No-one knows the cost of nuclear power. We won't be able to add up the final bill for over a thousand years.

Tony Juniper, Executive Director at Friends of the Earth, said:
"UK energy policy is at a crossroads. We can tackle climate change and meet our energy needs by cutting energy waste, harnessing the power of renewables and using fossil fuels more efficiently.

The Government must set us on the path to a clean, safe and sustainable future and turn its back once and for all on the failed, dangerous and expensive experiment of nuclear power"
