The government has reconfirmed its commitment to invest £700m into Sizewell C, but questions remain over where the rest of the money will come from.

But the Stop Sizewell C campaign group claim the plant"can neither lower energy bills nor give the UK energy independence". Greenpeace UK also criticised the project, saying the expected launch of Great British Nuclear to assist it"is clearly ironic as new nuclear is neither great nor British".Boris Johnson gives green light to nuclear plant funding
