“The government’s disjointed approach is deterring the private sector investment needed to get our energy system up to scratch, bolster security and cut emissions,” said CBI deputy director general John Cridland.

“While we have generous subsidies for wind power, we urgently need the national planning statements needed to build new nuclear plants.

“If we carry on like this we will end up putting too many of our energy eggs in one basket.” BBC.

However, if the CBI is right and we’re too wind focused then the alternatives are surely be solar and wave power, not toxic nuclear power or the fantasy that is coal and carbon capture. We have to move away from burying our waste in holes in the ground, because these dumps will come back to haunt as when they inevitably start to leak. Unsurprisingly the CBI is in thrall to the big business’ of coal and nuclear power – too coal and nuclear focused.
