Looking back at page 59 of the 2010 Liberal Democrat manifesto, one
finds a promise to “reject a new generation of nuclear power
stations.”
Last week the Energy Secretary Ed Davey, a Lib Dem, gave the go ahead
for the first new nuclear power station in Britain for a generation,
at Hinkley C, in Somerset. Today, he and the Business Secretary Vince
Cable and another Lib Dem promised help to enable UK business to
compete in the global nuclear energy market.

Time for another ’sorry’ video?
