NEW YEAR CHALLENGE TO NUCLEAR POWER

The Government's plans for a new generation of nuclear power stations could be stymied after GREENPEACE today raised the prospect of a fresh legal challenge. The environmental group, which lodged a successful legal challenge to the energy review last year, says it is ruling nothing out.
An independent group of academics and scientists has also accused the government of conducting a second "flawed" consultation into the future of nuclear power.
The experts said in their report that the five-month consultation was "rushed, undemocratic and failed to properly represent the complexities of the issues involved." Just about par for the New Labour course, isn't it ? Let's hope this shameful railroading is stopped in its tracks.
