Say No To Nuclear

17.07.06

Edward Davey, Liberal Democrat MP for Kingston and Surbiton, has launched the Liberal Democrat energy policy, which provides a comprehensive alternative to nuclear.

Together with Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ming Campbell, Edward Davey visited a Combined Heat and Power station in Woking to launch the policy initiative. They used the visit to highlight how efficient and environmentally friendly energy generation is possible without using unsafe and uneconomic nuclear power.

Edward Davey said,

“A new generation of nuclear power stations will cost taxpayers and consumers tens of billions of pounds.

“In addition to posing safety and environmental risks, nuclear power will only be possible with vast taxpayer subsidies or a rigged market.

“It is an issue that crops up in my postbag time and time again. People don’t want nuclear, but they don’t know what the alternatives are. Now they do, and the alternatives are cleaner, safer, greener, and better for the environment and the taxpayer.”
