UK Nuclear Energy Policy

I recently came across this Financial Times article about UK nuclear energy policy. It's a bit dated but thought you might want to take a read.

Essentially it talks about the difference in views between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats. Yet despite these differences, there remains a commitment to nuclear energy, which emits zero greenhouse gases (GHGs). Furthermore, the private sector appears relatively unfazed about the need for 100% private sector funding so long as they have the regulatory certainty needed to make long term plans about nuclear new build.

If you really want to get into the weeds on UK nuclear energy policy take a look at their 2008 Nuclear White Paper and, more recently, the UK's draft National Nuclear Policy Statement.
