Nuclear power?

Call me a cynic, but prevarication about doing anything about climate change has given Tony the opportunity to claim that nuclear is the only option.

It is like not calling the Fire Brigade to you house until the blaze is totally out of control, when you call the demolition squad: “I’ve changed my mind in light of the full extent of the fire.”

This is, of course, the third (or fourth?) energy review in this decade, but none have actually led to anything being done. Vacillation to avoid taking a decision is never attractive.

In this case, Tony seems to be saying that renewables are out and nuclear is in. So where is he planning to dump the waste, or will we need another twenty or thirty reviews to decide that over the next century?
