  1. There are so many things to say here.

    Not least the bizarre double standard that it’s unacceptable to kill up to **46 tonnes** of fish a year to generate 7% of the UK’s electricity, meanwhile the UK fishing fleet is deliberately killing **750,000 tonnes** of fish every year for a product that no one needs to eat and contributes a mere 5-7% of protein intake in the U.K.

    Obviously all the usual critiques of nuclear power taking an absurd amount of time and money to build write themselves…
