Britain’s Nuclear Push Won’t Add to Power Bills, Davey Says

U.K. Energy Secretary Ed Davey denied that consumers face increases in their power bills to help pay for new nuclear reactors.

“There is no public subsidy for new nuclear,” he told BBC television’s “Sunday Politics” show. “I am determined to make sure we negotiate hard. Because I am really worried about consumer bills, I’m not going to allow the negotiations on nuclear to add to bills.”
