Summary
The Government urgently needs to find alternatives to oil, coal and gas to help stop global warming. The options are building more nuclear power stations or using renewable energy from the wind, waves and sun.

The decision should be easy. Renewable energy is affordable, safe and clean and the UK has some of the best renewable energy resources in Europe. Wind power at sea alone could meet our electricity needs three times over AND bring thousands of jobs to the UK.

Summary
In May 2002, the government began a consultation process to decide how the UK's future energy needs could be met.

The nuclear industry are keen to build at least ten more nuclear power stations. And despite the apparent openness of the consultation process, government and nuclear industry lobbyists are already setting weak targets for renewable energy and undermining democracy.
