Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Electricity Market Reform.
Electricity Market Reform
I could not be clearer than to say that there is no subsidy here which attaches to nuclear power. The subsidy attaches to low-carbon generation, and whatever the Member's view, the reality is that nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source and the subsidy applies to low-carbon generation. Over time I want to see the technologies as they are at the moment compete, so that we can find which are the most effective at providing our consumers with low-cost electricity from low-carbon sources—and the framework will allow us to do that.
