New Nuclear Power

Proceeding contribution from David Mowat (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 February 2013. It occurred during Backbench debate on New Nuclear Power.

I, too, am a free marketer in general. In this case, however, if we leave it to the market alone, the answer will be coal or maybe gas. Does my hon. Friend not believe that carbon is a bad thing for society, that the Government must therefore intervene to put a price on carbon, and that the CFD structure that they are introducing is a mechanism for putting a price on carbon, which is good for us and good for the planet?
