Yup, Brit here. It beggars belief. And the leaders will continue to be so stupid, because the other party will also make this mistake too.

- stuaxo 5y agoIt is still being built and they have a very good deal that means every house hold in the UK will be paying over the odds to give it guaranteed profits for decades to come.

- yodelshady 5y agoper ofgem, wholesale prices have been greater than Hinkley's £92/MWh since October. And that's before we add heating to the winter electric load. Conservatively, and I am really trying here, you're doubling grid load. If we go by my household, you're adding a zero. I can find multiple >12 hr periods in this fairly mild winter where wind has essentially failed on demand (<5% satisfaction). I'm sorry but if someone says "storage" when talking about even that sort of shortfall they're lying.
- caoilte 5y agoyeah, you need a supergrid and to import the electricity from southern spain during low wind periods in UK. France goes through similar bouts of having to import because so many of their nuclear plants keep having to offline at the same time.
