It seems so many people in the governments of all nations are still owned or hoodwinked by the belief that nuclear power is the savior from climate change and the eventual end of fossil fuels. That we can and must burn every drop of oil, cubic foot of natural gas and every ounce of coal before transitioning to renewable energy. Now they are touting SMR technology as the new savior. Nuclear power is too dangerous, too expensive, and totally unnecessary for our energy needs. Go to the website of the Solutions Project who have developed plans for 146 countries and all 50 states of the United States with just wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and solar energy.
And EDF are refusing to update their original £20bn estimate to build Sizewell C “Baroness Sheehan directly asked the Minister for an updated cost estimate for Sizewell C, which was refused on grounds of "commercial confidentiality"”. Horlicks! Sizewell is a more complicated, less accessible site if Hinkley is clocking in at £33bn to date, you can bet your bottom dollar Sizewell is looking at £40bn. No wonder they daren’t mention the price.
