So according to this author renewables can save us from Putin.
That is regarding this article:
Britain could build seven nuclear power stations - minister (msn.com)
It says they could build 7 nukes by 2050. That may be true, but Putin will be long gone by that time. He will die of old age, or be deposed. He is reportedly sick with cancer so he may not live much longer:

Anyway, perhaps they could build 7 nukes, but I think it would be a lot cheaper and safer to build an equivalent generating capacity with wind, solar and storage. Nukes are far more expensive than wind or solar.
I think they need a short-term solution to "save us from Putin." I do not know what that might be. Something like importing natural gas from the U.S., perhaps.
