Dad you know that fairgrounds have electric generators that are mounted on trailers or lorries  that can be moved from site to site?

Yes son…………..so?

Well there are floating nuclear power stations as well.

That's interesting.

Yes dad, the U.K. should buy some and position them where most needed don't you think?

Sounds a good idea son.

Here's details dad…….

  • The UK already has some in fact since the 1960's at least! They do float some of the time, at other times they are submerged, and can be located and have travelled all over the world. What are they? Nuclear powered submarines of course………………………..

  • I heard that in the power shortages in the 1970s ships generators were synchronised to the grid at portland  and used to help maintain supply's not exactly the same but very similar

    Zoomup,

    I cant possibly answer that question given it is covered by the official secrets act and would be of National Security Importance and you would not be worthy of that answer! Or if I did let you have that info, would need to shoot you after I told you…………………………..

Terence Price said "the word folly did not seem appropriate after the accident".[42]
