UK to go nuclear...

Tony Blair is right - if you really want to limit CO2 emissions, then nuclear is the ONLY option.

BRITAIN will start building new civil nuclear power stations under plans backed by Tony Blair, The Times has learnt.

Less than two years after a government paper called nuclear power an unattractive option, the Prime Minister has become convinced that building nuclear power stations is the only way to secure energy needs and meet obligations to reduce carbon emissions.

In a controversial move, he wants planning procedures to be quickened so that the first stations could be under construction within ten years, far earlier than expected, advisers have told The Times.

Of course, I believe that we DON'T have to limit emissions, but that's a whole other story.
