McKinseys are not God

So, the CBI commissioned McKinseys to investigate the benefits of Nuclear powered and carbon captured coal versus renewables – and McKinseys came up with the fact that nuclear and coal were better for us! No doubt they took all the variables into consideration and their huge team of very expensive experts will have brought all their brain power to bear in a totally unbiased way.

Well, if this was the case I wonder if they could tell us all how much it costs to decommission a nuclear plant or are they assuming that the private generating company simply hands it back to us when they are finished making a profit from it. I would also like to know just how they factored in the costs of carbon capture coal power stations as I don’t think that such a thing exists yet.

These sods are at it again, putting shareholder value before everything else even our sustainable future. Don’t believe a word they say, they will do anything for a large fee.
