COSTLY NEW NUCLEAR THREATENS ENVIRONMENT

Responding to the DTI Select Committee’s report into nuclear power, Liberal Democrat Shadow DTI Secretary, Edward Davey MP said

“Three years ago, there was a growing cross-party consensus around the 2003 energy white paper’s recommendations. This outlined a vision for a low carbon non-nuclear future.

“The Government has now surrendered to pressure from the pro-nuclear lobby. The country now faces a costly, ineffective and unpredictable approach to the future of our environment.”
