The thing about nuclear in the UK that puzzles me wrt coverage in the media is that there's this assumption that the *government* will decide if we're to have new nuclear plants. It ain't so. Thatcher's government privatised the electricity generating industry so it's entirely up to private investors to decide how to generate electricity now ! No amount of polticicking will change that. Either nuclear is a good investment or it isn't. Of course, the rules may be changed ! Be interesting to watch this one. Same goes for the USA btw. Graham
