Interview with Boris Johnson in Hartlepool

The video discusses the importance of addressing energy supply issues and price spikes, emphasizing the need for national solutions. It highlights the UK's potential to modernize its energy infrastructure by building a nuclear reactor annually and utilizing offshore wind power. The political context and challenges of nuclear energy development are explored, including past decisions by the Labour Party. The video concludes with a focus on advanced modular reactors, which offer benefits like producing superheated steam for hydrogen production.
