Problem being...we usually already have the infrastructure in the UK but sell it on to foreign based companies to develop (on occasion) and profit from.

As for taxes, the largest of the companies seldom pay any taxes, they syphon there UK profits off to their headquarters abroad and write off debts they've accumulated elsewhere.

I wish more foreign countries would come to the United States and build stuff they can't take with them, employ American workers, and pay American taxes.....oh and provide the United States with electrical power? Even better.

UK, I am envious.

Platapus. As Jim already mentioned the foriegn companies not paying any tax and the infrastructure already existing lets add the things they can't take home. In this case decommisionng costs and the storage of waste.

Safety is not a word Japan seems to understand.

What on earth makes you say that? Fukushima? Because here we suffer all the time with earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis?

Did you not see Toyota boss's recall and apology over a rare failure on a car.
