Wales is Westminster’s latest nuclear football
Johnson’s government has announced new nuclear reactors on Anglesey, but it’s home-grown renewables jobs for locals that are needed, that would ease fuel poverty and minimise harm to the environment, argues LINDA PENTZ GUNTER

BRITISH Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised Wales his government will deliver one, or even two, new nuclear reactors to the Wylfa site in Anglesey.
The US firm, Westinghouse, is one of the companies potentially lined up for the contract to build them.
