"I’ve never seen an initiative of the US government have such an immediate, dramatic impact in a country."

Nuclear power is extremely expensive and takes extremely long to build.
Those two reasons alone are enough to sink the entire sector.
Imagine a grocery store that offers food at 10x the price and you need to wait 10 days to collect your purchase.
That’s nuclear power!

Yet again the Oxford Mail is disingenuious with its headline. If you read the article this it is not the LTN, rather people illegally parking their cars that blocked the fire engines.
This was indicated by the property manager. Poor parking is the problem!

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Oxfordshire's road casualties are down 22.4% compared to just 3.1% in the wider South East!
We've gone 20mph across a huge amount of the county, which will have been a major contributing factor.
This is a huge policy success for the County Council IMO (1/2)
