According to the 2020 Energy White Paper, electricity demand could double by 2050. In order to meet these new requirements, and the government’s own ambition to have nuclear make up 25% of Britain’s energy mix, it is imperative that we build more nuclear in this country.But nuclear power is still playing second fiddle to other sources of energy. Most existing sites are currently scheduled to close by 2030. And even tacit support from the government for new nuclear power development is difficult to gain. Approval for the construction of nuclear power is sclerotic and too often inhibited by government bureaucracy and inaction.
