Britain’s first new nuclear power station will open in 2018, Energy Secretary Chris Huhne said, denying the country will miss its own carbon-reduction targets because of delays over planning permission.
“We’re on course,” Huhne told BBC Radio 4’s “Today” show. “We have very clear signals from investors that they are going ahead. I’ve absolutely no intention of the lights going out on my watch.”
