Yesterday on the BBC Radio4 Today programme, Ed Miliband was generally good on the priority of phasing out (fossil) hydrocarbons for electricity production.
However, he included nuclear in the low carbon pallette.
This is suspect on at least 2 counts.
1) The toxic radioactive legacy - still no viable solutions and much UK waste waiting at Sellafield.
2) Peak uranium. There won't be enough - see ourfiniteworld.com/2024/11/11/ esp fig 5.

Our Finite World · Nuclear electricity generation has hidden problemsNuclear electricity generation has an immediate problem of not enough uranium from mines. Advanced modular units can't solve this problem fast enough.

Carbon capture and storage will play absolutely no role in "the energy transition" as there's no evidence it can be scaled up in any meaningful way that even lowers emissions, and isn't creating energy either.

CCS is simply just a scam that's been designed by and for the fossil fuel industry so they can keep burning and profiting - and make you suffer for it.

From Ed Miliband on Twitter, with a video of a BBC Breakfast interview:"Carbon capture and storage will play a critical role in the energy transition, helping our industries to face the future. We are determined to make the UK a global leader in this new technology. For good jobs, energy security and climate action."

Labour is a disappointment. They are wasting a historical opportunity. The left should use these 5 years of disappointment to build a populist and alternative, independent of the Labour Party. Fighting for control inside the Labour Party will no longer work, that was a one in a lifetime bullet that Corbyn wasted by allowing internal dissent, which eventually became his downfall.

Miliband hails carbon capture plans as essential if UK is to 'decarbonise without deindustrialising' Energy minister Ed Miliband has described the government’s plans for carbon capture and storage as “exciting” and the beginning of a new era for Britain. Miliband said the new plans were “essential if we are to decarbonise without deindustrialising”, and were exciting because it showed that the new Labour government is “willing to invest in the future of Britain”. He told listeners of the Radio 4 Today programme that “create good jobs of the future, as the good jobs used to exist in coal” and help bring about energy security. Asked about critics who say carbon capture is a misstep, and the country should be getting out of the fossil fuel market altogether, he said that in order to head towards net zero, “we need all the technologies at our disposal,” and said the country was heading for “the biggest change in 200 years in the way we run our economy.” Miliband said: The backbone of our system will be renewables, right? That is the absolute backbone of our system. You will also have nuclear as part of the energy mix, long duration storage, batteries. But it is also important to have a strategic reserve.
