Hinkley Point C will be the most expensive power station in the world.
. . . First proposed almost 4 decades ago,
. . . its progress has been glacial,
. . . having faced relentless opposition from:
. . . . . . politicians,
. . . . . . academics, and
. . . . . . economists, every step of the way.

But the irony of Hinkley Point C,
. . . is that by the time it eventually starts working,
. . . it may have become obsolete.
Nuclear power is facing existential problems around the world,
. . . as the cost of renewable energies fall, and their popularity grows.
. . . “The maths doesn’t work,” says
. . . Tom Burke, former environmental policy adviser to BP, and
. . . visiting professor at both Imperial, and University Colleges.
“Nuclear simply doesn’t make sense any more.”
