I agree that the figure is probably way out, but it started my argument nicely ;-)

I'm all for nuclear as well, for the reasons you state, cleanliness and consistant output

I work very much in the industry involved with tidal power and while there is an argument against things like a Severn barrage, there isn't much to stop smaller scale tidal generation from happening.

My thoughts on the whole thing are actually (now I've had a chance to think) we either need to go big with nuclear, or go very small with little geothermal or hydro plants serving communities.
