Judge the Hinkley Point nuclear station by its many enemies

The UK government is pushing ahead with the 24.5bn plant, despite widespread condemnation of what critics say will be an expensive mistake
"You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies," said Oscar Wilde. In the case of the UK government's bid to build a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point, the quality of its enemies suggests the plan is idiotic.
On Monday, the chancellor George Osborne announced 2bn in government loan guarantees in a bid to get the French-Chinese consortium behind Hinkley to finally commit to the much-delayed 24.5bn project.
