A slightly fuller picture before Harry posts to say that it is.


It's sad that the government is prepared to pour massive amounts of
subsidy into renewables (ROC's), and allow them to charge high prices
for their electricity (CFD's), yet is being mealy-mouthed about the
best long-term option this country has for carbon-free generation for
many decades into the future.


Can't help thinking, too, that China and Japan saw getting their
designs into Britain as a way into Europe and other first world
markets, given the UK reputation for having a strict but effective
regulatory environment. And something approaching international
standardisation has got to happen if nuclear is to be a big part of
decarbonisation.

There are already international standards

Yes but only at high level, not the sort of thing that the UK regulator
requires.

yes preciseley that.

There is no need for decarbonisation.

We are pretty sure about that, but too many people disagree. We are not
going to see sense in our lifetime.

Neither are we going to see much climate change
