Proceeding contribution from David TC Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.

Energy Security

While we may disagree on other matters, does the Secretary of State not share my concern that, paradoxically, those who are most worried about global warming appear to have shut their minds to the only reliable form of electricity generation that does not generate any form of carbon dioxide? Does he not find that puzzling? Will he ensure that we get on with building nuclear power stations as quickly as possible? Rather than building only enough to generate 24 per cent. of our electricity, should we not go beyond that, as the French have?
