Excellent news for the South West
and the UK with some sort of energy self sufficiency being brought back (despite foreign firms in control!); soon to be followed by more
good [nuclear] news. Despite being "
dangerous, unpopular, expensive and risky...replaceable with relative ease and could be forgone with no huge structural shifts in the way the world works" [
The Economist: 24/05/11, the 14% solution] it is still a very viable option that Green activists
should encourage. Already the
future cost being
too high etc is being spouted. The image left (click to enlarge) shows what the area in terms of power generated is but the
cost of nuclear energy will be now so high, increased
"to a level comparable with onshore wind, losing most if not all of the comparative cost advantage, and making it vastly more expensive than coal-fired generation." EUReferendum goes on to say how this due to 'deliberate ploys to increase the price of nuclear plants' and 'fuel poverty will kill vastly more than nuclear accidents are ever likely to'.
"...regulation is reckoned to be enough to have caused the massive hike. And much of the regulation has been promoted by Green activists, the aim being to price nuclear power out of business."

Ah you can tell the world is upside down when Conservative MP's and voters support EU subsidies for a French company to build in the UK with Chinese help :-)
hahaha but you're dead right.
