Are you for real?
This is an aerial view of Lancaster over the Cuadrilla site. I've outlined the Cuadrilla site in the red circle in case you missed it.
You can't possibly call that wrecking the countryside. It is a tiny footprint of land !!
This is my local MP on the picket line in Balcombe when cuadrilla tried to 'frack' in parts of the South Downs National Park, if Cuadrilla ever come back this way again, they can expect a very warm welcome from me too - with bricks, eggs and tomatoes!!!

Things might look rosy now, but the UK population is increasing beyond control. Certainly, the government is doing nothing about it anyway.
Then there is the added possibility that the Frogs may decide (out of spite) to reduce or even stop our importation of their nuclear electricity.
North Sea oil and gas will run out before long.
If the eco-warriors should be successful in preventing further fracking, the next decade or two could be quite interesting.
I suspect that when that happens, people will begin to change their minds when we have power cuts as in the '70s. I hope it won't be too late by then.

Our expectations are on demand availability. Renewable sources like wind and solar are on availability of the resource. Making the two match would require storage on a national scale. We are not there.
So yes, I agree. The next few decades could be a challenge.

A longer term solution is nuclear fission. Yes, there is the problem of disposal, but that is perfectly achievable.
Nuclear fission could keep us going for many decades or possibly even centuries, because the quantities of fissionable materials are enormous compared to the quantities actually used.
Nevertheless, that too is bound to run out eventually and the next great means of energy production for the very long term future is nuclear fusion.
This has yet to be made to work in practical applications, but I am convinced that it will happen and, of course, the 'fuel' - water - is all around us.
