Green Reaction to Blair's Nuclear Power Plans?

[pipp3355]

What is the green party's position on nuclear power?

For example, what is the green party's argument against pro-nuclear power organisations such as the enviornmentalists for nuclear energy movement:


"Fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) the dominant energy today, are being rapidly exhausted, and are the cause of wide scale pollution of our environment, while nuclear and renewable energies are much cleaner : they have absolutely no global effect, produce only very small amounts of waste that are easy to manage, don't affect the planet's climate, and these energy sources (renewable energies and clean nuclear energy), if well managed, are sustainable in the very long term."

And what is the green reaction to Tony Blair committing Britain to a nuclear component in energy supply?

I doubt that any green party would back nuclear, nor would I trust that any 'environmental' group backing Nuclear does not have Nuclear industry backing. Its inherently wasteful...
