 I was thinking it's because we have an economy and politics riddled with vested interests bleeding us dry ... but I guess that has a neat symmetry with the B word in itself! |

I feel your pain Oracle but admire your fortitude. March will be with us soon enough then you can fill your boots.

Weird how EDF run 5 UK nuclear power plants (and will own Hinkley point C) and they're 84% owned by the French Government, soon to be 100%.
Let's hope we don't piss them off, eh?

Yes another totally mindless decision. Why would anyone compromise National security in such a way? The French have some form on this of course threatening to cut Jersey's energy supply during the fishing quota debate.

If it were up to me I'd have every building in Wales assessed for microgeneration and install whatever kind of renewable electricity generator is appropriate AND insulate as much as possible off the back of government grants as far as possible. On top of that I'd look at initially any lithium mining/processing we can do here in Wales but look to move beyond that by developing better battery tech - sodium ion and iron-air batteries might offer what we need in the future. Put a domestic scale battery in every home and scale up for businesses/industry. One thing we could also do here in Wales is managed forestry coupled with hydrogen generation from surplus supply to create synthetic hydrocarbons via the Fischer Tropsch process. Could run our public transport on it.
We could be entirely energy self sufficient in Wales with no reliance on fossil fuels or nuclear. What an advantage that would be! There's enough resource here to generate a surplus. Right - independence and make me Tywysog Cymru!

I see this governments policy to sell off everything , so out of work ministers can have some meaningless made up position and earn a huge amount of cash on the side ....imagine someone who comes to your house and then starts to sell off or give away all your belongings
