I don't want to thread drift. The economics of greenness are as you say uneconomic on the face of it. So it will impact as the debate has stood so far.

However there are other costs not being debated. The hidden costs of nuclear and dealing with radioactive material. The cost of the National Grid. That energy is lost in long transmission of electricity and there is an informed view that local grids produce cheaper electricity (but we do not have local grids I know).

Back on thread. Welcome Karen, welcome John. I look forward to seeing the winner at the British Legion hustings.
