A new report out today casts doubt on the ability of the nuclear industry to deliver its promised new reactors.
French companies EDF and Areva, who are at the forefront of the new worldwide reactor design and building programme, have been making serious investments in foreign markets where they hope to build new reactors, including here in the UK. As a consequence they are heavily in debt.

Proposed sites of new nuclear power stations. See below for key
Do you live in the vicinity of one of these 11 locations, which are being proposed as potential sites for new nuclear power stations? Happy about it? If not, then you've got less than three weeks to read and respond to the information provided by the companies bidding to develop each site as part of the government's 'consultation' process.
Not only that, but if you take the information contained in the 'have your say' guide on the government's website, you'll run the risk of being seriously misled over issues as fundamental as how much nuclear actually contributes to the UK's energy mix, and how and where the spent fuel will be disposed of.

With echoes of that fantastic/horrifying

giant EDF has been busted for spying on our colleagues at the Greenpeace in France.
Five people have been indicted by the French
courts, including two EDF security executives, a computer expert and the head of
a private investigation firm. The charge: attempting to hack into Greenpeace
