    Unfortunately that isn't a 'unique selling point'; there are many, many competitors on that market.

    You got that right, if ever Wales wanted independence I would relocate to England as the WAG are a bunch of inbred feckwits who have no idea incompetence is an understatement.

    A few coal fired power stations as they are quick to put up. Meanwhile design nuclear power stations in the UK (stuff the Frogs).

    And no petrol cars in the UK from 2030. Go all electric. Then the Iraqis and the rest of the middle-east nutters can be left to kill each other in peace.

    There is absolutely loads of gas. North Sea, Middle East, Russia.

    Never mind the stuff you can get from fracking - which has put the US on a course from being an importer to being an exporter of energy ( the "Peak Oil" crowd didn't see that coming! )

    We might see some short-term supply spikes caused by political events, but long term gas should be a reasonably secure choice.

    If we had a joined up government energy policy it may have stopped or at least slowed the crazy use of a finite resource i.e. natural gas to be burnt to generate electricity

    You mean Scotland?

    Time to get on with fracking so at least the UK has its own gas supply.
