We have all the world's waste Plutonium for 'reprocessing'. We are very wealthy in that regard.

Lots of old people are going back to work until they are no longer mobile.

Yes true, they laughed back then though when people said they shouldn't be so reliant on RU gas, so fully their own fault (also the reason why they didn't want to annoy RU by supplying weapons to Ukraine hoping RU wouldn't chop their gas supply). Still they are where they are now and it will have huge implications on Europe overall.
As for the UK, it's also not in a great position as they have very little storage capacity and increasing market prices are hitting them the same way it's hitting every other country. Apparently in London data centres are pulling so much juice that there's not much left for anyone else :/

TBH I put the blame for the current "energy security" crisis, and massive price hikes as a result of the lack thereof, fairly and squarely on the shoulders of every national government since the 1970s which ran scared of the "Atomkraft? Nein Danke" crowd and, in the UK, an over-optimistic belief that the North Sea reserves would be forever plentiful and cheap (with a lot of it belonging to the Norwegians anyway).
Had we taken the opportunity to build out our nuclear industry, we'd all be a bit less insecure in terms of energy.
Time to get the Rolls Royce SMRs into mass production?
