Hitachi's announcement of its exit from the angleshi nuclear plant will be seen by many as a blow.
But it also raises big questions about the future of British energy policy.
Nine nuclear projects were recently suspended. 1-
The government's planned deficit.
In order to afford the energy bill, reduce carbon emissions and continue to ensure supply security, this vacancy must be filled.
This is the second major withdrawal in six months, does this reflect a decline in demand for nuclear energy? Short-
This is unlikely in the long run because nuclear weapons provide reliable
Basic load power.
While nuclear energy remains part of a variety of energy portfolios, renewable energy is playing a growing role in an increasingly uncertain environment --
It can not only meet the demand for power generation, but also provide clean energy.
Ultimately, the balance of the UK's energy structure is changing, and it is the government's responsibility to recognize this in the White Paper that will be released later this year.
Governments must also be ambitious in supporting emerging technologies such as energy storage that help manage the intermittent nature of renewable energy --
When the wind does not blow or the sun does not shine.
In a recent report, we support the need for a balanced approach to the UK's energy costs, recognizing the role of the public and private sectors in providing a more sustainable system.
Chris Richards Society of Civil Engineers dear Chris the last time the government had a proper look at the future of our power generation was under the coalition government in 2013.
Although it was not clear long ago, great changes have taken place in the energy world.
Advances in technology mean that prices for electricity generated through wind and solar power are falling sharply, while our energy consumption is falling.
Meanwhile, gas-
Looks like the price will go up forever-
It's cheaper.
Thus, the future that was drawn in 2013 is that the conclusion of the nuclear seems no longer so obvious, especially given the extent to which it is expensive.
Hitachi's project in angleshi and Toshiba's in Moorside collapsed, coupled with all the controversy over Hinkley Point in Somerset, was basically a price drop.
The concern is that the three foreign investment companies will cause other international companies to abandon their investment in the next generation of power plants in the UK.
Governments must seize the opportunities presented by the nuclear crisis and develop a new, more realistic policy to mix renewable energy, natural gas and nuclear power generators that may be smaller and cheaper.
City editor Jim Armitage Bell rightly praised Sir Robert Peel for the repeal of the Corn Law in 1846 [
"Theresa May asked her members of parliament to" think about history ".
She should do the same, "January 18).

Indeed, the UK must join Europe in a century and a quarter later with a protectionist common agricultural policy.
Andy Thomson Robert Peel has a high position in history.
I suspect Theresa may not, because she might put the party before the country.
Essentially, she doesn't seem to make any sense in the last few years, sadly.
Giles Marshall Theresa May has alienated most European leaders in her nationalist language.
Instead of reaching a consensus, she stuck to the end.
She has been demanding ransom from the whole country.
