Those comparisons are mildly interesting, but BBC´s article feels incomplete since it doesn´t try to answer why is it so expensive or why is it being proposed on a time when nuclear energy is on the decline. Will it provide massive amounts of energy for a long period of time thus paying for itself? Do specialists think that solar and wind power won´t be enough for the UK? Is there a nuclear lobby pushing this plant? These comparisons feel like a simple blog post of someone who looked for data on wikipedia. The info by itself isn´t bad, but I expect more from the BBC.
