Are not future rip-offs very likely, given the extraordinary deal on Hinkley Point nuclear power station which guarantees compensation to a French Government-owned company if British Government energy policy changes at any time over the next 35 years?

Will it be decided by Parliament or by the Government in a private deal, in secret, with a nationalised company?
