Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.
Energy Security
On the question of costs, how has my right hon. Friend become bewitched by the pied piper of nuclear power? It has been heavily subsidised, never delivered on cost or on time, and left us a £73 billion legacy. The new nuclear facility in Finland is already two years late and £1 billion over budget. Are not all the other alternatives—wind, wave and the other renewables—far more attractive and practical? They will certainly come in at better value than nuclear.
