Anas Sarwar asks voters in Scotland to give Labour five years to ‘fix SNP’s mess’

Everything he promises sounds good to me. The party would also build new nuclear power stations, scrapping the SNP’s longstanding ban on the technology, and greatly streamline the planning system to speed up developments, Sarwar added

That sounds like a good thing, but Scotland has so much wind it kinda doesn’t make sense to build nuclear power. I’m not poopooing nuclear, it’s a really useful tech, just with the amount of time and money to spin up a single nuclear station we’d be swimming in wind farms…

The SNP has been really good at building windfarms, got to give them credit there. I’m still pro some nuclear, as a back-up when it’s still and cloudy (or just night time - long nights in the Scottish winter!), especially because solar panels are less useful at that latitude, so you’re really reliant on wind.

Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
