Jacob Rees-Mogg wants free energy for nuclear plant neighbors

The Business Secretary proposed Monday that those who live close to nuclear power plants should get free energy.

As part of his promises to make Britain energy independent, Jacob Rees-Mogg pledged nuclear energy his complete support.

According to him, a French-style system in which locals who favor new sites “in the national interest” are compensated would be ideal.

According to him, the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant has been “hugely popular” in Somerset since it delivered “jobs and skills,” including 1,000 apprenticeships.

We should imitate the French, Mr. Rees-Mogg remarked at a Policy Exchange think tank event. In France, you get free energy if you reside close to a nuclear power plant.

“If you act in the national interest, then those who make the sacrifice for the national interest should profit from your action.”

Nuclear power is just basic, he said.

By 2040, the Prime Minister has promised that new wind, nuclear, and shale gas projects would be completed, turning Britain into a net exporter of energy.
