But the UK can go weeks without sun or wind in winter. The battery capacity required to supply a week of the UK's electricity needs would cost TRILLIONS of . It really is just nuclear that does the job for the UK. For decades the UK had relatively cheap consistent electricity supplied by coal. The most straightforward response is to swap coal"

Likewise lenders are turning against freehold and much of their behaviour is very "computer says no" when it comes to mortgages. So you'll have the challenge of turning around a consumer behaviour which is very hard but not impossible. But the biggest challenge is lenders"
