French company buys controlling stake in British nuclear power
'Centrica, owner of British Gas, is negotiating with EDF to be its minority partner in the acquisition and may end up paying around £3bn for a 25% stake in British Energy.
However the deal is likely to be controversial on several fronts, including whether EDF should be able to develop new power plants on existing British Energy sites.
There is also the issue of whether the UK's energy needs should be placed in the hands of a firm run by a French company.'
That's the idea - making every country dependent on forces outside their control.
