Energy Review Simply Offering Blair Political Cover For His Nuclear Views - Baker
12.00.00am GMT Sun 22nd Jan 2006
Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, commenting ahead of the expected launch this week of the Government's energy review, said: "This is an energy review without a purpose. The Government published a credible white paper on the issue only a few years ago, and they should be implementing that rather than beginning another review.
"This review is simply a retrospective way of justifying the Prime Minister's wish to build a new generation of nuclear power stations, something the earlier white paper did not recommend.
"The Government is all too aware that the UK can have an energy mix which keeps the lights on and secures supply that does not include nuclear power."
