Whatever the pros of nuclear power vis-à-vis carbon emissions, in the long term it is no more sustainable than fossil fuels – and has inherent dangers of its own. Greenpeace suggests it is not a real solution to our energy demands and requests:
Why not take the trillions set to be invested in the dirty, dangerous fuels that got us into this mess in the first place, and put that money into rolling out the clean, cutting edge technologies that can power our world?
For that to happen the government needs to maintain its commitment to tackling climate change. The cabinet is about to make a key decision that will determine whether we stay on track to achieve our carbon reduction target. Please email David Cameron now reminding him that the UK needs to stand by its climate change commitments.
