Even now, going hard on renewables is the best strategy. The technology is cheap, proven and readily available. If we build an excess of renewables we can wean off of fossil fuels most quickly, even diverting resources to nuclear will only slow down this goal.

The government do have ultimate responsibility, even if they’re influenced by the greed of wealthy people and organisations.
