UK is not so fucked, perhaps, in this instance?
Rolls Royce secure funding for development of mini (-ish) nuclear fission reactors...

secures-450m-for-mini-nuclear-re...I've been following this for about four years now and am super happy to see that it's finally taking shape. This could be a big step for British industry and Britain's climate commitments. Never mind exports down the line and a reclamation of what was a world-leading industry that has been utterly shat on for the past two or three decades.
If Britain had had more spine and kept in line with France's commitment to nuclear power, we could have been one of the lowest carbon-emitting developed countries in the world.
What was is someone said here earlier about the best time to plant a tree...?
