Well, yes, marginally cheaper in fact, although it's actually less
than for green energy in general. But even at the same strike price as
Hinkley, it's still poor value as it's intermittent, while Hinkley
isn't. If you were buying a car, would you be happy to pay say £15k
for a car that went for twenty miles and then stopped for an hour
before starting again, or would you prefer a car, also at £15k, that
took you from A to B without stopping?

You are having a pop at harry and his plug in EV aren't you wink ;-)

Of course, because harry is both greedy and a hypocrite, he has both
IC and electric cars. The IC for all 'normal' driving jobs and the EV
for getting as much money out of the rest of as possible. ;-(

I think that anyone who buys electricity and doesn't have PV + FIT
themselves and who lives near harry should get him to run them around
as they have contributed to the battery charge (and the cash to buy
the car) after all. Only locally of course or he'd get *you* pushing
*him* home in his EV!
