    You have to over build and you have to diversify. As many different types of generation as you can.

    Nuclear probably has a role. However it doesn’t fit well in a dynamic generation scenario. It doesn’t like just sitting there waiting to fill in the gaps left by solar and wind. It wants to be a full power all the time just due to economics.

    If we could get tidal working, that would be superb. Regular, predictable and almost universal.
