Gas and electricity bills are rising like balloons. We have the ability to build wind farms, but nobody wants one where they live. Likewise with wave power. Likewise with the Marchway Bypass.
Everyone wants something cheap or free, but nobody wants to be inconvenienced by it.
The solution is simple. If you live within sight of a wind farm, you get half-price electricity. If you live close enough so you can hear it, you get free electricity.
Try that one, Government, and watch the houses spring up around the wind farms. So much for 'blot on the landscape' protesters, they'll be the first in line for free power.
Nuclear is a short term solution, no matter what anyone says. There really isn't all that much uranium on the planet.
Fusion is, as always, twenty years from viability. It always will be.
I'll be putting a steam engine in my car soon.
