You clearly missed the 'as long as it's not subsidised' bit lol..
Also didn't they basically block fracking as well..
Well talk about changing the goal posts
At the time, in peak austerity lets not forget do you actually honestly think the tories would have wanted to publicly fund nuclear
(just a tip/reminder before you go on one of your (yet again wrong) rants about me being a corbynista again, I am a fully paid up member of the conservative and unionist party)
The simple truth is no one was really wanting to pay for nuclear back then, and they still don't today. Cameron was actually quite green.
Like many the LDs changed their views on nuclear, completely rationally, when the full scope of climate change began to be accepted.
And and FWIW Boris has done naff all, all he has done is allocated (which can be undone) part of the already ring fenced funds for nuclear to the Sizewell C site.
Its also only a fraction of whats needed and the rest of the money to get it built is NOT allocated since they were looking for foreign investment and basically ended up with only EDF left.
EDF who are basically a french nationalised energy supplier lets not forget.
Talk about taking back control, not.
Blocking fracking totally makes sense, we missed the time to do that, we are transitioning away from fossils and better spent focussing our efforts there.
The NIMBYism on fracking would be far worse than on shore wind, and the Tories are banning that due to NIMBYism right now...
