00:09So, yeah, it should be lower, of course. I mean, it's all about profit, innit?
00:13They're just making such a massive amount of money, and that's all they're bothered about.
00:17And I mean, obviously, with the cap as well on the old people's as well, that's horrendous for them.
00:23As a mechanical engineering student, I find, in my opinion, that maybe we should look at intermediate solutions for renewable energy, such as nuclear.
00:32There's a lot of environmental action against nuclear because of nuclear waste and just fears.
00:38It produces no greenhouse emissions. It's cheap. It's reliable. It's a lot easier for us to set up.
00:44It's a lot safer. France has relied on it. I believe the direction for us is nuclear energy because energy is too expensive.
00:51I'm really for green energy. I think it's a great thing.
00:55But also I think with the cost of living crisis at the moment, people are struggling to pay the bills.
