Farage thinks it's acceptable to whip up fear, hatred and rioting.
Let him think that.
God forbid he ever becomes PM
If he does he will see the greatest Civil disobedience this Country has ever seen.
Tens of millions peaceful protest but protest that will systematically destroy his populist brand of fascism.
Clogging up the arteries of his fascist state by sheer volume. No riots, just mass organised withdrawal of Labour and strangling of his totalitarian bull crap.
The best way is to win the argument and see Farage, like Polanski, maginalised
Anything else is simply a recipe for horrific division across the country, which is already divided
Maybe even Kemi will succeed in attracting the vote of the centre right, though this would no doubt cause you to combust !!!!!!!!!
She needs to attract the completely barking right which is why she has gone Rupert Lowe-lite.
The US military is developing mini-nukes for bases, and emergencies. They are small enough to be moved by trucks, or even airplanes, and produce enough power for 1,000 average American homes, according to a TV story I saw. (I like the fact that the Army and the Navy have competing programs.)
The programs are promising the first deliveries by 2028.
Incidentally, such reactors might be a good for civilian use in parts of the Arctic. (I assume the military reasons for them are obvious.)
Rolls Royce in the UK is developing something similar, called SMR (small nuclear reactor), intended for town-sized deployments.
Yes the military use case is obvious, you can drop it in the middle of nowhere and have no need for a constant supply of fuel for electricity generation.
The middle of nowhere has no connection to the grid.
The middle of somewhere has NIMBY's. "Would you like a nuclear sub moored on your river? No?"
Would you like a nuclear sub moored on your river, if it means you ‘leccy bill drops 90%?
Possibly different answer.
Except....your leccy bill will rise by 90% more like.
Your reminder: no nuclear power station has been built anywhere on the planet without state subsidies.
No wind or solar appears to have been built without massive state subsidies either.
The new SMRs appear to actually work economically, with UK energy prices so high thanks to government policy to throw money at intermittent renewables that need conventional backup.
Pains me to say it, but France got it right.
No one really knows the cost per MWH for their SMRs until they're built.
They are way too big to meet the US military requirement (the reactor vessel alone is double the total weight limit, and too large to fit in a C5, let alone a C130). They're also PWRs, so don't meet the technical requirements for robustness, either.
The military reactors are tiny: 5MW maximum, some a tenth of that. The Rolls SMRs are 400 to 500MW.
SIlly me was giggling at the idea of a nuke-powered Sinclair C5....
