    As far as I'm aware, we don't have any natural deposits of fissonable material in the UK so we'll bot be truly independent. Green energy is what we need for that, we have plenty of wind, waves and sunlight.

        Technically yes, it still creates some waste to be dealt with. I guess arguably you have the same with decommissioned turbines, solar panels, etc with other forms.

      I mean, we can't even build a rail line on time or to budget, I can't see us being able to build nuclear reactors any time soon.

        Starmer Voice Where I come from, we're not great at building rail lines because we're too busy railing lines from the bosom of this beautiful nation

      Unfortunately, renewables cannot do it alone and I wish that wasn't the case. Pairing renewables with emission free nuclear is the only option we really have to meet current and future demands without fossil fuels.
