Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill — 3 Nov 2021 at 18:25
“We see no economic case for the building of any new nuclear power stations.”
“10 years ago I parked the issue of nuclear power. Today, I believe without it, we are going to face an energy crisis and we can’t let that happen.”
“International climate objectives will not be met if nuclear power is excluded”.
“The idea of large power stations for baseload is outdated”.
“meets no technical or operational need that low-carbon competitors cannot meet better, cheaper and faster.”
“Nuclear stations are particularly unsuited to meeting peak demand: they are so expensive to build that it makes no sense to use them only for short periods of time. Even if it were easy to adjust their output flexibly-which it isn’t-there doesn’t appear to be any business case for nuclear, whether large, small, ‘advanced’ or otherwise.”
“Opposition to nuclear energy is based on irrational fear fed by Hollywood-style fiction, the Green lobbies and the media.”
“leapt dramatically forward into the space age”.
“the nation’s biggest and most powerful…yet interfering as little as possible with the beauty of the Anglesey scenery”.
“the youngest engineers to take charge of an atomic power station in the world”.
“I do not question the use of nuclear energy as a way of solving our energy problems in the short term”
“the problems of storage and transmission of power.”
“International climate objectives will not be met if nuclear power is excluded.”
“renewables alone would require unfeasibly massive amounts of storage”-
“to keep the lights on… we are in a climate emergency and need all the clean energy we can build right now”.
“Our environment, our economy and our communities need Ministers and MPs to back new nuclear.”
“As Greens we trust the science on climate change. As Greens we should also trust the science on nuclear”.
