Building resilience from homes to national grids

Which major infrastructure-building programmes would you prioritise?

Proposals include integrated railways, road reorganization, nuclear conversion of coal plants and layered energy security, followed by a national water grid.

Proposed infrastructure projects include an integrated railway network, reorganized roads and the replacement of coal-fired boilers with nuclear heat sources. Clarke's preferred UK project is energy security at household, local and national levels. Homes would receive solar panels and batteries through means-tested contributions, with installation required before house sales after a five-year transition. His aim is for household batteries to provide a couple of days of independence while a renewed national grid maintains broader supply. Multiple levels of generation and storage would reduce dependence on any single supply. A national water grid is his proposed next project after electricity.
