That Tony Blair energy policy statement in full:
Yes, we've gone for the nuclear option. The world has changed radically since the last energy review. At that time the situation was very different. Today it's different again. And tomorrow it might also be different. But. For the sake of our children we need to face the facts. Climate change. Global warming. Environmental change. Energy security. Climate change. We can't ignore the unpleasant realities. So. This government, my government, has to be bold and take the decisions that only we can take.

Pretty good piss-take of Blair!
The truth is though, that Margaret Becket screwed up the last energy White Paper by forcing silly anti-nuclear policies into it - classing it with coal and gas and making nuke generators pay for non-existent CO2 emissions. It obviously should have been classed with wind, solar and hydro. Anyway, she's been moved over to destroying Iran's nuke industry instead and we're putting together a sensible energy policy by undoing her wrongheaded mistakes.
