UK should go for renewables and not coal
Thursday, September 25th, 2008I have said it before and I will say it again. To go the coal way is to ignore the global warming that is currently taking place. To build new coal fired power stations in UK would not only be senseless but stupid and irresponsible as well. Money should be spent on future development of green energy power supply and there are loads of options for UK.
Nuclear power supply being taken over by EDF is also a bit of a worry as they always go for nuclear power plants and then you have the problem of getting rid of the waste as if there is not enough of that already.
EDF do have the capacity to go for renewable energy so in a way it will be interesting to see wether the French are thinking about the future or sticking to the past scenarios which shortly would become a problem.
Time for change UK and make some decisions about UK’s future.
Iceland is a good example of renewable energy and so is New Zealand with its hydro energy plants as well as thermal energy plants.
Either country can show one or two great options.
