An interesting read. Mainly looks at EdF's finances and how much of a
risk taking on HPC would be.

The article states that the finance director of EdF resigned because he
wanted to delay committing to HPC until their reactor at Flamanville is
finished and they are able to audit it and come up with a final cost. A
sensible move, but the board appears not to have agreed.

Maybe there is an agreement from UK Government to underwrite any losses
until its built and running at a profit. I mean if the UK are so sure its a
winner, why not?

If every UK taxpayer volunteered a one off contribution, what would it
be?

If gov.uk thinks it such a sure-fire winner, why isn't a co.uk building it?

Because no co.uk has any expertise in designing and building them
anymore or has any interest in getting involved in doing that anymore.
