With the Hinkley Point new power station prospects now almost nil after Hitachi suspending work, it good news for alternatives .
Hinkley, Moorside, Wylfa, Oldbury, Bradwell and Sizewell were identified as the sites for the most significant national wave of new nuclear power construction anywhere in the world.
Of those six - only one is under construction, three have been abandoned and two face an uphill battle to get the green light.
We know the problems have been ever increasing costs to build, coupled with the price of electricity per unit of more greener energy production falling by over 50% within last few years (solar/wind), but reliable energy is still a must for when the sun does not shine, nor the wind blow.
The government therefor still has to look at reliable alternatives and this is where AFC could come more and more to the fore.
Probable someone else has posted similar, but with the increase in posts over last few days, I may have missed it.
