They are, it seems, in dire straights financially. Due to problems in the
US nuclear power generation field. And one of the major players in
proposed new stations in the UK.

So as the costs of installing renewables are falling, the costs of nuclear
causes a chairman to resign.

Of course it could never happen here. Every major project always comes in
on budget. Regardless of the value of the pound.

Yes but to be fair I think that Toshiba have too many fingers in too many
pies that are not cooking as well as they should be. Often happens if the
things you diversify into all underperform at the same time unfortunately.
Nobody has invented the crystal ball.

I used to be a fan of their electronics, Had a video, a cd player and really
wanted some of their globe speakers but never found any of the latter that
were cheap enough.

The costs of renewables are not falling. Neither are the subsidies. The
costs of nuclear are being deliberately driven up by use of green scare
tactics leading to massive over-regulation.

renewable energy has killed so many many more people than nuclear ever will.

The only UK nuclear plant actually going ahead at the moment is Hinkley
Point C, led by EDF with 33% Chinese funding.

The next most advanced prospect comes from Horizon (owned by Hitachi)
which proposes Advanced Boiling Water reactors at the old Magnox sites,
Wylfa and Oldbury.

The NuGen proposal for Westinghouse reactors at a new site in Cumbria
(Moorside) always was more tentative even before Toshiba's present
difficulties.

I'd have said the Chinese proposal to build a Chinese design at Bradwell
was probably more "solid" even though the regulators have not yet given
generic clearance for the design.

Nuclear power has never,and never will be,financially viable.

If they had as many regulatory powers on house building to make them as
safe as nuclear generation there wouldn't be any houses. Even more so
wind turbines and solar panels.

The only economical way of reaching the goal of reducing CO2 is to kill
95% of the population.

Even sillier than you usually manage.
