The SNP has been really good at building windfarms, got to give them credit there. I’m still pro some nuclear, as a back-up when it’s still and cloudy (or just night time - long nights in the Scottish winter!), especially because solar panels are less useful at that latitude, so you’re really reliant on wind.
Yeah, I got you. Definitely not opposed to nuclear, just think that with the conditions here in Scotland going in on it without boosting wind generation even more would be stupid. That said I’ve not really looked at anyone’s campaign platforms yet…should probably do that with the election around the corner…
Battery technology has become so much cheaper in the last few years but the dial does not seem to be shifting on fission. I’m not sure why so many commentators online are so wedded to the technology, given how expensive it is.
