UK Government Launches Biggest Expansion of Nuclear Power for 70 years

Janet

Responding to the UK Government plans to boost the nuclear power industry with the Wylfa site under consideration, Janet Finch-Saunders MS, Shadow Climate Change Minister, said:

 

“Whilst Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru are cutting the clean energy budget from £9.7 million to £2.8 million, the UK Conservative Government is ramping up support for nuclear energy.

 

“Nuclear is green, cheaper in the long term and will ensure our energy security for the long-term.

 

“North Wales has the sites and skills required for nuclear development, and thanks especially to Virginia Crosbie MP, Wylfa is in the running for major investment.”

 

ENDS
