BTW - I'd bet your house you're wrong.It isn't costing us, it is costing EDF and the strike price was already set.
EDF will threaten to walk and we'll foot it.

EDF takes €12.9bn hit after Hinkley Point C delays and cost overruns
French energy firm swung to profit in 2023 despite impairment charge on struggling nuclear project in UKwww.theguardian.com
It's coming, mark my words. And nearly 50bn for a single reactor.The French finance minister, Bruno Le Maire, said this week it would be “fair” for Britain to share the burden of the extra costs.
While UK bill payers are insulated from the cost overruns at Hinkley, they will be exposed to equivalent risks at Sizewell, which has a different funding model

And we're footing decomissioning and "dealing" with the waste.
AND:
Fun times.
Meanwhile: Sellafield.
Whilst you're ignoring the lion's share of the cost (decomissioning and waste) - I said previously, we will. To requote the French finance minister:As said previously, we won't be helping EDF on the current reactor.

Of course, politically, we'll likely pay somewhere else. Just for the optics of it. But we'll still pay. And we're paying them a fuckton already.
Shouldn't be going anywhere near Drax. That fucker needs shutting down.Good but we need many more:

Don't see why pointing out ridiculous expenditure is pointless.That another pointless post deserved a pointless reply

The costs of sellafield are at the levels that it holds back infrastructure spending in the UK. The sort of increases that puts the tory black hole and the tax increases we're all going to stump up for in perspective. And this is financial millstone we're giving ourselves could have more meaningfully been spent in a better bang-for-buck way - including saving lives from fossil fuel.
You mean the unproven, untested facility which many scientists say will be fucked and leaching within 100 years?Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository in Finland.
