Iceland's volcanoes could power the UK: but at what cost?

Comment

So once again the politicians are avoiding the decision, to our ultimate cost. Why put the UK ever more in the hands of an oversea source of power? Even if we have to import the primary "fuel", for goodness sake have the commonsense to build the power stations here and that means NOW. At least we will be in charge of their security. Scrap the HS2 and use the money to kick start the construction of new UK power stations. At least we will all benefit from that investment, rather than just saving a few minutes on a trip to nowhere.
