Maybe he's just pleased that a company that can't compete without state
aid will no longer be a burden on the taxpayer's teat?

There are much cheaper, reliable, pleasing on the eye and cleaner ways
to generate electricity than wind.

And road subsidies.

Inn fact if we removed ALL subsidies we would after a period of intense
turbulence emerge as a far more efficeint society.

Remind us how much taxpayer's money is going to go into Hinkley Point? And
care to guess how much the costs will overrun by? And how much electricity
consumers will be subsidising its cost through higher charges?

Rather less than is going into renewables, that's for sure, and it'll
last a deal sight longer.

And generate a **** sight more electricity

Possibly. One day. If it ever gets completed, since the evidence
of it's siblings in France and Finland doesn't look hopeful.

Why can't we just build some more like Sizewell ?.

I am pleased these guys will now be able to find somnething socially
productive to do.

I am sure if its just bumping up the jobs total that bothers you,
digging hiles and filling them in again would be cheaper and less
socially destructive

Or they could all become membvers of the scottish parliament.
