Britain’s long awaited ‘new’ nuclear power station was given the green light to start construction in 2007. At that time it was promised to be ready in 2017. Now, in 2024, it won’t be ready until 2031, the cost will be £27Bn more than originally promised and the power will cost 2-3 times more than the electricity from renewables that can be built on budget in three years even out at sea. If you greenlit another Hinckley now it wouldn’t be ready till 2048. No more of this insanity.
