Personally out of the two Nuclear.

One of the biggest misconceptions I'd say is this "Being Green" concept; more specifically wind turbines or electric vehicles. We need the advances in technology but everyone is trying to run before they walk.

If I was offered something better by another company. I will defend my company to the end in terms comparing them to another of the big 6 but I don't trust them to look after me, like any other large company in this day in age.

If you mean Creme Eggs then my opinion is they need to fill their Easter eggs with the filling before I am happy.

I'm not a Beatles fan at all I'm afraid.

I'd say it's Swing Life away by Rise Against

As muh as I'd love to do that I can't. Steve and his neighbours would all have to off.

I'm not sure about your knowledge with regards electrical engineering so sorry if this too basic.

Imagine the cables on the network are like pipes. The energy in them is like water. The original power stations that the network was first built for are like taps.

The pipes can hold the water from the taps fine. The generators are like additional taps connecting to the pipe. When they are on more "water" flows into the "pipe" than it was designed for which can damage it.

Throw into this the flow of mvars changing spending on what is generating on the network.

It is also changes the fault level at certain points which makes it unsafe for the operational staff operating the network.

You're very welcome, I'm surprised by the response tbh.

I'd like to see more of it. I feel that more money should of been invested into the disposal of nuclear waste. I'm fairly certain it has some of the highest efficiencies as a source of generation.

In terms of safety, they are incredibly safe. Unfortunately the two big incidents in history have marred it. Chernobyl (where the reactor we not well maintained) and Japan (building nuclear on earthquake zones) both had losses but not due to the source, due to yet again humans being idiots.
