      Yes! There are lots of possibilities including wind, solar and nuclear power, but there are also plenty of others. The biggest strength of this for the future is that getting our energy from lots of different sources means that overall energy supply will be very reliable.

      Absolutely! Nuclear power is an amazing source of base levels of electricty; the standard amount people use all the time. Renewable energy sources can then provide more flexible electricity when demand surges…for example when people get up in the morning and all start using their kettles and electric showers!
