Fossil Fuels and Cost of Living Increases

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2023. It occurred during Debate on Fossil Fuels and Cost of Living Increases.

I thank the hon. Member for his intervention, with which I agree 100%. The nuclear obsession is using vast amounts of money, diverting attention and also sending mixed signals to investors, who really do not know what kind of energy future this country is planning for itself. It is a massive white elephant. Nuclear power stations are not coming in on budget and on time anywhere, and the idea that we can now achieve that here in the UK, against all the evidence in so many other countries—and, indeed, against the evidence here at home with Hinkley, for example, which is massively over budget and massively late—beggars belief.
