WHAT is it with British governments that, one after the other they manage to select the worst of all options?
Why, given a series of choices of which one stands out as the dearest, the longest to bring to fruition and the most inefficient, will they unerringly choose that one?
Take energy. We presently have the most expensive energy in Europe. If we could have cheap, clean energy and masses of it, would could turn our fortunes round and forge back to be once again a real Great Britain. Is it available? Oh yes. Will we ever have it? Fat chance. Why? Bumbling ineptitude.
We are told we must cut out the four hydrocarbons: wood, coal, oil and natural gas. Too much CO2. That leaves seven. Two of them, nuclear fusion and geo-thermal, are still in the scientific future. Of the five left, one is nuclear waste matter indestrucable for tens of thousands of years, but thorium whose waste is one percent of uranium. Thanks to a decade and a half of dithering, we are miles behind everyone else on nuclear power generation.
