Our national security experts in the UK, Netherlands, Germany and France all knew back in the 1970s that we needed energy security.
The oil crises proved that.
We all developed nuclear energy, but only France actually went through and achieved energy security.
Sorry, this is not correct. France is importing massive amounts of electricity power from renewable sources from Germany, because the France nuclear power plants are out of order, without cooling water or have cracks in the containment.
