Hinkley nuclear power is being priced out by renewables
Nuclear has been priced out because of the opposition to it by well intendent but misinformed interests.
I agree that there were, inherent dangers associated with legacy nuclear installations. but we were trapped in these "legacy" installations because of because of these misinformed environmental,and political interests and the costs they imposed in the creation and implementation of new , safe nuclear technology.
Newer nuclear technology, where the reaction shuts of if the system loses power. In other words the default position is off.
Then there is the disposition of waste.
A- , newer generations of nuclear reactors generate less waste, and such waste can not be used in the creation of nuclear weapons.
B- the argument is made that such waste will last 5,000 years!! Yeah it would if our generating ,and disposing technology remains at 1972 levels for the next 5,000 years.
