Anas Sarwar’s ‘nuclear plot would hammer Scottish bill payers’

THE SNP have hit out at Anas Sarwar’s plans for new nuclear power stations in
Scotland. The Scottish Labour leader vowed on Wednesday to end the SNP’s
“ideological block” on new nuclear power stations in Scotland if he
were to become first minister – insisting this is costing jobs and
leaving households with higher energy bills.

“The SNP have chosen
misinformation and scaremongering on nuclear power – leaving Scotland
with less energy security, higher bills and fewer jobs,” he added.
Nuclear power is a key dividing line between Labour and the SNP, who are
staunchly opposed to the construction of any new nuclear stations in
Scotland.

But now, the SNP have highlighted the findings from a Norwegian
government commission which said that Norway should refrain from
introducing nuclear power at present amid its still plentiful hydropower
supply and cheaper alternative new energy sources. SNP depute leader Keith
Brown hit out at Sarwar’s comments and said the plans would “hammer
Scottish bill payers”.
