ISIS Press Release 22/05/06
Which Energy?
Parliament Launch of ISIS 2006 Energy Report
Final Announcement Note Room Change
Everything the Government’s Energy Review Does Not Tell You
|
Ex-minister for the environment
Elliot Morley rejects nuclear energy and said of the UK government’s
Energy Review: “If the review was open, transparent and fair looking at the
options on economic grounds across a whole life cost assessment of nuclear
stations, the solution may well point to renewables.”
ISIS’
Energy Report does that, and more. It brings together the science, ethics,
economics, safety and politics of available energy options to help us make
the right choices.
“Highly readable and comprehensive!” “Inspiring!” “Excellent!” “Brilliant!”
“Offers real solutions.”
Sponsored by dozens of civil society organisations, politicians and citizens
worldwide
The Report will be available at the Launch Conference
