so we finally realise that if we went to get away from Fossil fuels we need nuclear power. Renewables all help of course but they are very expensive and cannot do the heavy lifting we need. So well done to the government for finally waking up and smelling the coffee. Oh and while you are at it, close down that Drax abomination too.

this "abomination" as you put it was designed and built in the the 60s and started up in 1973 long before and green issues were realised and kept 4 pits in that area going for decades and their communities, this "abomination" can supply 6 million people, and it a masterpiece in power station design,
Three times the original estimate will be laughed at by UK 'experts' in massive projects, otherwise known as thieves and liars.
A minimum six times over budget and excessive ongoing costs once the point of no return has been reached are essential for all UK government approved projects.
Small thinking doesn't get board appointments for former MPs and ministers, going forward.

Togo,
What is a polaroid camera? We went digital years ago. No one buys cameras anymore we buy phones.
Kodak went bankrupt 10 years ago. Funny thing was, they invented the digital camera but suppressed it. They were worried about losing sales of photographic paper and developing chemicals. So they hid the technology for years. But the patents ran out, and they were sunk.

new judge I'm well aware of its connections with the Canadian forests i was commenting on the statement it should be closed down now ,without any thought,
rolls royce and making smaller nuclear reactors for power generators bit still still have around 3 years to get one in operation, of corsebthe massive ones take arornd 8 to 10 years1

I expect Tora has given it some thought. So have I. The best thing that Drax can do to help combat climate change is to convert its boilers back to coal. That has two advantages:
- reducing emissions (because burning wood results in far more emissions per unit of electricity produced than does burning coal).
- continuing to provide much needed reliable electricity.
But since converting back to coal would be is seen as equivalent to committing genocide on a global scale, the best thing to do is close it down. That way emissions are reduced. The fact that businesses and households are likely to suffer power cuts and that these will lead to hardship and possible risks to life and limb is surely no reason to continue allowing Drax to spew out more emissions than are necessary. And I've not even begun to consider the advantages that stopping deforestation of an area half the size of Wales each year will bring.

In a Government Statement that should be broadcast today, an energy spokesman would say that "We would like to assure the taxpayer that a Nuclear Power Station can be built for less than the cost of a couple of Scottish Ferries, in half the time, and of benefit to millions of citizens rather than a few thousand". Sadly it won't be.
it cannot be converted back to coal there is now uk supply of coal it took 4 pits in south yorkshire to keep this monster going
my cards on the table im not for getting the uk zero emissions in such a short time when we are only going to make 1% difference to the worlds emissions "china /india need i say more
