Liberal Democrats criticise Government go-ahead for nuclear power
The Government will tomorrow end nearly four years of internal debate by announcing plans designed to entice the nuclear industry to invest in a new generation of 10 nuclear power stations in Britain. The new stations are intended to provide Britain with energy security by reducing dependence on imported gas and oil. They are likely to produce 20% or more of UK electricity needs and will replace today's generation of ageing reactors.
