Blair to Give Nuclear Go-Ahead
Posted on: Tuesday, 22 November 2005, 09:00 CST
DOWNING Street last night indicated that Tony Blair would give the go-ahead to a new generation of nuclear power stations.
Number 10 insisted the government was looking at "all the options" to meet Britain's energy needs.
But significantly Downing Street pointed to emerging evidence that renewable energy - such as wind and wave power - was "not 100% effective".
The Prime Minister has promised a decision on new stations by the end of next year. But he is now expected to set up a government review within the next two weeks asking it to reach conclusions by the early summer.
The Confederation of British Industry is also pushing for a decision amid fresh concerns about power supplies
