The
recommendation
came
in
a
report
that
urges
an
alternative
plan
for
low-carbon
energy
supply
in
Britain
in
the
event
that
new
nuclear
plants
are
not
built
on
time.
There
are
plans
to
build
16GW
of
new
nuclear
capacity
by
2025
to
replace
old
plants,
but
cost
overruns
and
delays
have
already
resulted
in
a
string
of
companies
pulling
out
of
the
programme.
“The
government
seems
to
be
crossing
its
fingers
that
private
companies
will
deliver
a
fleet
of
new
nuclear
power
stations
on
time
and
on
budget,"
says
Tim
Yeo,
chair
of
the
Energy
and
Climate
Change
committee.
