Jolly good.
We need nuclear power, which was strongly supported by Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband when David Cameron was calling it "a last resort".
And we need coal. Of which, thankfully, we have a vast supply just waiting to be extracted.
Not necessarily in that order.
All else is ancillary to those two.
But we need them in British ownership. The only absolute guarantee of that is public ownership.

It is the responsibility of the British government, elected by the people of this country, to ensure the energy needs for the people of this country, whether this is through nuclear, coal, or decomposing fish heads. I find it deeply offensive that some faceless bureaucrats in Brussels can dictate the rules by which OUR government must abide by in order to provide this energy. I find it even more offensive that our ministers kowtow to these self-important bullies when they should be telling them to sod off and mind their own business (how this would be translated I am not quite sure).
