Nuclear, coal or blackouts!

This is the decision that we are facing in the UK. The impending challenge that the UK faces in dealing with the energy question has still not been answered.

The need to energy shortfall that Britain is facing is imperative. The large combustion directive which comes into force in 2016 has implications on the way that hydrocarbon power stations operate. The decision to proceed with nuclear has been delayed for too long resulting in a shortage of UK engineers to deliver the project.

The issue of carbon capture and storage still has not been answered by the government, thus what do they do. Will the government proceed with new coal power stations without CCS to meet the shortfall or will they go for gas!!This is all before renewables is discussed. The need to look at all energy generation sources is a storm that is closing in.
