Hinkley Point C might be delayed again.
Why? Because Natural England say the £700 million spent on fish protection at Britain's next nuclear power station is not enough.
We can't go on like this.

There's a real risk our newest nuclear power station might be delayed- again.
The upcoming Nuclear Regulation Bill needs to fix this, giving developers certainty by allowing them to pay into a national nature fund instead of forcing every project through years of legal wrangling

Real risk that all future nuclear power plants get bogged down in this sort of nonsense. The planned Nuclear Regulation Bill needs to allow developers to pay into a national nature fund instead of forcing every project through years of bespoke surveys and legal wrangling

Natural England’s out of control demands will push up everyone’s energy bills.
And yet they will pay no price for this.
We have to end the vetocracy which means the unelected and unaccountable can block the critical infrastructure we need as a country.

When it comes to building roads Britain needs to improve in defence, midfield and attack.
@Sam_Dumitriu channels David Moyes to @NickFerrariLBC as the bill for the Lower Thames Crossing spirals again.

Hinkley Point C is the world’s most expensive nuclear plant.
About £700m has been spent on fish protection alone.
Incredibly, the plant’s 2030 switch-on could be delayed because regulator Natural England thinks they haven’t done enough to protect fish.

Reminder: a two-year delay to Hinkley Point C Unit 1 would mean about 24TWh less clean firm power on the grid, between 2-4bn cubic metres more gas burnt, and as a result between 4-8m additional tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Is AC banned in British new builds?
In theory, no. But in practice it is ruled out in most cases for new builds.
In this blog, I explain the specific barriers within Part O of the Building Regulations that block AC being installed in most new builds.

Another practical thing the new Welsh Gov could do now to make lives easier.
Building regs are devolved. We don't need to wait for new powers to make new homes better to live in.
We've just had Wales's hottest ever day in May. Our electricity has never been cleaner.

Britain is a hot country now. But we don't build for the heat. Overheating regulations prioritise passive cooling and treat air conditioning as a last resort.
It's not enough any more. Active cooling should be normal in new homes.

Britain's building regulations are biased against AC, despite the Climate Change Committee declaring that all new hospitals and schools should have AC as standard.
The rules force housebuilders to maximise passive means of cooling before considering AC.
The result? Most new homes have tiny windows, but still can't cope in Summer.
While housebuilders in London have been told to maximise 'dual aspect' which cuts into valuable floorspace, while failing to cool our homes in 30C heat.

Our homes are overheating too regularly. It's not comfortable and it's not safe, particularly for older people.
We need to change overheating regulations and cool Britannia with home air con.

60 German cities have mass transit, compared to only 7 in England.
If the mass transit taskforce gives mayors the power to build it could see England finally catching up with the much better transport our friends in France and Germany enjoy.
Mass transit taskforce could see regional Mayors handed more powers as Leeds tram plans given boost trib.al/5uQEh0O
