As we seem stuck in a world with no inflation the guaranteed price per unit of electricity looks prohibitively high to me but this is a big call involving major investment at a time when every small straw in the wind is being looked at through the prism of Brexit.
Not if they announce something in its place. Presumably once we're out of the EU we can go back to coal for some of our energy?
A workmanlike, solid speech from Hillary Clinton last night in which she portrayed herself as someone who could bring America together and take it forward while portraying Trump as a hypocrite, dangerous and a divider. It was not a brilliant speech but probably enough to give her a narrow lead by next week

I suspect in addition to the sheer expense, the Government is getting worried that EDF won't see the project through and it will be left with a half built nuclear power plant on its hands.

They need to be quick. We have still not recovered from Ed Miliband's incompetence when he was in charge of energy and we are dangerously close in terms of spare capacity. Peak pricing and a tight market will not make the UK attractive to manufacturers.

Why not tidal lagoons http://www.tidallagoonpower.com/ for up to 8% of our needs? We probably need a mix maybe including nuclear, but this particular project looks like a financial disaster. Coal isn't the answer.

Well I didn't think Clinton's speech contained much that was memorable. Apart from a considerable expenditure in balloons for the end.
Trump's was the better speech in my view, though Bill Clinton and Obama were better than both. Hillary will get a bounce but probably not quite as much as Trump did and while she had a small lead before the conventions the polls look to be now neck and neck, with Hillary fractionally ahead
I a weeks time she will have a 5 point lead, minimum.
According to the +/- figs the LDs would have had 42·1% and Lab 44·7%. last time out. Call me picky but surely that can't be an LD hold?
It's a multi-member ward so the swing calculations for a by-election get weird (or someone may have added it up wrong).
We should also remember that the LD winner was the wife of Ed Townsend whose death caused the bye-election. He was a well loved figure in the city and nearly won Newport East in 2005 and 2010.

She can't win trust, she can't win affection but she can show competence and suitability for the job. Given her opponent she hopes that is enough.

Coal isn't the answer.
