UK’s nuclear plan – a’reckless strategy’

Nuclear sites are a colossal mistake Halifax Courier (UK) 17 November 2009 Cllr. Nader Fekri J.P. (Lib Dem, Calder Ward) Now that the Government has unveiled its plans to fast-track a new generation of 10 nuclear power stations, I think that it is fair to say that this may well be their most colossal mistake regardless of where they are built.

We should not forget that new plants in the UK have never been built without massive cost to the taxpayer and a lethal legacy of toxic waste.The Government seems ready to override all objections as to where new sites will be built. New nuclear power stations are a reckless strategy for our energy needs as it won’t be ready for many years and would only make a small contribution to Britain’s demands.
We Lib Dems believe that the best way for Britain to reduce emissions and secure its energy supply is by the rapid development of renewable power, which is clean, safe, and effective and would create huge numbers of jobs.
