EDF is owned by the French Government, it can't be "finished".

"finished" = bailed out by the French taxpayer. Is that better?

Still "finished" in my book. If they were wholly a private company,
they would be classed as insolvent.

They need to borrow billions to build Hinkley C and it's by no means
certain they will be able to obtain the finance. Yes, the French govt
is their guarantor, but look at the state of the French economy...

The whole thing is a colossal cluster****.

Technically and financially.
