I know! Lets pay *foreign* companies *twice* as much as the going rate, for a hugely unpopular way to make electricity, that has a horribly dirty downside, which also makes it a very dangerous target for terrorists. Everything has pros and cons, so where are the pros for this decision? (Oh, Im talking about the new nuclear plant in Somerset, UK, that will be built by the French, and owned by the Chinese.) Energy security: no. Any alternative clean-energy solution gives this, and when you add in the terrorist potential, the security aspect is actually negative. It is also one-big-power-station, which means single-point-of-failure risks are higher, and transmission costs are large. Jobs created: doesnt count. Any alternative clean-energy solutions creates those same jobs. Anyone else got a pro for the British people?
