A major nuclear plant that Britain’s government hopes will generate affordable, low-carbon energy could cost up to 46 billion pounds, or $59 billion, and the completion date could be delayed to after 2029.
UK is about the worst possible populated place for solar there is. Its incredibly cloudy, very high latitude (the southern tip of it is north of of Winnipeg) and has higher energy demand in the winter when days get down to ~6 hours of daylight.
Wind is by far the more practical renewable energy here.
But… but… but muh baseload!
