EDF are it seems ready to build a new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point in the south of England.
I've only heard the headline story and have missed any details of what guarantees EDF have been given regarding the price they will be able to charge for electricity, which has apparently been a bone of contention up to now.
No doubt this will be another poke in the eye for us consumers.
But these things take ages to build anyway, (I'm sure the latest attempt by EDF to build a reactor in France is late and over original budget). I'd far rather a new swathe of gas power stations were built. There is plenty of the stuff, they are relatively simple and quick to build, and it might even mean there are less of those ridiculous, part time generating, bird killing windmill eyesores that blight the land right now.
Nuclear won't do it. Buy a generator is my advice.
