The Energy Industry makes profits north of 100bn despite the current near-recession money which could be used for public works projects rather than capital. Energy is a Commodity to kept not a capital to be speculated upon.

Currently the financial benefit of nuclear development in the UK is largely being seen by other countries e.g. Hinkley being operated by EDF. We are effectively subsidising other countries power

because it is dangerous and a waste of funds when funds can be spent on much more important things such as healthcare education and welfare

Nuclear energy holds considerable advantages for the UK. It provides a dependable, low-carbon electricity source, aiding the nation's decarbonization objectives and lessening dependence on imported fossil fuels. Furthermore, nuclear initiatives generate employment opportunities, foster economic growth, and establish the UK as a frontrunner in nuclear technology and innovation. With its lengthy operational lifespan and consistent baseload capacity, nuclear power bolsters energy security, maintains grid stability, and offers a reliable energy source for strategic long-term planning, positioning it as a valuable asset in the UK's energy portfolio.
if the government owns the industry the quality of the building would be greater as businesses look for cheaper alternatives.

Nuclear power has huge potential to provide for the energy requirements of our time and our future. The inherent risks of nuclear power are all but eliminated by stable climate, which we enjoy, and competent management. The national power grid is an essential and inherently vulnerable piece of public infrastructure. It should be nationalised nuclear or no.
