We cannot afford £14B to build a power station so rely China and France to fund it. We can afford £42B to build HS2 that will not work without electricty. The country needs electricty but we can live without HS2, electricty will benefit many HS2 a very small minority. If we have £42B to spare can we build without relying on other nations 3 new power stations. Please explain this is just crazy
I think it will be a good way to kick start the construction and civil engineering industries along the whole of the hs2 spine. However, We should be building our own powerstations two out of the big 6 formed horizon nuclear to do that but got fed up of been Fucled about by the government so they sold out to Hitachi. Hitachi hope to build a plant at oldbury
This government need something to waste our taxes on! Do we really need a high speed rail network more than we need to spend the money on hospitals and schools etc? This country is going down the pan at an alarming rate and these Pollocks couldn't give a toss!!!
