On 23 May 2007 the Government launched a major consultation about nuclear power generation.

The Department of Trade and Industry say:

"To help the country tackle climate change and give us secure energy supplies, it is the Government’s preliminary view that it is in the public interest to allow energy companies the option of investing in new nuclear power stations. As part of this, we want to hear what you think of the information and arguments we have put forward in our consultation document. You can take part in the consultation online at http://nuclearpower2007.direct.gov.uk or for a printed copy of the consultation document call 0845 015 0010. Consultation closes 10 October. The responses we get are important to us. We will carefully consider them and this will enable us to take a decision later this year on the future of nuclear power in the UK".

Have your say by taking part in the consultation and share any information and opinions with other members here - we can then take your comments in to consideration in any policy stance the Ecology takes.
