KEEP WALES NUCLEAR FREE CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1565, tabled 6 February 2006 by Jennifer Willott (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 24 members.

That this House congratulates all those involved in the Keep Wales Nuclear Free campaign; believes that building a new generation of nuclear power stations would be far too expensive, environmentally damaging and poses a major terrorist and potential long-term health risk, and would not reduce carbon emissions in order to counter climate change; calls on the Government not to build any new nuclear power stations in Wales; and believes that future energy demand can be met more cheaply, cleanly and far more securely by focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy, a diverse and decentralised energy supply and by promoting new technologies such as carbon capture and storage, clean coal and hydrogen fuel.
