With the ever-ongoing ‘progress’ of the proposed UK nuclear power plants, I wonder if this is the best course of action (not just in the UK, but across other nations also)?

    For fuck’s sake! It’s both, you can’t rely on a single one.
    Guess which one it is being used and will be used for decades to come while everyone is distracted arguing which one is better?

      Where I live it’s solar, hydro and wind. No fossil or nuclear required. I don’t get why people like nuclear. It’s expensive, slow to build, produces waste and keeps countries hostage with its radium requirements.

        Not every country can have hydro. In your case, hydro fills the role that nuclear would fill. When nuclear is not an option and hydro is not available that role is being filled by gas and coal.
