Boris Johnson said “nuclear is coming home” as a result of the government’s energy strategy.
In a social media video to promote the plan, which is finally being released on Thursday after repeated delays and cabinet wrangling, the prime minister said:
In the country that was the first to split the atom, the first truly to harness its power to light our homes and drive our factories, we will once again lead the way. Nuclear is coming home.
So instead of a new reactor every decade we will have a new reactor every year.
