    Trust me, you want to be thinking hard about generating your own power/heat as soon as you can, as the price of energy will only climb...

      Indeed. I am going to be installing solar soon. I have a friend who has just started a solar company and is doing me a good deal.

      However I would like a bit of nuclear or coal backup. I don't trust Johnny Foreigner. Once you get beyond Dover the world becomes quite uncivilised.

        You and MF could make a fortune with a plan B to produce hot air.

            Build more offshore wind farms and tidal generation sites.

              I'd just advise going at this from all angles if I were you BP.

                Try not to cross-post. It's almost like you and Sas are reading from the same play-book today.

                  How long do wind turbines last before they have to be rebuilt or scrapped?

                    20 to 25 years for an offshore wind farm due to component life, then you have the option of repowering (Fitting new turbines and cables).
