Renewables may only offer part of our energy needs via the Sun or wind sadly they are not able to power the country and may never provide a 100% solution, as we have to power huge generators , therfefore we will always need nuclear, gas, coal, oil or some form of biomass fired solution.
Unless we own it, it will just go to the highest bidder like UK gas does. We sold our chance of being energy secure a long time ago.
