“A global climate deal in Copenhagen needs all countries to make the most ambitious commitments possible, but it will also require us to change how we generate our energy. Nuclear is a low carbon and secure source of energy and must be part of our future energy mix if we’re to meet our climate change goals. We’ve already had commitment from industry to build 16GW of new nuclear in the UK. This manufacturing package will ensure we utilise the skills that we have in this country to make sure those power stations get built.”
Lord Hunt, UK Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, on 3 December
"If you had asked me 20 years ago about nuclear power, I would have taken the traditional green view and said something like 'over my dead body'. To achieve decarbonisation of our power, nuclear has to be part of the answer."
