I would imagine that £18bn investment is indeed great news for the nuclear sector, unfortunately at everyone else’s expense. At £6,000 per kW it is clearly not the cheapest power. Neither is it the cheapest way to reduce CO2 emissions. I don’t know what the government’s reasons were for approving this project, but it certainly wasn’t because it makes any rational commercial sense in addressing either our power needs or the desire to head towards a low CO2 economy.

Whilst no-one wants Nuclear Power because there are waste challenges, if we are to de-carbonized our economy we have no choice, other than Nuclear Power. Would happily live next to a Nuclear Power Plant.
