Edf Powerstation.

Why don't we build our own power station, why does it have to be French? Seems daft to have a power station in your country and pay some one else to produce energy from it, and then sell it to us.

Why did the chancellor tell me Hinkley 'will go ahead' five days ago? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36923122

 

Did you ask him?

Apparently the last of our nuclear industry went the same way as our gold.

 

Sold off by Gordon Brown.

All the more reason to build another of our own, British Newclear Power Company.

Why build it in somewhere as lovely as Somerset?.....put it in the centre of Luton !

We've no money to build power stations now apparently. And once we've sent all the Polaks back we'll have no-one left to build them either.

My dad worked for the CEGB and we have a family friend who was a nuclear scientist of sorts, he designed switches that weren't electric and used water or something mental. During the 70s and 90s here was loads of hysteria over nuclear thanks to the cnd etc and nuclear power became a political weapon and very unfashionable like fracking is today. The short version is that we cut research and funding for nuclear science and we simple do not have the expertise anymore...they're all retired.
