Doubts Mount Over UK's Nuclear Energy Future
From Telegraph
With two reactors apiece, the new plants would together generate 16 gigawatts (GW) – one billion watts – of affordable, low-carbon power – a crucial part of the Government’s plans to keep the lights on as polluting coal and old nuclear plants are retired.
Or at least, that was the plan. But with nuclear developers pulling out, policy proposals deemed unworkable and costs spiralling, the chances of it actually happening on time – and affordably – seem, at best, slim.
