#EDF today says #HinkleyC's operation delayed another year (or two) to 2030/2031 and costs increased from £31-34bn [2015£] to £35-36bn - that's £50bn in today's money. Oh and #SizewellC paid £1.6bn to #HPC for its "expertise" (yes really!)

#Centrica earnings slump so it wants more predictable income, like #SizewellC. BUT this is at our expense, because WE're paying investors a set amount through our energy bills during construction - years before any electricity - and beyond!

#BBC quoting a #HinkleyC resident: "We should have zero unemployment but there's an awful lot [of workers] coming in from outside. At peak times, it's gridlocked. One night we were driving and I counted 25 coaches, that's what bugs me."
