Anyway, I don't want anyone to stop building renewables, but I don't want anyone to stop building nuclear either. We need every option.

(Even if nuclear is a safer bet.)

My understanding was that the #Messmer plan was implemented with no public consultation, debate and with state finance.

I'm not sure that would work in the UK or most countries nowadays.

#Hinkley was proposed in 2008 as one of 8 reactors and is planed to be completed 2028.

So it has taken a long time, the cost has more than doubled and the #energy will be expensive

Ultimately, #nuclear will be judged by its record
