Indeed. I am going to be installing solar soon. I have a friend who has just started a solar company and is doing me a good deal.

However I would like a bit of nuclear or coal backup. I don't trust Johnny Foreigner. Once you get beyond Dover the world becomes quite uncivilised.

How long do those things last before they have to be rebuilt or scrapped?

20 to 25 years for an offshore wind farm due to component life, then you have the option of repowering (Fitting new turbines and cables).
