I cant see how a already stressed power grid system will cope with the extra load and even with upgrades/fixes the prices will only go up and make like harder for most unless we get a Government who will bite the bullet with Nuclear and risk political demise.Yep, for me it looks like we want to be selective with our learnings from recent history, we've completely discounted the farce that is the EU Energy grid and we are barrelling head long into crazy high energy prices.
The last time I was in the EU, I had a trip covering towns in France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. There were places where you could stand in one town and stare across a valley at another town paying 1800% more for it's energy.
I think when the subsidies go, the real subsidies not just the ones called a subsidy, things are really going to hit the fan.
Climate change is real, but there is no need to cut your own legs off to make things better!
