Most Expensive Object on Earth is being built in Britain right now.
Most Expensive Object on the entire planet is yet to come, and it it being built in Britain.
It is reported to cost £24 billion.
And it is none other than the Hinkley nuclear power station, according to Greenpeace.
It costs about £6 billion more, than the expected estimate calculated by the energy firm EDF.
It is 18 times more expensive than the Burj Khalifa, world’s tallest structure found in Dubai.
Approximately 5 times more expensive and costly than that of the Large Hadron Collider – was built in believing to unlock the secrets of the whole universe.
Emeritus professor of energy policy of Greenwhich University, Steve Thomas, said: “Nuclear power plants are the most complicated piece of equipment we make.”
“Cost of nuclear power plants has tended to go up throughout history as accidents happen and we design measures to deal with the risk.”
But, on the other hand, the environmental charity Greenpeace has created a petition in order to stop the power plant from being built, and was signed by 110,000 petitioners as of now.
This has been a concern to the environment, given the possible negative effects of the power station once it begins operating, and environmental activists are simply against this.
Not only it costs a very, very high amount of money just to be built, but it will potentially harm the lives of people and the environment, and what is worth, it could d3stroy the Earth.
Also, it would damage the country’s finances for many decades, causing the government to fall.
Head of policy at the Renewable Energy Association, James Court, said Hinkley Point is in total danger on becoming a “white elephant”.
He also added, “We’ve got the crazy situation that diesel, gas and nuclear are being subsidised, but the cheapest renewables, onshore wind and solar, are not.”
