"The government subsidies are simply huge: a nuclear tax is being levied on hard pressed consumers. What is the government thinking of? The fossil fuel industry, which has thrown its weight behind nuclear power, is of course delighted; all these decades of new construction without any electricity to show for it gives at least another decade or two of unabated burning gas"
Paul Brown on his life as an environment writer.

UK is not good at building Nuclear Power plants.

Well, whether you like them not that sucks. It's also, sadly, unsurprising. The US Tech Bro complaint about US regs stifling nuclear don't hold up, but this does have UK overcomplicating things and a culture of "we know best/NIH" written all over it.

FFS! Even at a UK level of project incompetence we could build a like-for-like baseload nuclear replacement for Drax for this money. and then we could stop cutting down Canadian forests to greenwash a greenwashing boondoggle.

(Leaving aside the fuckton of wind, solar and storage we could do with it).

Of course no one in our right-wing press is complaining about the this waste of money.

@hackaday
This is some seriously outside-the-box thinking! 🧠⚡ Putting nuclear reactors underground could solve a lot of safety and space issues—but 2026 for a functioning reactor?
.
That said, if they pull it off, it could be a game-changer for clean energy. 🌍⚛️
