Nuclear debate
The question of whether or not we should build new nuclear power stations is one of the most difficult we face. Arguably it is also the most important.
Time is running out. Climate change is accelerating. Carbon dioxide emissions have been rising, not falling, under the Labour government. We would all prefer to use clean renewable energy, and Scotland is ideally suited to developing wind and wave farms, however progress in bringing them on line has been too slow. Is the answer to build new nuclear power stations? One or more nuclear power station could be producing large quantities of clean energy within five years.
The Scotsman has made this the subject of their latest ‘debate’, argued in this case between Brian Wilson MP (Labour) and Alastair Carmichael MP (Liberal Democrat).
