No **** Sherlock!
As observations go, it’s easy to see Truss’ debut announcements, along with her chancellor, have damaged the economy. Even more obvious, in my opinion, is that the rot stems back twelve years to when Cameron became leader.
However, there is the possibility that Truss - regarding energy supply is playing a slightly longer game. But, it is a long shot in giving her any credibility. Here’s my notion, an announcement to engage with SMR roll-out would likely meet with strong public opposition. People don’t understand nuclear and it’s promise to be non-polluting, but that’s understandable. Suppose fracking is, and most likely will be, another u-turn for Truss.
It would be much easier to sell nuclear to the public thereafter. Could it be that Truss and her cabinet know only too well that a push to revitalise the fracking proposal will fail.
So in a nutshell - fracking will ‘take a dive’ for nuclear.
Well, I did say it’s a long shot.
Interesting notion though.
