Nuclear Power, Yes Please - Green Party

category national | environment | opinion/analysis author Tuesday June 19, 2007 11:57author by Guy de Cervens Report this post to the editors

The Green Partys new minister for Energy, Communications and Natural Resources expresses a desire for a debate on nuclear power generation in Ireland.

Speaking on RTE’s Drivetime yesterday Eamonn Ryan said

“I have no objection to a debate (on nuclear power)…..nuclear may do something in the area of power generation….the nature of this crisis means we have to look at everything”.

What the minister is talking about is at the moment illegal in Ireland. Nuclear power generation in Ireland is illegal.

The Green Party had set a goal of at least 50% of our total energy needs coming from renewable energy by 2020 but the paper for government has actually reduced that to 33%. It seems to be going in the wrong direction.

Meanwhile the other Muppet Minister, John Gormley wants to see points given out to drivers who litter from their vehicles.
