On paper large scale wind and solar is probably the way forward but as soon as the projects start getting planned all the nimbly people start kicking off.

And again, what happens when the wind stops blowing or it is night time?
Look at UK generated wind power, it is not continuous the troughs are many.

Nope, I take him as a man who has successfully built a renewables business and delivers great customer care. A tiny mentric that I would take over our incapable politicians.
Yep. Minimum wage is increasing a lot faster then middle class salaries. I can see the recession coming too unless greater action takes place to combat the lack of wage increases.

Hence why I suggest reading other suggestions...
Hey...
Tidal
Wind
Solar
It might not be a panacea, but it can be deployed much more quickly.
Going to watch this now, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDHdSNJpoXs * he has never stuff on this, but still interesting.
It doesn't solve the issue, you haven't presented an answer. Nuclear is the only viable solution right now.

Put some more clothes on, turn off your gadgets and go out to play.

Great idea, I lost loads of weight and put it back on. Silly me
The warm weather is coming now. No need to stick the heating on. Run around more that will help lose weight.
I have, you keep saying 'solar, wind' and then you chucked in 'tidal'. Nothing you have posted has addressed the issues raised.

People will need that extra weight come next winter when they can't afford to put the heating on or eat.
Hyperbole? I'm not so sure any more.

oh - good point keep the weight don't lose it. Store those nuts in your mouth like a squirrel for next season.
It doesn't matter does it? If we start now we will have energy security in the future, if we take your option we will have rolling blackouts every time the wind stops. It is precisely because of kicking the can we are in this position now, chucking all your eggs into an unreliable energy source without grid level storage is crazy.
This propaganda again
. Deregulation (which the Tories wanted more of) not excess spending caused the financial crisis. Labour are paying for it by taxing the excess profits of the oil and gas production companies, they are not plucking it out of thin air.What are the Tories doing, smashing the poor and ordinary people again and even harder while giving all the money to their rich mates who are doing better than ever? How is that going to fix anything?

We can and should do both to maximise their energy generation.
We can do both. Why does it always have to be one or the other?
There'll be nimbyism around nuclear power plants too.
Yes do both. However that isn't the argument he is presenting, he is saying just do solar/wind.

Hang on, I personally am not against developing nuclear. Do I want it to be the the corner stone of our strategy, no.
Will reply later, iPad screen is broken and not registering key presses, so v annoying to type on.
