Secret papers reveal new nuclear building plan

This is a case of how a headline can seem more alarmist than the content of the article, becasue when you read you find that there are still this issues to be addressed:

"� 'How might new stations be financed?

� What kind of government support might be necessary for new build to take place?

� How far would new build be consistent with our market framework for energy?

� How best to secure public acceptance?

� How far would we need to resolve the long outstanding issue of finding a final depository for high level nuclear waste, as a pre-condition for progressing new build?'"

So not really 'plans' then, eh? More like discussions; nothing new there then. What's the purpose of this report? I can't decide whether it's to soften us up to accept Nuke power refurb and new build or to try to galvanise oposition ...
