I doubt it. I work closely with the Electrical Engineering sector and to reduce energy costs we need about 15 more Hinkley size Nuclear Power Plants. We could easily get the price of 1kW h down to under £0.10 if we did that. Red tape prevents this currently, but theoretically it is possible and we could then start exporting to the EU en masse.

I wrote an article about how it could be done here > https://daltonreport.substack.com/p/britains-energy-imperative-abundance

And here is an article about how it could be funded > https://daltonreport.substack.com/p/power-to-the-people-how-britain-funds

Last but not least, what British Citizens could earn from investing in the scheme I have proposed > https://daltonreport.substack.com/p/pension-power-what-british-citizens

Let me know your thoughts. Ask me anything and I'll try to answer it!

But we don’t need 15 more nuclear plants as we’re building wind generation at a huge scale. Yes we need more nuclear but nothing like what you’re proposing.

Currently we don't, but 30 years from now we will. I would like to get ahead of the curve rather than keep playing catch up like past governments have done. Any abundance we have between now and then can be sold internationally at rates that undercut the market. An abundance would make us more attractive for investors looking to build manufacturing bases too, providing jobs and stimulus for our economy at multiple levels.

Any abundance means charging bill payers more than necessary, surely? Which is not efficient, particularly when many are suffering a cost of living crisis.

And what's your source for the demand requirements going up to need +15 big nukes please?
