it also takes an awful lot of carbon (concrete) to build and decommission nuclear fission plants, and to store the waste.
and to claim nuclear fusion is the future is hedging our bets on a technology that doesn't currently work that well. scientists are only able to get out more energy than they put in for a short amount of time (read: seconds).
i don't see what is wrong with developing existing renewables.
would wind, wave, solar, tidal, and hydro-electric on a massive scale in the UK be able to meet all of our energy needs?
