10 years (and it isn't 10 years, it is 10 years from getting a spade in the ground, so I'd be shocked if it was done before 2035 - here is a recent article saying they they want to submit a business plan in a year https://www.thenational.wales/environme ... announced/) is everything in the grand scheme of things. You need capacity now - both from a climate perspective and from an energy supply perspective.The Old Man of Storr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 11:55 am I believe Wylfa B has been given the go ahead after some delay - 10 years in the grand scheme of things is nothing .

Did you bite or is holding the course still the idea here?Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 12:56 pm It must be a standard form, mine from SSE looked the same.
I went with the standard variable for now, coming off a two year fixed rate. Their best fixed deal was getting on for twice the current svr.
The numbers are eye watering, I was paying £29 a month not long ago and the 'best deals' want over £180 now. It is going to be a cold winter, thinking of unplugging my extra monitors etc. (first world problem I know) . I've no idea how a lot of people will be able to pay. Ill be 'fine' but it is bonkers, along with £2 a litre petrol.... hard times incoming.
That sounds pretty good. Have you had your boiler ripped out, or simply killed all of the rest of your family to keep your usage down?
Come October the standard variable will be more than the fixed offered no doubt and then won't be on offerJohnny Byrne's Boots wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 1:11 pm I went with the standard variable for now, coming off a two year fixed rate.

So for my sins I spent this evening at a round table of heads of Environmental, Social, Governance that we had organised. It doesn't get much more rock n roll than that kids!
To be fair, my home is pretty energy efficient so we were barely using the boiler over the winter anyway. We'd have the heating on for an our or so in the morning and the house would stay warm. In the evening we were using a convection heater for short blasts to warm the living room up rather than heat the entire house.
There needs to be Rich.
I mean commercially not actually trying to fix the planet. The plan is to make Britain a centre of excellence for climate change and then export that talent and experience. Think F1.the pink palermo wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 2:32 pm There needs to be Rich.
My own opinion is it's too late, and that mankind is doomed. The planet will survive and regenerate eventually but we've done ourselves.
If we get out of this hole it will be a miracle.
