Curiosities of decision making – Life Cycle Costing

Hinkley Point. Always interesting to see decisions made that ignore basic management accounting principles. 

Here the Conservatives have committed us to paying over the odds for electricity for 35 years and of course, we will end up also paying for the decommissioning costs at the end of the plants short life. The problem will go on a very long time after it ceases to make electricity.

Further evidence, if we needed it that politicians do not make decisions like management accountants!
