So this is a report on what if the reasonable worst case scenario isn’t bad enough?
Nuclear power is reliable and will be too cheap to meter they said.
Every year there is talk of blackouts in the uk in the winter months. This winter is no different. With many people not being able to afford to use much electricity due to the prices will there be blackouts?
Edit. Changed to ‘there’ not that makes much difference.
2 down votes? For what exactly?
Tangentially a pub in London is called ‘the faltering fullback’. Always liked that name.
That’s for when Macron will have had enough of PM Truss provocations…
Does anybody know, if there are blackouts will it affect the mobile network? Will whole areas by cut off or can they just cut off the houses and keep the cell towers powered?
Similarly, if you can run a router from a UPS will you still have internet access? I know the phone line has its own power but does that apply to the cabinets in the street?
PM Truss; “Business failures are due to poor productivity, not energy issues. We all need to work harder to keep Britain running…”
Cannot BELIEVE we rely on France for anything.
I had no idea French connectiin was so responsible for energy. There clothing isnt even all that good!

Molten Salt Reactors are the future, unfortunately no one is interested because they’re too cheap to build so the big companies can’t make mega-bucks out of running and decommissioning them.
Lifetime is 30 years, fuel lasts 30 years, is 95% efficient in comparison with a usual reactor and because they run hotter, they are themselves more efficient as well.
50’s technology buried because it doesn’t produce weapons grade plutonium…👍
