Plaid Cymru Party in Wales sticking firmly to their anti-nuclear position
— Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price has said that nuclear power is “the wrong answer” to Wales’ energy needs as three new nuclear reactors have been mooted for Wylfa on Anglesey. The UK Government have shown a renewed interest in nuclear power over the last months as soaring energy prices and the Russian invasion of Ukraine put energy supply and security firmly on the political agenda. US nuclear company Westinghouse has put together a consortium with construction group Bechtel to revive plans for two nuclear reactors at Wylfa since Hitachi, a Japanese conglomerate, abandoned their own plans in 2019. A consortium led by Rolls-Royce also wants to place one of their own ‘small’ modular reactors on the site. Speaking at Plaid Cymru’s conference in Cardiff, Adam Price – whose party is in control of Anglesey council – said that although there was discussion within the party they would stick firmly to their anti-nuclear stance. “We’ve always been a pluralist political party that allows a debate to ensue and to reflect the fact that obviously there are, and there have been divergent views on this issue,” Adam Price told Sunday Politics Wales. “But at the national level, of course, we can only have one policy and our national consistent national policy and every motion that we’ve ever had an annual conference has been consistent that we are a party that doesn’t believe in nuclear. “We do not support nuclear power. It’s the wrong answer. Renewables absolutely is the way to go. And I fear that, you know, nuclear power, very expensive and unnecessary distraction.” Nation Cymru 27th March 2022https://nation.cymru/news/nuclear-the-wrong-answer-says-plaid-cymru-leader-as-new-reactors-mooted-for-anglesey/ |
