    WHAT
    British energy giant Centrica is in talks with the two largest French nuclear energy providers on the development of new nuclear facilities in the UK

    WHEN

    Britain has not built a new nuclear facility in 30 years. The ones discussed could not go into operation before 2017.

    WHERE
    East and west of the English Channel.

    WHY
    17 British nuclear facilities presently generate 20% of UK electricity.
    New plants would cost $3 billion apiece.
    EdF already buys and sells energy in Britain .
    EU members france and Britain are committed to the EU goal of 20% renewable energy by 2020.

    QUOTES
