Nuclear Plans Ruled Unlawful

The UK Government recently announced their support for continued nuclear development as the way forward for 'greener' energy, including the building of more power stations. This was after 'consultation' (I use that word loosely!) with the appropriate bodies, and looking at relevent 'facts' and figures etc.

This descision was opposed by many groups, including Greenpeace who 
challenged the descision in court and got it overturned.

Sarah North, head of the Greenpeace nuclear campaign, said:

"The government's so-called consultation on nuclear power was obviously a sham,
and we're pleased that the judge has agreed with us."

"The government completely failed to consult adequately and even kept relevant documents to themselves. They've now been forced back to the drawing board to
conduct a proper and lengthy review."

Result!
