UK: LABOUR GOV'T APPROVES NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

BBC: New nuclear plants get go-ahead

A new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK has been given formal backing by the [LEFT-WING LABOUR] government.

Business Secretary John Hutton told MPs they would give a "safe and affordable" way of securing the UK's future energy supplies while fighting climate change.

He said any plants would be built at or near existing reactors by private firms and said he hoped the first one would be completed "well before 2020".

• THE USA OUGHT TO BE DOING THE SAME.
• FRANCE GETS 80% OF ITS POWER FROM NUCLEAR REACTORS.
• THE USA ONLY 20%.
• WE SHOULD DOUBLE THAT.
• WHAT'S STOPPING US? THE LEFT... THE DEMS.
• WHY IS OIL SO EXPENSIVE?
• IT'S AS MUCH THE DEMS FAULT AS OPEC'S.
• WE NEED TO EXPAND ENERGY SUPPLIES TO REDUCE PRICES, AND DEM/LEFT POLICIES PREVENT US FORM DOING THIS.

THE DAY WE ANNOUNCE WE ARE DRILLING IN ANWR AND OFF THE COASTS OF CA ANSD FLA THE PRICE OF OIL DRIPS 15%.

WANT CHEAPER ENERGY? VOTE GOP.
