Britain is to build a new nuclear power station with the capacity to power as many as six million homes under plans to boost energy security and hit net zero targets. Claire Coutinho, the Energy Secretary, heralded the plans as “the biggest expansion in nuclear power for 70 years” as she set out a raft of other measures in the Government’s long-awaited Nuclear Roadmap.
Good news, if they can actually get it done. But in the meantime, (at least 10 years to have new nuclear plants up and running?) I'm afraid a lot of people are going to freeze to death if a real humdinger cold snap comes along; or die from heat stroke if we have some really hot summers. The power grid is so vulnerable now.
