Oh, I didn't know we invented Prince 2, another thing to apologise for...

Well it's being built by the French 😄

But Europe or America the story of the same. Cost overruns and other issues mean nuclear is running out of steam. We are at the end of the age of nuclear... Until fusion comes along, apparently only 20 years away

Our local new #nuclear power station, Hinkley Point in the UK, is years behind schedule. The cost has more than doubled to £40bn ($46bn) and the strike price (guaranteed price we as electricity customers will have to pay for it is £106per mwh (index linked so will be nearer £150 by 2028 (for 35 years) when it is planned to be operational.

This when #wind is costing as low as £40 per MWh.

Nuclear energy is a scam

There seems to have been a bad culture of sexism in Spanish football with many women refusing to play.

I see no reason to disbelieve her. Why should she agree to be kissed by her boss.

Someone that high profile is paid a lot of money to provide good leadership.

He obviously felt that he had the power to behave that way. Which is exactly the problem.

I think she said she didn't. So that's clear.

It's surprising he hasn't apologised. But it shows how strong the culture of misogyny is in that organization that he feels he can brazen it out.

#Nuclear is an expensive, uninsurable, unviable tech kept afloat by usually authoritarian government subsidies that produced waste that will be around for thousands of years.

Nuclear fission is a dead end technology.

Wind, Solar and Battery tech will be in place in a fraction of the time and for less cost.
