Conspiracy theorists... are they all just a bit thick?

It's never too late to invest in nuclear, but it has to be done correctly. Proper design, no fine-tuning of that design once agreed and knock out multiple units. If massive ships from icebreakers to aircraft carriers can utilise reactors, then so can we.
Wind is supplemental, it is also difficult to synchronise onto a grid. It's noisy, an eyesore and cannot provide base in calm conditions. I stood under one recently for the first time and couldn't believe the noise of the blades!
Wave is a nice idea, but will never be economic. 2 periods of slack water each day, maint costs and exposure to extreme weather coupled with the difficulty of transforming slow-period energy to high frequency output means it's a bit of a pipedream.
The only way to do nuclear is to build it in another country, bankrolled by their taxpayers (we help out by lending them the money) and then taking a £clip on every KWh ever produced.

There's a very good reason why the U.K. govt told RR to jog on with their 'mini' reactors. RR want us to pay an unknown fee to finish its development and then keep all the sales revenue for themselves.
Offshore wind has the least noise issue and because of heavily depleted fish stocks there are fewer birds to mince up.
Tidal is slightly different from wave but both have the same issue which is heavy maintenance But again, there is a reason that Welsh tidal project got given the finger when they pleaded for a load of free taxpayer money. Their proposal and product just wasn't good enough and to be honest, it has always had a nasty stench of funding wheeze about it. Wave energy is a secondary generation aspect for many years in the future.
I don't think nuclear has any kind of core future in the U.K. it just makes far greater economic sense to export the excess wind 300 days of the year and on the shortfall days just import someone else's nuclear etc.
The die is firmly cast anyway and the U.K. has opted for the cheaper and easier to rollout offshore wind, to sell the excess not store and use nat gas as the fallback. The rate that wind is now being rolled out means it'll be the primary energy source before the end of the decade.

About what?
k knows honestly. I've seen multiple things on social media last 24hrs saying stuff like "there's something they're not telling us" and "I don't trust this story" etc etc. Like the nonsense around the story of the woman that died in the river.RoadToad84 said:

I've made a bit of a sport of winding up the CTer in my family. The same guy who was insistent I had secret government stuff in the storage shed in my garden instead of £2k worth of Kawasaki.
He knows I work in secure stuff but doesn't know my job and so naturally assumes that I know every secret going, and because I don't tell him anything he thinks I know 'the truth' behind whatever latest conspiracy he has jumped onto and I'm just being a meanie by not telling him. Chemtrails are his latest 'thing', with a bit of flat earth thrown in. Suddenly became religious too.
I have little to do with them and keep them at arm's length for obvious reasons, but it's amusing to me.

About what?‘Heart attacks, strokes’, and yes… drumroll… ‘Turbo cancer’!
All the usual tedious dross, but admittedly, I knew someone would say it (on a Daily Mirror article).

it's more than just oh he keeled over because he had the vaccine, it's people saying things don't add up about his death. "why was he carrying an umbrella in a hot country was he trying to disguise himself" and all that sort of ste.
Are they CTers or very low IQ? That kind of logic seems close to chimp level brain power?te. The less thick ones are normally just hate filled right or left wing extremists but I suspect a very large number are just very, very dim.
