“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
“The European power supply must incorporate all energy sources including coal and gas, renewables, and nuclear energy to meet goals of environment protection and security of supply.”
