Pro-Nuclear Lobbying
A January 6, 2005 Letter to the Editor of The Times signed amongst others by Tom Foulkes, the Director-General of the ICE, urges the Government "not to delay decisions that might prevent nuclear power remaining an integral part of the UK’s future energy mix since we do not believe there are any technical or safety reasons why it should not do so...Besides reducing CO2 emissions, a new generation of nuclear power stations could enhance security of energy supply."[1]
According to The Times, earlier in 2002, "[r]eports from the Royal Academy of Engineers and the Institution of Civil Engineers have told ministers that they will have to approve new nuclear power stations to guarantee future supplies." (The Times, August 30, 2002)
