'Twas something of a curate's egg wasn't it? Yes, phasing out coal-fired generation is a good move. But replacing it with gas, still strongly CO2 producing and mainly imported, does smack of mixed objectives and but minimal commitment to climate change targets. Also heavily subsidising nuclear while kicking renewables in the proverbial teeth doesn't seem particularly coherent.
It's good that finally HMG appears to be waking up to the fact that UK energy policy is a mess. The worry is that we're in a frying pan to fire scenario.
