 Disastrous nuclear deal puts UK energy security at risk

 Karl Sheridan, Yorkshire Post 18 Mar 16 I FERVENTLY pray that EDF do, indeed, pull the plug on the proposed new build nuclear reactor at Hinkley Point. Although the Government is all for it, surely common sense would dictate that it just doesn’t make sense for our country to invest billions on a design that is already outdated and, according to figures, will be highly expensive to run?

We, as a nation, should be investing in this country, not allowing other countries to fleece us, as is already happening. EDF is already proving to be a lame duck in the energy market place and to form a partnership with them would be disastrous in the long term. Why couldn’t the money being wasted on HS2 be used instead? Far better for us to have a secure UK-owned energy supply than knocking half an hour off a train journey, surely? http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/yp-letters-disastrous-nuclear-deal-puts-uk-energy-security-at-risk-1-7805594#ixzz43I4nTGfT
