@kravietz @cstross The UK cheapest solution for reliable power is imports and heat pumps and wind and demand-side management. But it is just a mess coz monopolies and historical commitment to nukes.
At the end of the day, battery prices came down another 20% this year, just as they do every year. Plus solar and wind getting cheaper, year-on-year. Building a nuke will take a decade, minimum. By then renewables & storage will demolish that nuke on price. 3/3
