EDF nuclear to power UK trains

What a great idea: EDF nuclear to power UK trains: http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/C_Nuclear_for_the_long_haul_1101131.html ..."By electrifying more track and contracting nuclear power supplies from EDF Energy the UK rail network operator will reduce fossil fuel use over the next ten years.
A joint statement today described how Network Rail will purchase power exclusively from EDF Energy, with that supply matched to nuclear generation. With a requirement of 3.2 TWh per year, Network Rail is the UK's largest power customer. It owns all the railway infrastructure and purchases power centrally, recouping money from firms that operate trains across its network."
