UK opposes a 2030 renewable energy target (Conservative push nuclear)

3. From the OP

(Ruth) Davis (of Greenpeace) added that the moves to boost nuclear power would backfire, and be a gift to the gas industry.

"Including carbon capture and storage and nuclear power in the target would enable the big six energy companies to retain their current stranglehold on our power sector, building whatever kind of power generation most suits their business models.

It will lock in public subsidies to nuclear generation and make us more dependent on expensive imported gas."
