Ekins talks about the world's biggest nuclear power project at Hinkley Point in Somerset UK. Nuclear plants can supply zero-carbon power continuously, and Hinkley will generate 7 percent of current UK electricity demand for 60 years, at a rate that's now cheaper than that of power from offshore wind. The mid-2020s, when Hinkley would come online, could see the UK locked into a 35-year commitment to an inflexible and expensive form of electricity ill-suited to a new energy landscape.
