Thing is, it was the first of the new wave of coal stations. These were meant to be rush-jobs to plug the 'energy gap' when the old generation are decommissioned in 2015. A delay till 2016 is effectively a cancellation. Even before we get into the thing that the Times said, that Eon are never going to say they've crumbled.

That's fantastic and thanks to everyone that was involved. I'll look forward to cycling over there next week.

Thing is....it wouldn't be that Eon have decided to bribe Tory politicians rather than Labour would it, knowing what'll happen in the next election.
