MP Mike Weir catches British nuclear executive, admitting that nuclear is dangerous?!
We are not quite sure of the source of the quote by Scottish MP, the Honourable Mike Weir, below; but we shall post our followup. AND maybe, we'll see if we can an interview with MP Mike Weir. Here's the piece:
Scottish MP cites senior British Nuclear Fuels executive, admitting to dangers of nuclear energy, on BBC Radio!
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, David Bonser said … "the Government have decided to go ahead with nuclear power here in the UK. Now, of course, there’s lots of risks around that…"
Mr Weir said:
"David Bonser’s assessment underlines exactly why Scotland is right to reject the development of dangerous, unnecessary and costly new nuclear power stations."Nuclear is unreliable as well as unnecessary. Installed capacity of renewables in Scotland already exceeds installed capacity of nuclear power. We can achieve secure, clean, low carbon energy by harnessing Scotland's vast green potential, tackling climate change without adding to the burden of toxic radioactive waste.
"The risks and uncertainties of nuclear power, in terms of waste disposal, decommissioning, security and health concerns, or cost, are far too great.
