Quotes

Greenpeace responce to Miliband energy announcements [Your Industry News - 11/11/2009]
...the building of major infrastructure projects such as power stations, Friends of the Earth's planning coordinator Naomi Luhde-Thompson said: "The planning system needs urgent reform to enable this country to develop a low-carbon economy - but Government attempts to speed up the approval process mustn't undermine UK action on climate change. 'The effect of these policy statements on the UK's legally-binding carbon budgets is crucial - individual decisions on power stations and roads must only be made if the cumulative impact that they have on total carbon emissions has been properly considered. 'The Government's obsession with building new nuclear reactors is a dangerous and expensive distraction, creating a legacy of radioactive waste that will remain highly dangerous for thousands of years and cost tax-payers billions of pounds to manage. 'We should be investing in the UK's huge renewable energy potential and slashing energy waste, creating thousands of new jobs, meeting our energy needs and securing a safer, cleaner future for us all ENDS"
