Accelerating Nuclear Power in the UK

After a couple of decades experimenting with solar power in a sun free country and wind power in a nation that needs energy mostly when the wind is not blowing, most UK people now recognise, despite the powerful propaganda, that renewable energy is nowhere near enough. Yes, do renewables, but not at such a foolishly high price, and without such a foolish aspiration - if renewables have standing, show me!

But we've seen the devastating failure of government policy on nuclear power over the past 3 decades too has relied on even higher levels of ignorance, perhaps an institutionalised scam which DOGE needs to look into? 

Today things on energy are starting to get very tricky. Let us not repeat the same, hugely costly mistakes. But how? By rolling out nuclear power stations as fast as possible

Here is my view. I'm suggesting we can halve the cost of energy starting from today if we're deadly serious about it. The thing is, are we deadly serious about it and if we're not, then why bother doing anything at all - that would just add to the usual waste and welfare costs? 

Obviously this guidance appears to be hyperbolic at face value. Maybe thats true. But the effects of state policy for the past 3 decades must have been from much wilder policy! So let's stop that immediately, with less hyperbole? And lets start getting deadly serious about it... IF we really mean it. 

  1. Stop talking. Start doing. If we're deadly serious about it, then immediately start the ground work in all the 10 viable existing power station sites which need no further permission. If were deadly serious about it, why do we need permission and license? Now we're talking about it, abolish all licensing and planning permissions - we're deadly serious about it right? So lets start immediately and without further excuse.
  2. Use Korean, French and US nuclear regulations as they are. They designed and built them, do they care less about conservation and their people than we do? of course they don't. - the UK EPR's and PWR have clearly proven to be 100% super adequate. Meaning they cost about twice as much per unit of electricity than they need to. Think energy prices. 
  3. Pay for new builds directly from The Treasury with new money, free from government bonds. Claw the new money back from the huge increases in local land values from the new build, using a covenant bond fixed to the boosted location values which will come with the new build. Instead of risky mortgages - help the nuclear workers and residents of the much greater supporting community infrastructure, get decent homes locally without risk of default, yet with a commitment to conservation of the local land. Conservation will deal with itself based on local commitment and obligation, rather than a cult of environmentalists.
  4. Build a network of partners with, for example, France where we need them for their expertise and components which we gave away during the decades of managed decline. Give them plenty of stake in it. With the promise that one day we might be able to proceed on our own. But with the likelihood both sides will benefit enormously from success anyway. The EU cannot create success. It can only block it.
  5. Any grants and subsidy to go directly into national civil engineering, be they public or private sector, commit any freebies to civil engineering. Not the energy companies or remaining investors - allow the best enterprise and state actors to come to the front.
  6. Cease promotion of all Net Zero and climate type policy and propaganda - proceed with climate doctrine if you must nationally. Just do not discuss it in any part of the new nuclear build - it is soul destroying for nuclear investors, designers and workers to talk about wind and solar when they know it cannot deliver but have to pretend to support it for fear of losing their jobs.
  7. Do not deliver any conservation policy at the power station site at inception. Deal with that properly following grid connection if still required after local land interests have done what they will do so well already having seen the huge local benefits.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
