New nuclear power plants to be announced soon!

Sharrow | 29.08.2007 15:43 | Ecology

Goverment to reveal new energy plans which involve the continuation and growth of nuclear reactors as main power source.

The following was taken from a financial analysis article:

Potential gains of 61% in twelve months are up for grabs when the
government reveals its new energy plans on the 10th October.

And the true extent of their nuclear ambitions is startling:

Plans for a "new generation of plants"... with replacement reactors for up to 19 "existing or redundant civil and military nuclear power stations".
"Nuclear makeovers" for 14 old coal and gas-fired power stations "in the Midlands, the south coast near Brighton, and near Bristol".
Plans for over 12 stations to be constructed on "completely new Greenfield sites".
All in all, as many as 8 brand new nuclear power stations could be erected from scratch in the next 15 years, at a cost of £1 billion each.

Is the the future that we want?, reduce carbon emissions by building more nuclear reactors then dispose of the waste by attaching it on bombs to drop on other countries around the world?
