Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bob Seely (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill.

I rise to speak to amendments 1 and 2. If I have time, I will get to amendment 9, but I will speak for no more than five minutes.

I hear what people say about the importance of renewables, but it is not a choice between renewables or nuclear. Frankly, if the world is to have any chance of meeting its carbon targets, it is not “either/or” but “and”. I am afraid to say that we see the environmental, energy and security disaster that is Germany’s imbecilic energy policy, caused by the shutting of nuclear and the dependence on Russian gas and lignite coal, the dirtiest form of energy production known to humanity.
