Hinkley Point C might be delayed again.
Why? Because Natural England say the £700 million spent on fish protection at Britain's next nuclear power station is not enough.
We can't go on like this.
NEW: The Government spent £22m on its Small Modular Reactor competition- and demanded 50% gender diversity across bidders’ supply chains.
Is it any wonder Britain is the most expensive country in the world to build new nuclear?

🚨 NEW 🚨 Britain Remade research has found the planning application for the Lower Thames Crossing runs to almost 360,000 pages.
If laid end to end, the planning application would stretch 66 miles- 5 times longer than the road itself
Bang on from @matthewsyed.
It's too hard and too expensive to build the infrastructure the country needs.
The path to prosperity lies through getting Britain building again.
Britain once led the world in nuclear power.
Today, we’re building the most expensive nuclear power station in history.
Why? And how do we fix it?
The answer is here:
Can you build a wind turbine in just one day?
We're in Hackney with @OctopusEnergy to prove we have the technology to tackle climate change and reduce energy bills.
We just need to eliminate the planning barriers holding us back.
Cornwall Council declared a climate emergency in 2019. In 2023 they refused permission for a solar farm that could power 30,000 homes with clean renewable energy.
Councillors also unanimously rejected plans for a hotel in Newquay to install 450 solar panels.
We welcome the announcement that 4 nuclear power plants will have their working lives extended - but we should never have been in the position where we nearly had no nuclear energy on the grid.
Time to crack on and get building new nuclear.
There’ll be no nuclear power on the grid in 2029 unless we act now!
Here’s how we avoid that, save the average household £100 on their energy bill and prevent 9 million tonnes of CO2 being released.
