Obsession with nuclear power is wrong for Britain, Mr Blair

The worst kept secret in British politics will be out this week, when the government’s Energy Review confirms that Labour wants a new generation of nuclear power stations.
It will be the central conclusion of the Review, though expect ministers to play it down and announce some welcome surprises for supporters of renewable energy, energy efficiency and the alternative vision of a de-centralised energy system set out by the green movement and embraced last week by the Conservatives. However, the Review will be remembered not for these, but for a costly and misguided commitment to a new wave of nuclear power stations.
