We'll see...

If you could grow biofuel

We aren't talking about growing bio fuel, fool.

We are discussing a SOURCE OF CARBON when synthesising hydrocarbons using nuke.

in sufficient quantity you would just build another ten Draxes.

You are so f****ng stupid that you can't actually manage to comprehend what is actually being discussed.

You were stupidly rabitting on about how hard it is to get carbon atoms out of the air or sea when in fact it is trivial to use plants to do that and use that as a source of carbon atoms if you want to synthesise hydrocarbons using nukes.

Funny, I could have sworn you said, upthread: "Or just grow quick growing crops."

Ooh look, it's even quoted above.

Biofuel works for the Brazilians, overlooking that their land area is over 3 million sq miles (UK is less that 100,000 sq miles), and population around three times UK.

Ah, so we were talking about growing bio fuels.

But not for biofuels, as a source of carbon atoms after the turnip stupidly claimed that there is no viable way to get carbon atoms from the air or sea. That is bullshit.

Having fun thrashing that straw man ?

Even you should have noticed that the UK imports wood chips and stupidly burns them to generate electricity.

The other obvious approach for the UK is to have lots more nukes, use electricity to heat houses using heat pumps or even just resistive heating and use natural gas as a transport fuel. That tech has been around for decades now.
