There is no need to go short of electricity in any event. We have a decent supply of wind turbines, solar panels and hydro electric projects that could be brough into service.
If there is anything wrong with Britain at the moment it is:- We have got lazy, and prefer to watch TV, listen to music far too much and mess about on computers, these things have taken your souls and prevented people from using their grey matter. If TV had been around in the 18th century we would not have been the industrial power house that we once were.

Thanks

Hinckley isn't even on-line yet, and the total cost is estimated to be around 25 billion. In the broad scheme of things, it doesn't seem unreasonable to shit-can China and France, pay them for what has been done and then build the rest of it using UK resources.

China is a nation that steals intellectual property rights and hands them to the chinese state. It is certainly no innovator and has lousy productivity figures. We don't need that at all.

Here comes another thread your going to derail and ruin. If you want to discuss the belt and road initiative start your own thread on it. In the mean time, keep out of mine because all your doing is trying to screw up a lot of work I put in creating it.
Typical little englander response. You are on the world wide web.

Despite your best efforts on EU corona facts you missed these. As a service to your thread: https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-...rity-action_en

Aren't the actual costs double that ? (According to your national audit office)

The reactor is is supplied by a french firm, on condition they will be maintaining it. You can buy them of, perhaps, but I wouldn't count on that.

You're right on the chinese the UK contracted. CGN was sanctioned by the americans for espionage. Lucky the UK has no secrets for the chinese.

Priceless

Like many of you stated, out of the EU doesn't mean out of europe. The article is about european countries and their reactions to covid. It is quite normal that the UK should be in such a comparison. Don't carry your hate of the EU too far.

Re: The "Missing" EU COVID-19 Figures

Our figures can not be trusted. The administration has been lowballing the numbers since day one. There is a recent news story about the state of Florida refusing to let coroners report the Covid death numbers, even though they are, by state law, "public" records.

One reason our infection rates are so low is because we aren't doing enough testing. No verified test, no Covid. A lot of Americans have died from "complications from pneumonia."

The only reliable figure to compare countries on, is the number of excess deaths. At the end of this year, early next year a comparison can be made. But a sort of competetion, on which country did best, based on the number of dead people? Let's get real!
