Indian point, nuclear closed down environmentalists rejoice, emissions worsen

A nuclear plant’s closure was hailed as a green win. Then emissions went up

Nuclear would be great, but seriously, who really thinks the ANC won't find a way to mess it up? What haven't they messed up or stolen from - they can't even repair comparatively simple coal stations for ages and can't keep their own piggies under control.

Better to take second best, whatever that is in reality now.
Ideally rather we grow with coal of course, but how with the mad mafia controlled deliveries and negative puppet masters situations?
 
I hear it's been nasty weather still in CT, bitterly cold and rain 3 days a week :- (
Looks like it's coming up here by about Wed., but not as bad as the last front.

Don't worry. There is no word for "nuclear" in their vocabulary.

We haven't had a proper one yet. Durban wasn't even cold after the last one.

Gosh I want to see this happen simply because the name of the element is just so cool.

I want a thorium powered car FFS. Sounds like it schits lightning.

My inner 12 year old needs this.

Just hit yourself on the thumb with a hammer. Should help with the thorium bit.

It's hard to believe it's Soweto & co. alone though, even their massive abuse seems smallish compared to industry. But plenty of industry up here too (the bulk of?) , just not sure why the cold would then make a difference.
