#Coal in the UK is dead (but not yet buried). #Nuclear dominates all investments and yet cannot deliver to meet the growing demands. #Hydro & #BioFuels are killing the #ecology and #Renewables continue to be stymied by #CarbonGrifters while costs to #ratepayers skyrocket. This is the definition of a #ClusterFuck with no resolution in sight. #UKEnergy. @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org
