Hinkley was and is an aberration.
Its a fucking stupid project that was signed to make a political point. Instead of thinking about the needs of the next 100 years, it was signed to fulfill a short term political goal.
The government were over a barrel, the people making the contract knew it, and the government signed anyway.
They've already doubled.
Now, of course this is more complex because some of that price rise is due to "levies" being placed to support both "green" initiatives and support for the vulnerable.
