Nicola Sturgeon is expected to temper Boris Johnson's energy plans by
signalling her intention to block the creation of nuclear plants in
Scotland. The Sunday Times yesterday revealed a push by Rishi Sunak, the
chancellor, for more nuclear power stations to be built to help Britain
reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
A source close to Sunak said:
"His general view is that we should have been doing this ten years ago
when it was cheaper, but we can't rely on wind and solar power."
However, the Scottish government, which controls the planning process north
of the border, opposes the technology. Asked for its response to the news
from Whitehall, it referred The Times to a recent statement that it was
"absolutely clear in its opposition to the building of new nuclear power
plants in Scotland under current technologies".
