  2. Fuck yea! Congratulations Britain for ending by far the most overwhelmingly deadly/damaging power generation method in human history within your borders.

    We all love to poke fun at the UK at times, but this is a well-earned W and they deserve nothing but congratulations.

  4. Such a great W.

    On an unrelated note, I wonder if this is correlated at all with the UK having the highest electricity prices in Europe?

    Probably not though!
