And what would be the gain for the UK Parliament to use fearmongering tactics for something like that?
Probably the same thing that has American congress doing it. Ties to fossil fuel companies.
I doubt it's what you say.
All countries have ties to fossil fuel. There is even a shared history of oil and nuclear energy
Apart from that, currently Britain prepares to go all-in on nuclear power — after years of dither and Keir Starmer expected to confirm result of 15-year search for investment at UK-France summit next month. For me, this would be a reason not to spread fearmongering on this matter.
So, any other reason you can think of to back your argument?
Thr socialistworker.co.uk has a clear anti nuclear bias.
It was easy to find multiple articles with them bashing nuclear from a simplr Leta search.
I hope the UK government does go hard on nuclear. It's a good supplement to renewable energy. With the rigjt reactor type, it too could be renewable energy.
