 Why is this relevant to the current nuclear debate? Although Helm says he is technologically neutral, if someone attacks a model that promotes renewables and energy efficiency, by implication it undermines the scientific and political consensus for those technologies. By undermining the White Paper, Helm has made it more acceptable for the government to put forward another energy review. It has also made it easier for the pro-nuclear lobby to push their case and their arguments over cost.<ref>Paul Ekins, ''Reflections on the Session on â€˜The UK Energy White Paperâ€™ At the Seminar on October 12th 2004 at Imperial College on The Costs of Decarbonising the UK and Global Economies,''</ref>
-== Carbon Contracts - Nuclear's Trojan Horse==
+== Carbon contracts - Nuclear's trojan horse==
 Antony Froggatt, an independent energy consultant calls Carbon Contracts the "Nuclear's Trojan Horse". He writes that "the nuclear industry and its supporters, including the European Commission,  are attempting to re-brand the sector as a positive energy option, in particular by categorising itself, along with renewable energy, clean coal and/or  Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a "low carbon technology".
@@ Line 67: / Line 67: @@
 Under any contract scheme the government would auction of carbon reduction contracts to the lowest bidder for a determined period of time. Helm argues that because the contracts tackle CO2 reductions, and not the technologies behind it, "they are technology blind so the government is not forced to pick winners."<ref>Dieter Helm & Cameron Hepburn, ''Carbon Contracts and Energy Policy - An Outline Proposal'', October 6, 2005.</ref>
-However, Bridget Woodman and Catherine Mitchell from the Warwick Business School note that there might be a limit on the number of carbon contract allowances. If this happens â€œthere is a risk that a few big projects "either nuclear of CCS (carbon capture and storage) could sweep up all the available contracts, leaving only crumbs for renewables or demand reduction." The nuclear industry, they argue, "finds the concept appealing."<ref>Bridget Woodman and Catherine Mitchell, ''Communication with NuclearSpin'', September 2006.</ref>

 So what Woodman and Mitchell are arguing is that although in theory carbon contracts should reward all low carbon options, in reality the emphasis will be on large scale generation, ie nuclear. Also providing long term carbon contracts will go a long way towards removing the investment uncertainty which has prevented new build so far. So although Helm argues that carbon contracts are "technology blind" the critics argue that they in effect favour nuclear.

 Helm was also due to speak at a [[BNES]] event in March 2006, called "Securing the Future - The Role of Nuclear Energy". Other speakers on his panel included [[Roger Ewart-Smith]], from [[N M Rothschild]]; [[Mike Weightman]], from the [[NII]]; and [[James Lovelock]]. The Conference was sponsored by the [[World Nuclear Association]], [[Nuclear Industry Association]], and [[UKAEA]] and co-organised by the [[Institution of Nuclear Engineers]].<ref>Sir Bernard Ingham, [http://www.sone.org.uk/content/view/251/30/ "Text of Talk to CPS Seminar"] SONE Website, January 10, 2006.</ref>
