The poodle-state has a long history of "unequal treaties", where they try to defraud. In "Rip-Off Britain", you learn to make sure you've got what you wanted before handing over any money if you can.

But in the summer of 2016 there was little they could do to stop the French government from investing in what would soon become the most expensive power station in the world.

All six trade union representatives on the board of Électricité de France (EDF) voted against a deal to build a nuclear power station in the UK. It was just weeks after its finance chief, Thomas Piquemal, resigned from the company over fears that Hinkley Point C in Somerset was too great a risk.
. . .
In the last seven years these fears have proved well founded. EDF revealed this week the latest delay to Hinkley, which may not now open until 2031, well beyond its original decade-long schedule. Its costs have climbed to £35bn in 2015 prices, almost double the original forecast of £18bn in 2016. In today’s money Britain’s first new nuclear plant in 30 years could cost £46bn.
. . .
CGN has ruled out any further investment in Hinkley – leaving French taxpayers to pick up the tab.

In fact, no one wanted to fund Poodleville's nukilar energy; Poodleville having neither the expertise or cash to do so. CGN demanded guarantees and has now exercised her contractual right to stop funding it. EDF is left holding the bag, having put the money and expertise into the project.

Poodle projects always, ALWAYS, go awry; costing far more and taking far longer than initially claimed. The scottish parliament buildings estimated at £60m, eventually cost £300m and then the goons & thugs squandered another £1m pretending to investigage it. A defence project at Marconi, funded by the corrupt cost+ scheme, where Marconi was guaranteed a profit, was 30 YEARS late and was abandoned because the technology had become out of date.

Rudyard Kipling's "white man's burden" is always "tring it on" as they say in Poodleville; attempting to defraud. Hence, offshore wind farms, which also receives only foreign bidders, because Poodleville is a parasite quakconomy, has recently seen no bids at auctions and one firm cancelling construction. The pothead war criminal allowed blocking of onshore windfarms by just a single protester, in order to divert profits to his cousin, the poodle queen who owned the rights to offshore profits.

Prices awarded in last year’s auction are also causing problems, with Vattenfall’s Norfolk Boreas shelved and Orsted’s Hornsea 3 scheme hanging in the balance.

This is what you get when dealing with infantile robber-baron skoolboys such as cokehead war criminal, BoJo the Clown who claimed that with Brexit he intended to "have our cake and eat it".

The Great Satan is even more egregious, overthrowing Ukraine's democratically elected government, fomenting war, thieving Ukraine's gold and then blowing up the Nordstream pipelines, in order to sell Lucifer Natural Gas at three times market rates.

Despite Huawei setting up a technology centre at her own expense to re-assure about security and having the VERY HIGHEST international accreditation, the Great Satan's Mathew Pottinger berated the poodle for five hours to drop Huawei, even as Verizon thieved Huawei's 5G and had to be sued. Cokehead war criminal, BoJo the Clown complained there was no alternative, whilst Vince Cable admitted it was blocked for political rather than security reasons. In fact, the NSA demanded that Huawei install a backdoor, but were refused. Instead, the Great Satan has proposed the O-RAN scam, where they replace hardware with software so that the NSA can hack it.

Despite passing two security reviews, Nexperia's contractual rights were violated after investing hundreds of £millions, forcing the sale of Newport Wafer fab. to the Great Satan.

They can't compete. They can't cope. The Rosbifs can't even cook. The "first time the mail-boat was a day late", they LITERALLY started eating one another and haven't had a trade surplus since 1982.

And look at how wealth travels towards the gangster parasites:

The electricity is brought to the UK via a growing network of interconnector cables designed to boost the collective resilience and energy security of neighboring countries, according to the outlet. “But closures of British power stations mean the traffic is increasingly one-way with the UK instead becoming dependent on its neighbors,” The Telegraph wrote.
