Don't worry, someone will be along in a minute to tell us that nuclear

Nuclear if not the cheapest option, is one of the cheapest and no CO2
problems.


If that is really the case, perhaps you should tell the companies who
are poised to start building the next generation of nuclear power
stations, because they refuse to start without agreeing a very hefty
long term subsidy.

Not true.



If what you say is true, nothing would be holding them back!


whats holding them back is the possibilty that some green government of
bearded mumpties will come along in 10 years time just as they are
commissioning them and produce a totally unrealistic set of rules and
regulations they have to abide by, so they wont be able to use them,
without spending the same amount all over again, at which point the
bearded mumpty can say 'look, I told you they weren't safe or they were
too expensive' and go back to picking the toe jam out of his feet and
dreaming of sex with angels.
