Agreed. I think we’ve missed the boat with nuclear unless mini reactors can be brought in quickly and cost effectively. Don’t know enough to comment in detail though
That's one of my issues with it - it feels like we're quickly moving on with other sources and new nuclear plants being agreed now are going to be expensive millstones by the time they even come online, let alone are due to be decommissioned, If that was the way we were going to go it needed to have been a long time ago and for them to be ready to produce energy right now.
It's not an extreme position to consider both to be quite bad and not the solution...eco extremists (nuclear and fracking) dictate our energy policy

I'm guessing the French approach limits the inflationary push,but if it were through borrowing interest bearing and possibly currency fluctuating.
Im not sure enough has ever been done with regard to fracking in particular to tell. Nuclear is so much safer than it was. As I’ve said though I have limited knowledge. The alternative is what we’ve got now….
Even then don’t we only have enough reserves from fracking for about 5 years supply? If we’re going to stretch out gas dependency we’d be better off by any measurement opening up more fields in the North Sea.Fracking is most definitely not an answer. Well unless you want
To keep churning carbon into the atmosphere
Earthquakes and sinkholes caused by destabilising the ground
Water contaminated with the chemical cocktail used in the process
Take a look over at the US where the contracts have been handed out like hot chips
So not enough to tell but some evidence not to proceed = an extremist nowadays?Im not sure enough has ever been done with regard to fracking in particular to tell.
Is she a remainer again or is she saving that for the 2024 GE?And yet another U-turn from Truss

And why Corbyn persisted with anti-Semitism?Up in Edinburgh for the Fringe and just been sitting next to Jeremy Corbyn. An interesting show tomorrow with wee Gordon Strachan. Will be an interesting performance. If there is a Qand A might ask him why he persisted with Telfer!

In this scenario the extremists as you call them just seem to be well informed of the facts. If anyone is an extremist it’s the people promoting it as a solution when it clearly isn’t.I was talking about extremists blocking exploration and progression of potential solutions.
I understand everyone’s got views on what’s good or bad, sometimes I think we need to just consider the least worst options
Always fancied the Fringe, but was put off by the price of accommodation.Up in Edinburgh for the Fringe and just been sitting next to Jeremy Corbyn.

Two questions.
a) Is it worth going?
b) Any tips for doing it on the cheap?
Scientific evidence suggests that fracking is one of the worst options. It can cause earth tremors, makes ground unstable, can contaminate water supplies, cause all sorts of environmental pollution, produces methane which is worse than carbon dioxide, is still burning a fossil fuel so will produce CO2 as well and won't even give us much energy security as the available deposits are uncertain and aren't likely to last very long. The only people pushing it as a solution are those looking to make a fortune out of it. I think we can call them the extremists.I was talking about extremists blocking exploration and progression of potential solutions.

Anything in particular this time, or just the general nonsense?Truss is a bot isn't she .
Now is not the time.It fucking you callous bitch.
Tax tax tax .Anything in particular this time, or just the general nonsense?
He is however not wrong in either of those points.Oh, and at the same time had the nerve, after his Tunbridge video, to talk about a moral responsibility to support poorer households and Liz Truss' tax cuts would not help the needy.
The arrogance of it is just astounding!
Maybe not, but does he actually believe it? Or intend to actually do anything about it? He's clearly someone who has an extremely disparaging view of the poor and working class and thinks that their problems are all of their own making.He is however not wrong in either of those points.
Economically, some things he says are right. Inflation will kill this government, and us, tax cuts won't help those who don't pay tax, and also mean potentially job losses if we contract... although he appears to want to magic up 'efficiency savings' himself. Being compared to Gordon Brown is a compliment, although he probably doesn't see it that wayMaybe not, but does he actually believe it? Or intend to actually do anything about it?

The appalling immigration stance, the lurch to the right on social issues is deeply unpleasant, but he's also helpfully fine tuned the Labour Party's attack on the economy. He's not wrong, Truss is going to lead us into disaster.
You know what I mean!A small point though, we all pay VAT.
Oh, I agree Truss will be an absolute car crash. Completely out of her depth and will make us a laughing stock. Even more so than Boris (and that takes some doing).Economically, some things he says are right.

You don't have to agree with his solutions to be able to acknowledge that at least he's offering one... which appears to be more than our current and future PM can do.
We must tax profits now, freeze energy price rises - and if necessary bring suppliers into the public sector | Gordon Brown
Without urgent action, families are seeing nothing more than pain now and pain later. There is a way through, says former prime minister Gordon Brownwww.theguardian.com
