Responding to a report today by the IEA calling for a programme of new nuclear power stations, Sarah North of Greenpeace said:
"The IEA's thinking on energy has lacked imagination for as long as it has existed and its analysis perpetuates antiquated thinking. Investing in nuclear power is a sure way to lose the battle against climate change. It costs up to ten times as much as energy efficiency measures to get the same carbon savings and creates huge security and environmental threats that will last for tens of thousands of years."
